Aqua Pedra Dos Bicos Design Beach Hotel

"My husband & I recently had a weeks stay at this hotel along with 8 friends. The hotel is in a great location, close to shops, bars & restaurants. The hotel was spotlessly clean, including our room, the pool area & all the public areas. The staff were amazing, very friendly, helpful & professional, some of the best hotel staff we have ever met. Pool area was lovely, plenty of sunbeds at any time so no queuing. We were bed & breakfast and there were plenty of options, whatever you wanted & the buffet was constantly being refreshed. It was also great to have a safe in the room plus 2 pool towels which you didnt have to pay extra for (unusual these days & very much appreciated). Unfortunately, there were some down sides and that was the complete lack of storage in our room, no cupboards, not enough shelving. There wasn't a wardrobe in the room, just a hanging rail which was too high for me (Im only little), when I did manage to hang my dresses, the hanging space led down to a shelf but the hanging space was too short so the bottom of my dresses curled over & got creased. The only other shelf in the room was a very small one under the safe & that was it, there was one small drawer but again nowhere big enough for 2 people, we ended up having leave stuff on top of cases, under the TV etc. There wasn't any bedside storage, just a round table where you could put a couple of items on top, bedside units would have been ideal & would have provided some storage. If you could rectify the storage issues it would be 100% perfect stay."

"Lovely stay from start to finish, all staff polite and welcoming. The whole hotel and grounds are kept clean and tidy, plenty of sun beds. Ideally situated away from the centre but close enough to walk in, and only 10 mins from the nearest beach. Would stay again if back in the area and recommend to others. I would say it maybe a little too quiet for some, but it was perfect for us."

""Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. From the warm welcome at the front desk to a quick and smooth check-out, the service was consistently friendly and professional. Our room was spotless, exceptionally comfortable bed that made it easy to relax. Housekeeping kept everything pristine throughout our visit. The breakfast buffet had an amazing selection, and the location was ideal for walking to nearby local attractions and restaurants. We cannot wait to return for another visit!""
