Hi. We were surprised to hear you comment as we received you all here like we received everybody, and nobody complained about our staff, we are friendly, and always wiling to help. If we knew you had a problem you would have help, but the time you were here you did not complained about anything, actually a friend of yours that came with you stayed here more 5 days after you guys left and he had nothing to complain about. I am not saying that Sereia do mar is perfect but we certain try the best we can to make the guests feel like there were at home. We apologize for any inconvenient. regards, Sereia do mar.

Awesome place. Stayed in a private room, there was really nothing to complain about. They have an awesome Bar/Restaurant and the (very nice!!!!) beach is directly across the street, there are also a few cool beach bars. Nice breakfast. Very very friendly and helpful staff. The only thing that might be slightly imperfect is that it's located about 15 minutes away from the actual city centre. That's no problem at all though, we _always_ managed to stop cars (at day and nighttime likewise).

Stayed in a double without en suite for 2 nights which was amazing and spacious, got moved into a double with ensuite which was really small and damp. First room was very clean. Good beach location if you don't mind 15 minute walk into town. Liked the free kayaks and entertainment in the evenings. All you can eat pizza is a must, bar is really cheap. Staff are amazing, speak very good english!

My review could be a bit too bad for the place, due to the problem of little ppl staying there bcs of low season. Anyway, the place at the sea side is good, if u wanna go to the historic center u ll have a 15-20 minutes walk. Their promises: - Free Pick Up: could not be done when arriving in the night, got a free transfer to the terminal instead - Free Kayak and free internet: only the first 30 minutes. The info text seems to be written by someone that knows marketing well.
