It was first time to be in Portugal but the experience was unforgettable moments in life . The food was good and the welcoming experience was amazing. Will be back soon with our children and also the area was very quite which will be ideal for taking a break from England.

Roots Hotel
This is a great hotel. Clean, spacious and our favourite a coffee machine that you can use anytime. The rooms are spacious with their own kitchenette and balcony. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. You can order a breakfast pack that is plenty of food and you can choose to eat in your room ...

Clean. Next to the beach. Some noise in the morning due to construction work outside but quiet at night. Breakfast was cold because they don't cover the food.
