Colina do Mar

Clean, comfortable but quite dated and simple but the location was so good. The fridge and kettle were very useful to have. The bed was comfortable. There was plenty of wardrobe space, shelves and drawers.

A bar is advertised and photos shown on the hotel leaflet, but it didn't look like it had been open for years. There was no duvet cover on the duvet, just a top and bottom sheet with extra blankets in the wardrobe. There's power sockets by the bed but these were unaccessible due to the wooden bedhead, especially if using a UK adaptor. The female receptionist was helpful, but not very friendly and with minimal customer service (my kettle needed replacing and this was duly done, but with what I can only describe as a scowl ! )

The property was so close to the town and beach

The hill 😂

Excellent location

Rooms a bit outdated

The pool

Sadly, the staff. Sent me to a room where the safe has clearly been battered with a baseball bat and was not usable, advised a safe could be provided offsite when I brought it up, but no further information given - had to carry my valuables everywhere I went as a result. No basic customer service I’d expect from the staff of a hotel, eg giving out a map of the local area, offering recommendations of places in the area. They were physically there, but nothing more than that. Underwhelming!
