Praia Da Lota Resort - Apartments

“Good winter long stay”

We have been very pleased with these apartments. We have a ground floor apartment which doesn't have a scenic view, but that is compensated by the fact that it gets the maximum amount of the winter sun and we can keep an eye on our car.

We have been very pleased with these apartments. We have a ground floor apartment which doesn't have a scenic view, but that is compensated by the fact that it gets the maximum amount of the winter sun and we can keep an eye on our car. The apartment is well appointed with an adequate quantity of cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery. There is television with two English channels. The cleaning is done regularly and bed linen and towels changed often. The apartment is more than adequately heated. You also get use of the hotel facilities, the pool, in use, although not heated, wifi in the hotels public rooms, cycle hire, breakfast and dinner available and access to the beach. The staff speak English and are very helpful. Your own transport is an advantage, because the resort is not close to public transport. I would recommend.

“Pleasant stay”

Very pleasant, short walk to beautiful beach and to small town. Buffet breakfast was excellent but too expensive, no coffee machine in the apartments, why not? Apartment great value in winter but not in summer perhaps. Service in reception variable.

“Lovely outside, tired inside”

We booked a month's stay requesting ground floor after surgery. We got second floor facing the parking lot.

We booked a month's stay requesting ground floor after surgery. We got second floor facing the parking lot. We asked for a move, which happened after our first week but it was still many steps both from the parking lot and the patio. Furniture was Ikea style but dated. Four chairs and a table and a pull out daybed as a couch. No armchairs - one side table- lightbulbs missing from overhead lights, even from the light at the front of the hotel announcing the name. We had to purchase coat hangers, pot scrubbers, kleenex for rooms. Lamp shades in bedroom and curtains in kitchen stained. TV was from the 80"s with only 3 working channels - one which broke up consistently - WiFi available only in reception area or by the pool. Beds were made regularly and towels replaced but little cleaning was done - If you dropped a piece of clothing it came up very dusty. White socks were black by the end of the day if you took off your shoes. Kitchen supplies were sketchy - obviously no inventory was every taken - no oven, no teaspoons or wineglasses, nothing was a full set or matched. Restaurant closed after breakfast and reopened at 6:30. The Snack Bar by the pool was closed for the season. Staff were friendly and very helpful but we got tired of asking for the basics everyday.
