Atouguia da Baleia Holiday Rentals

"The hotel is spotlessly clean, quiet and very relaxing. The bar is enjoyable and the breakfast was great with a wide variety of choices. We were very happy with the hotel. "

"As others have noted, this is an undeniably beautiful place. We stayed in two suites--an ocean view suite on night one, and the master suite on night two. The rooms were both very comfortable and well-appointed. The nearby beach, easily accessible by car, is beautiful, uncrowded, and served by a great little beachfront cafe (full bar, snacks, sandwiches, etc.). All of that is great and as advertised. (There was a minor glitch with the air-conditioning, but that was apparently a hotel-wide issue that was resolved pretty quickly.) The bigger issue is the constant club music blaring through the outdoor speakers from breakfast until 10/11pm. It's very audible in the oceanside suites, including the master suite. We asked several times if the speakers could be turned off outside, as there was often no one sitting outside to begin with. But the staff told us they could not turn off the speakers. They repeatedly committed to turn the music down, but if they in fact turned the music down, it wasn't noticeable. I'm sure there are plenty of guests looking for a beautiful, clubby patio from morning until bedtime. (Although, as noted, I didn't see very many of those people outside during our stay.) But if you're looking for a serene hotel on a cliff where you can hear the ocean, this is not the place for you -- you are much more likely to hear a dance remix."

"Beautiful setting. Restaurant has excellent staff and food!"

"Everything was great. Food, surf, yoga, massage all excellent"

"Great family room in an hostel. Private bathroom was great. Got what I paid for and expected. "

"Traveling with family - total 4. We got a building in front of reception with 2 rooms and a few other rooms - large space. The toilets and showers were interesting, 3-4 of each like a gym. Location is within the walled city and great. Only remember you need to carry your luggage from the wall perimeter to the hotel which is about a 10 min haul."
