Really good Stay

peaceful natureaccessible beachfun hikelovely pools
I found the location amazing. The nature around was peaceful and beautiful. The beach was nice and accessible directly from the hotel. I appreciated the easy access to a fun hike to Praia da Marinha. The pools were lovely too.
The breakfast buffet, while good, could use more variety. It would enhance the overall dining experience, if there were a few more options.
