Dom Jose Beach Hotel

Dom Jose Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A great all round stay. The staff are lovely and all talk English. The room was clean and the air conditioning helped it stay cool. I spent most of the time by the pool but it looks out over the beach. They have their own bit of beach where you can hire towels and beds for the day."

"Highlights - Excellent breakfast, piano player creates great ambiance - 15 parking spaces directly at hotel, unlimited parking at back of the Marina - ask hotel for details - 15 min speedboat ride to the beach; Captain slowed down to film/take pictures of wild life - Location excellent - Room and balcony with marina view highly recommended - Staff arranged a surprise gift for my partner's birthday Lowlights - Shower screen not long enough - bathroom floor gets wet - Pillows to thin (personal preference) - very little space to store bathroom toiletries"

Aquashow Park Hotel

Aquashow Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This place was great. The staff were super friendly. The Hotel was perfect location to reach everything we wanted to reach. We had a rental car which opened us to explore what the local scene had to offer. Beaches, Night markets, Supermarkets, Late night local Ice creams shops, Festivals, the lot! Underground parking was excellent at keeping the car cool. Rental towels (10 euro Cash deposit each) were very convenient as we were travelling very light. The Aqua Park was great fun. Be sure to check your child's height. 140cm + gets you full access to everything. Sub 120cm excludes some of the rollercoasters and big slides. Sub 110cm excludes a lot of the slides. Only a few Kiddy slides left to explore. A quick 5 min walk to the park. Wrist bands get you straight it. You will have to leave your stuff unattended if you plan on moving around the park as a family. Or you can rent a locker for 10euro per day. But everyone leaves their stuff on the grassed area and there seems to be a level of trust amongst everyone. We left our towels, phones and flip flops and never had anything missing."

"A great experience except when checking out. I had paid my bill the evening before and when leaving the keys back on the next morning was made to feel like I was trying to escape without paying by the nighttime reception person I had to find my payment details from evening before to prove payment. Surely this should have been noted on the computer. It left a very poor impression on what had been an excellent trip"
