Verified traveller

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is off the beaten path, not close to the beach, restaurants or anything. The property was in poor condition, states toiletries are provided, the only thing provided was soap and toilet paper. No hot water, no notice, and when we came back to the room the second day the door was wide open, "staff was rude, she stated that how would she know that the door was open she doesn't go up to the rooms, when I asked to speak to a manager she said she would send someone up, no one came, I went down the next morning let the front desk know again that no one came and they made arrangements for 9 am, again no one came. Wouldn't recommend and first hotel through expedia that I was extremely disappointed in.

Muito bom para férias relaxadas...

Apartamentos a acusar a idade, mas funcionais, limpeza diária e constante dos espaços , empregados simpáticos e disponíveis. Partilha espaços e serviços com o Balaia plaza mesmo ao lado. Piscinas exteriores agradaveis e relaxantes. Acesso à praia de Santa Eulália via falésia da aldeia dos Pingaretes mesmo ao lado. Existencia de alguns mini mercados ao lado, mas a deslocação ao Intermarché ou outro supermercado do género vale a pena. Não é muito longe da zona animada da Oura.

L' emplacement est bon, les chambres sont d'une superficie interressante; mais l' entretien est déplorable, il regne une humidité permanente; et des moisissures sur les murs qui sont dangereuses pour la santé et ont causé une crise de sinusite à mon épouse.

Not what all what was advertised

The service was horrible. The staff didn't care. I made several complaints and was told they were booked solid and they were "behind". I already submitted more in depth comments to hotels.com when I emailed them after checking in. I was told I'd be contacted. I have not to date heard from anyone.
