a lover's seaside escape

ocean viewpool areagenerous breakfast
The position above the atlantic ocean was marvelous, with two open-air pool areas beckoning us. i adored watching children play in the pool from the balcony. Their laughter was a melody to my heart. breakfast displayed a generous choice. the hotel offered a marina to the left and the lido area to the right, both within a short, romantic stroll.
the hotel is aging, and i noticed that the towels seemed slightly worn.

i found the hotel had two indoor pools and two outdoor pools! direct access to the sea was available. several indoor lounges and outdoor terraces provided ample space to relax. the breakfast featured a vast, changing menu with outdoor seating, just fabulous. i really liked the themed madeira night with local food and drinks.
the coffee machines were not ideal, and i did not like the coffee very much!
