Varandas do Atlântico

The location was good and the apartments were clean, but there were a few things to keep in mind. There's no air conditioning, so it gets very hot. At check-in, the woman was quite rude and charged a deposit of 200 euros per person, 800 euros total for our two-bedroom apartment. That seemed astonishing given how basic the place was. We stayed four nights and five days and didn't get fresh towels during the stay. The pool bar is very expensive, we paid 10 euros for a vodka and lemonade. The advertised WiFi only works around the pool, not inside the apartments. Good for the price, but be aware of those points.

The old town is close enough, and the beach view is lovely. It wasn't too loud either. The rooms were lovely, and there are three amazing pools, plus a pool bar with great staff. The rooms don't have internet, so keep that in mind, though the pool bar does. An amazing hotel 🙂

Anna's bar is a great spot for daytime snacks and drinks, and the old town is close by. This is a proper old-school apartment, but it was absolutely spotless, with ocean views. The strip is only a few minutes away by taxi. Great for families, big or small, and I'm looking forward to coming back.

Anna will sort you out by the pool, she's a real gem. The apartments are big and spacious, and the complex is just far enough from the Old Town to offer a bit of both: its excitement and a peaceful, quiet place to stay. Amazing place, highly recommended.
