Perched on the Setúbal Peninsula's rocky shoreline, the hotel delivers unobstructed ocean views from ceremony and reception spaces, with the working harbor providing genuine Portuguese character that staged venues cannot replicate.
The property's 4.5-star rating reflects its consistent delivery of service quality alongside one of Portugal's most dramatic coastal settings.
Despite the fact, I came here with terrible weather so there’s wasn’t much I could do, but tbh im from uk so a storm is not big of a deal haha! but surely did missed a lot of things, love the fact that, housekeeping knock on door everyday and ask politely if we need room clean. the standard of the cleaning is perfect! For dinner, had a lovely service every time from especially from fabio and storm? I believe the name rymes with orm. Both are amazing! She was lovely, every meal I had she was very attentive and know exactly what we want. Will miss her and her accommodating services. p.s i love the butter that’s served at dinner with bread please may i know what butter it is 😭. The only down side during the stay was breakfast are limited, but still healthy. The wall in the room are crack and the balcony is not v clean tbh. the fridge has a lot of mould. Other than that everything was good, will definitely go back!
