Pousada Villa Mares Sao Pedro da Aldeia
A pretty place close to the beach. Several lovely beaches nearby. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful. The included breakfast was delicious and varied. I heartily recommend this place for any travelers.

Pousada Pratagy
Para chegar no quarto tinha 3 lances de escada, o chuveiro quase não saia água, café da manhã ruim, sem variedade, quando acabavam os itens não eram repostos, para quem fosse tomar o café um pouco mais tarde, não tinha nem água para beber. A piscina estava muito suja, com a água turva.
