Cerro da Marina

Nice quiet hotel with own pool, in area with mainly private appartments houses. Ten to fifteen minute walk to city center, if you don't feel like walking taxi costs about 5 euro's.

The staff were excellent, very friendly and helped us with everything that we needed. We received a bottle of bubbly on our first night for booking online and were generally very well looked after. The hotel was in a really good location for us, in a quieter part of town and with a very good view of the ocean.

I don't remember seeing anywhere that the hotel was at the top of a bit hill. This wasn't a problem for us and we were actually very happy to be a bit further away from the centre of town and the location provided excellent views and some exercise. I can imagine that the location may be difficult for families or for people less able to make the walk from town.

The room was quite and calm, with friendly mediteran style furnitures. Outside beautifull pool garden and view on the ocean. The beach and city center are 8-15 minutes walk, no matter. I can just offer everybody who want to avoide mass turism. Really nice hotel.
