This hotel is a gem nestled right on Praia Grande, offering stunning ocean views from every room and a serene ambiance. The rooms, though lacking some amenities like a fridge, were impeccably clean and spacious with a lovely balcony. The service was exceptional, with warm and efficient staff making our stay memorable. The location is truly unforgettable, with direct access to the beach and a massive pool for a relaxing holiday experience. The dining was a mixed bag, with delicious dishes served by the attentive staff but lacking variety. Overall, a great value for a peaceful getaway.

The hotel offers functional rooms with ample bathrooms, but lacking air conditioning for proper naps and privacy. The location is perfect for accessing the beach and nearby attractions, though the view from lower rooms may not be as nice. Service is excellent with a helpful and friendly staff, offering various convenient amenities. The dining experience is okay but could be improved with more variety. Overall, a decent choice for those seeking a quiet stay near the beach.

The hotel offers stunning ocean views from all rooms, but some may find them a bit claustrophobic. The rooms are spacious with balconies overlooking the sea, providing a nice touch. The service was adequate, with some helpful tips provided despite not being overly welcoming. The location is ideal for beach activities and exploring Sintra but may not suit everyone due to occasional fog. The dining experience is mixed, with good quality but slightly overpriced options. Overall, a great choice for those seeking a remote yet picturesque stay.

I had an incredible stay at the hotel, waking up to the calming sound of waves crashing against the shore from my amazing room with an ocean view. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and the big balcony is a huge plus. The service was exceptional, with staff being friendly and extremely helpful in arranging transport and providing recommendations. The location in the quiet area of Colares, right on the beach, was superb for a relaxing getaway. However, the dining experience fell short of expectations despite some good points.

The hotel offers a unique layout with rooms essentially being two separate rooms with a shower in the middle, providing privacy from the front desk. The basic room setup was adequate for our needs during the stay, but some may find it lacking in amenities. The service was mostly exceptional, with friendly and accommodating staff, except for one nighttime receptionist who appeared unwelcoming during checkout. The location, a 40-minute drive from Lisbon with a relaxed atmosphere and stunning beachfront views, was the highlight of our experience. The dining options were satisfactory, with varied choices, although not as exceptional as other places visited. The overall facilities met our expectations and were well-maintained, contributing to a pleasant stay.
