The hotel is lovely with a touch of grace and in a great position for acces to the beach and restaurants in Praca The staff are friendly and helpful throughout Our only frustration would be the complex air conditioning in the bedrooms which is a small issue in the entire scheme of things Look forward to our next visit

A hotel of two halves. If you're lucky and get the new extension, the rooms are lovely but you could be unlucky and get the retro 1980s version which needs a complete update. Very much a golfers hotel so expect groups of males.
