Granja Beach Tours and Activities

We loved our stay here. The hotel is located right off the designer shopping district. We had a short walk from the metro( albeit uphill ) to the hotel. We had a spacious suite with a view of the city. Its a leisurely 15m walk to the city center where restaurants and shopping abound. This week-long trip coincided with my wife's birthday The day of her birthday we planned to get a bottle of wine on our walk back to the hotel, but the stores were closed. Imagine our surprise when, upon returning to our room, we found waiting for us champagne on ice, sparkling water, and something under a silver platter, which I declined to tamper with. I called the front desk to inform them of the apparent mistake, only to find out they research which guests will be experiencing a birthday during their stay, and send them a surprise! I now felt safe to uncover the dish (red velvet layer cake) and opened the envelope recognizing my wife's birthday, and thanking us for choosing their hotel. Best stay ever!

We had a good stay, the reception staff are very welcoming and friendly. Room was clean and there was plenty of spare towels, pillows etc. We went on half board basis. Although there was plenty of food, it lacked taste. Buffet menu needs to improve, especially the hot food for vegetarians. Very insipid. Also we felt cheated because we asked for tap water at dinner and got charged for it! The head waiter takes the order for drinks and we felt it was his duty to inform customers that they charge even for tap water! It is ironical that they give free prosecco and at breakfast, but charge for water at dinner!! Customers can make an informed decision about ordering water if the hotel can make them aware of their charges. Overall, the staff are hard working and try very hard to do their best. Not a bad place to stay but be prepared to pay for your water at dinner!

The breakfast buffet was exceptional. Dinner was okay. The front desk was very nice specially Diogo. However the facility is a bit dated. Overall a nice stay and conveniently close to the cruise port.
