Acores Atlantico

Don’t book here coming from the US on an early morning flight. Checking is 3PM and they are very slow getting rooms ready.

Stayed in a triple room as a family of 3. The room had all the amenities you would expect, plus the daily bottle of water and Nespresso machine, which were very welcome. However, the room was far too small for 3 people and felt very cramped. There was no balcony and hardly any storage space, so could not properly unpack and we were constantly tripping over bags and cases. We were looking forward to the nightly turndown service with a chocolate left on our pillow, but did not receive anything for the first 5 nights of a 7 night stay, as the hotel had run out. Although not a major issue, it was, however, a disappointment. The bathroom was also small with no space to put things down, but the shower was very good and powerful. Breakfast was very good. We especially enjoyed the breads and smoked salmon, but the buffet lacked variety of certain items. All staff members were very helpful and friendly and the hotel is in a good position, in walking distance of many restaurants. Overall a pleasant stay, but the room was not 5* standard.

What will primarily stay in our memory about this hotel is the good service and the friendliness of the staff. This applies to all areas, from the doorman to the reception, room service, and the restaurants. We had an ocean view room on the fifth floor, which was well-equipped, and from the balcony, we had a complete view of the seafront. However, the furnishings are somewhat dated and it should be renovated soon. At night, which is not the hotel's fault, it was quite loud on the seaside promenade. Drunken passersby and modified motorcycles and ATVs were also out and about at 2:00 AM. Still recommendable!
