Feels like a prison. If you like to go to the beach, you need to find the security with the key first. But if you make it outside, it’s awesome.

price over 100 EUR for something that does not correspond to the reality in booking or agoda. there are probably photos of the newer rooms and the reality brings you down to earth. terrace without chairs and table, old and unsuitable furniture, the bathroom door does not close because of the bed and otherwise the photos say it all. And in other locations in San Vicente we paid over 100 EUR per night. but this is the most undeserved. I compare it with Sao Pedro Bay, Shareton, Mansa Marina. When we arrived we had luggage and the person who accompanied us to the room did not even try to help us. We wanted to go to the restaurant but the door was closed. It opened at 7.30 pm. We ate at the beach bar on the beach, it was good. When we got back we bought a bottle of wine at the bar and they charged us more than in Praia at a hotel in the center. The price was not displayed on the menu. In conclusion for me it is a place to avoid.
