One-week package (flight + hotel) with Air Transat from Toronto, transfers included, early October (2024). Late season, beach bathing season officially ends on 10/15, very few people in the water already. The good part: - Very good location, with many restaurants and a nice beach nearby. Two large groceries stores in walking distance. - One-bedroom apartments are large (not a lot of furniture) and kept clean. Yes, the furniture and furnishings are rather on the older side. - Bedroom has two twin beds, no TV. This seems to be the local standard. - TV has many programs in English, from CNN/BBC to American series with Portuguese subtitles. - Outdoor pool is large (especially off-season), with a good selection of drinks/snacks. - Breakfast is repetitive but quite good. EUR 12.60 regular, EUR 8.90 if opting in advance to have it for the whole stay. Solo trip, can't say if mandatory for all guests in a suite. You might find alternatives in the area, but opening later than 8 AM and possibly with a good walk to get there. - Hotel bar has a happy hour 7 to 8 PM, with live shows twice a week. Good drinks, not crowded this time of year (at least before 8 PM). The less good part: - If in the main building (with the reception desk), and facing the (main) street, it gets noisy from traffic. And extra in the evening: loud music from a restaurant across the street - live shows (ended usually before 9:30 PM). Overall it's a very good choice (and less expensive than all other Transat options), I'd visit again - trying to get a less noisy room. Happy travels!
