Set in a Mediterranean pinewood facing the Atlantic, this design hotel offers accommodation with massage facilities. It features an outdoor pool and has direct access to a beach only 400 metres away.

Rooms at Aqua Pedra Dos Bicos have a modern and functional outlook and all open out onto private balconies. There is a TV with cable channels and en suite bathrooms equipped with hairdryer. Free WiFi is provided.

The location is close to the beach, the strip, and many restaurants and bars. But calm at the same time! Great swimming pool. The staff was nice and helpful! Got a bottle of sparkling wine for my wife's birthday which was a nice touch. Breakfast is pretty good - it gets a bit repetitive after 8 days but I guess that's normal. It is a hotel to come back to for sure!

    Access to the beach at Galé is just a three minute walk. The owner is marvelously helpful and accessible. Our flight was late, delaying our check-in but this did not create any issue. The weekly cleaning service is meticulous. The apartment is stylishly furnished by the owner who is an interior designer.
