Pousada Laguna Beach Club

Great!

A quick stop.

The view was lovely, but the place felt neglected and poorly maintained. We were traveling for work and were met with a strong smell of cigarette smoke in the room. The bathroom was dirty, and the electric shower didn't work, which was completely impractical in cold weather. The corridors also looked uncared for, with buckets scattered along the way. A simple breakfast would have been fine, but we found dirty cutlery, Tang artificial juice, and bread that seemed sour. Unfortunately, it was a very bad experience. The cleanliness, upkeep, and overall facilities left a lot to be desired.

The location is the only thing I liked about this inn. It's very well situated, in what I think is the best area for going out, and stays nearby aren't that expensive. The beds were old but surprisingly comfortable, though the rooms had ants and termites. The service was mixed. Elisabete, the person I met on arrival, was so rude that I felt treated like a freeloader staying as a favor. There was a very polite older man around at night, though. I originally booked without breakfast, then changed my mind after arriving. That was the worst decision of the trip. The food was old and sour, apart from the bread rolls. There were animals and cats around, and they get up on the tables when nobody's there. One cat had a huge tumor leaking pus and was on the tables too. I wouldn't recommend staying here for breakfast or for more than a day.
