Surf Olas Altas

Very good service and the proximity to places of interest greatly enhances the travel experience along with the food.

I used my visa avion to book through points. Good prices. Check in was easy. Front desk staff very pleasant. The rooms are very nice. Extremely comfortable beds. Air conditioning top notch. Nice showers. Clean room. The one drawback, no mini fridge for the room we stayed in. They have them, just not our room, ask for a room with one. It really should be standard with a fridge in all rooms. Elevator a/c didn’t really work. Two floors, no big deal. Some construction happening. They also had no access ribbon posted up around both pools, so confusing if we could actually go for a swim. The other thing, being on the main road in Zicatela, the music from the boom-boom bars. I wore my earplugs, so no issue, my friend, not so lucky. Restaurant had good food, slow service.

This is a clean and very well located hotel. It’s not fancy, but they clean the rooms really well every day and the beds were very comfortable. We did have to go to a different room because the shower sprayed all over and was unusable in our first room. The second room the shower was much better, hot water was somewhat unreliable, but manageable. The sink faucet was very loose and we were worried it might fall off before we left, so it needs upgrades. However, the staff was always kind and accommodating, the pool was nice, and their location can’t be beat. The restaurant was very underwhelming. We only tried it once and I didn’t want to go back. Although that was for dinner, maybe breakfast is better? While the location is great, it is also near the local loud nightclubs. So there were some nights where Music blasted very late, but I was able to just put earbuds in and sleep through it. And yes, our key card did stop working once, but there was always somebody at the desk to help us. To me it was worth these minor inconveniences to have a comfortable bed, a clean room, kind and attentive staff and such a great location.
