Great comfy friendly hotel.

This is a really friendly clean and comfortable hotel with great staff. The pool and sunshade area with the snack bar was really well maintained. A lovely surprise in reception! We also took the very reasonable boat trip they organised and it was well worth it. It has everything for a stay in beautiful Mértola.

It was a picturesque town. Very good restaurants, a few places to visit. One day was enough to visit all tourist spots. The pool was indeed to small. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Room was spotless, very clean especially so close to the river and not a bug or mosquito in site.
