Charming Residence and Guest House Dom Manuel is a pretty property. There are no lifts, so you will have to carry your luggage up the stairs. The rooms are very comfortable and the amenities are complete. Just opposite the hotel is a self-service laundromat. And just 2-3 mins up the road, is a Chinese restaurant that serves delicious food. The walk into the old city takes about 10-15 mins. Car parking off the street is limited but after work hours, there were free car park spaces further down the road.
Very beautiful resort, right by the Atlantic Ocean with direct access to coastal boardwalk. Amazing and very relaxing.
One bedroom apartment was very spacious and well equipped. There were total of 3 pools including spa pool. Breakfast was a good spread although same things were served 2 days in a row during my stay.
The only slighr downside is there was construction going on next door during my stay. Not the most pleasant and can be slightly noisy.
The hotel was located really conveniently near Old Town, the bus station, and the beaches. We booked a room with 2 beds as listed by Trip but were given a room with only 1 bed and the front desk said it was actually based on availability, but there was no mention of this on Trip. If you have specific requests regarding number of beds make sure to write it in your special requests. Thankfully they were able to accommodate our request in the end. The pool is nice but I wouldn't recommend ordering food by the pool, overpriced for what you receive - the drinks were fine though. Otherwise the stay was good and no issues!
Amazing value! Breakfast was great, and the sweet rice pudding was the best I have ever tasted. Room and bathroom in excellent condition, quiet and comfortable (I am in off season tho). Staff were friendly and helpful, and info is also provided in room. Was not sure at first because it is on the top of a hill so a climb to get to from town, but still only a 10 min walk and 5 mins walk from the cliffs for spectacular sunrises. Also a large free carpark opposite.
