Before arriving, I tried many times to contact the hotel through the contact form on booking.com, and I never received an answer from their part !! The hotel has his own restaurant. Some rooms, like mine, were close to the restaurant and kitchen, which was causing a noisy environment at night.

Breakfast was good, with sufficient choice, but more or less the same each day

Maybe better tea bag.

Breakfast was simple but more than adequate excellent coffee, undercover tables and open air. In the evening restaurant served excellent meals with people arriving by taxi to eat there. Location of hotel ideally situated for both town and beach, just remember this is a traditional hotel not a vast resort hotel.

Towels should Of been changed at least once. Staff could speak more English

Nice big rooms. Very near a beach

No Wi-Fi and no gas in the kitchen although we chose this apartment for this reason. Sewage and humidity smell (as a rule, avoid ground floor apartments in Sal Rei, it was not the only place with this issue). Not much cooking equipment (but in any case there was no gas). No mosquito net on the main door (but there were everywhere else and in good conditions).

The manager, Vladimir. He did all he could to solve the issues we had with the apartment and more. First of all, overbooking. But we got our apartment. Second, check in at 3.30 am, he organised someone waiting for us. Third, no wifi in the apartment. It took 3 days (because of the lack of equipment and technicians) to solve it. Fourth, no gas bottle in the kitchen (gas shortage on the island) so impossible to cook or even just make tea (no kettle either). We bought a small electric stove and he reimbursed us the cost. Fifth, no cars available to rent, only very expensive tours or taxis, he found us a very good driver with a new car to tour the island (which is worth exploring). Sixth, we got very very stomach-sick on the last day, he allowed us to stay until very late in the evening for free with a very late check out. We highly appreciated. Basically, the whole structure relies on this super hero - Vladimir - who fights every day against local disfunctionalities to make customers happy. On the aparthotel: excellent location by the best beach of Sal Rei, the Main Street, and the restaurants/promenade area. Good and varied breakfast in a nice outdoor area. Clean. HUGE apartment. Mosquitos nets almost everywhere. Our apartment was a bit run down (most likely the worst one they never rent but they had to, as it was peak season), smelled of humidity and sewage, lacked the facilities we paid for (see above), but I would go back (asking for another room, of course! So AVOID the apartment N.206 in the nearby annex!) as the top location and the professionalism and care by the manager are an added value.

There was no gas canister to fire up the cooker but the management arranged for us to have a kettle instead. We enjoyed making tea with our teabags from England.

Very friendly property. Management were very helpful for example checking on trips with the company for us and calling a taxi for us. The apartment was spacious. The cleaners were good and came daily. The restaurant called Cafe De Mar was fine and extremely busy in the evenings. Proximity to the beach excellent as well as bars, cafes, supermarket and town centre with the gelateria!

Few people of the staff at the reception could speak English.

The position is very strategic, the buildings are nice and welcoming.

It was low season and there weren't many people in the Hotel to socialize.

The Hotel is Clean, close to the beach and there is breakfast included. The staff are very nice and available all the time. The room was clean.

Would prefer a double bed rather than 2 singles pushed together. A mattress topper usually helps to stop the beds coming apart.

I had a spacious and airy room. I liked the layout of the hotel, the rooms were outside and had a separate courtyard area/ entry way depending on where your room was situated. Beach was close by on one side and on the other side, banks, restaurants, and the grocery store. Enjoyed breakfast outside every morning and dinner in the evenings. Calm and serene atmosphere.

The wifi was not amazing. The bed was a bit too soft for my liking. . The bathroom is in need of some maintenance because the shower was leaking a bit.

Great location. The bar/restaurant is a great place to meet other people staying there, it almost felt like a hostel with the added comfort of having a private room. Very clean. The staff are very friendly, especially Vladimir, the manager who speaks several languages.

It was further from the beach than expected and over looking construction sites. Rooms very basic but was ok as only sleeping there.

Staff were nice and room cleaned every day.

Nothing- although really excited to hear that they have plans for a swimming pool on the premises- I’ll defo be back - with all my friends!

I loved everything about this place! The colour scheme - very relaxing, beautiful murals and paintings throughout, the extensive library and sitting out areas- both covered and uncovered, rope swings for chilling, dining area spectacular- a beautiful vibe to it, staff really friendly, helpful, generous and always go above and beyond ( it was a lovely touch that they put the ‘lion and unicorn’ bath towel out for me, knowing that it’s the same logo on my British passport! Spacious rooms with mini fridge, fan, bathroom, brilliant range of lights - main, side, task light

Loved everything about this place - lovely friendly staff that bend over backwards to help out! Great sized rooms, spacious bathrooms with bidet, places to lounge around- both covered over and out in the open- sofas , coffee tables, rope swings, lots of books to read, really good location- near quiet beach that feels private, local shops and restaurants

Nothing!

Brilliant -loved the bidet in the bathroom- better for the environment! Breakfast included - what a touch! Towels folded in the shape of an elephant- a real welcome!

Was very quiet. My room was very basic and was quite dark with very limited natural light. No Aircon just a fan and the breakfast very average.

Nice location right near the beach and a short walk to the main road with supermarkets and ATMs.
