Features
What to expect: Although families come in summer, the hotel primarily appeals to couples seeking a combination beach/small town holiday within strolling distance of ocean, shopping, and dining. The hotel comprises just 54 guestrooms but offers dozens of overstuffed chairs in the lobby for socializing and quiet reading. Amenity highlights: Set in a sunny, second-story terrace and flanked by the hotel and an apartment house, a 50-by-35-foot (15-by-11-meter) heated pool provides year-round swimming. From the hotel's entrance, guests walk across the town's plaza to a 70-yard (65-meter) beach of clean, coarse sand lapped by the Atlantic Ocean between tawny cliffs. Insider tip: Located five km (three miles) from the hotel and accessible by public bus as well as rental cars, bicycles, and motor scooters, Marinha Beach is one of six government-designated Golden Beaches in Portugal, singled out because of their purity and beauty. Marinha Beach is further distinguished by towering, tawny cliffs that lend the area a wild aura unmarred by human development.
