Set on the spectacular Praia das Chaves beach, arguably the best on the archipelago, this hotel is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The Parque das Dunas is a complex of simply furnished bungalow style rooms set amongst tropical gardens with direct access to the beach. The large swimming pool sits in the lush gardens adjacent to the beach with ample sun loungers and palm trees offering shade around the pool.
The hotel has a small bar and informal restaurant with the choice of dining inside or out, the latter enabling guests to enjoy the sounds of the ocean in this superb setting.
This friendly hotel really is the place to relax, unwind and soak up the ambience beside the 12km powdery white sand beach where free sun loungers and parasols are available. There is a shuttle bus to nearby Sal Rei as there are no faclities outside the hotel.
Our opinion: A relaxed small and friendly hotel in a superb location on one of the best beaches in the archipelago.
