Sheets were clean but floor in room felt gritty if you walked in bare feet like it isn’t well cleaned between guests. A few stains on balcony door and glass on windows and shower very spotty/ The hallway carpets also had hair clumps that never got vacuumed during our stay so not sure how attentive they are to cleaning. People were friendly and food was good. View of ocean was nice but land between hotel and ocean run down.

This hotel is in an amazing location to enjoy the beach, or to enjoy the gorgeous pool and patio overlooking the beach. Wonderful beach and boardwalk walking, good restaurant on site and others that are walkable. The indoor pool and spa area are large and clean and lovely as well.

The outdoor pool was very nice, with a great beachfront view. Unfortunately, other aspects were disappointing. The sauna is far too small – with just three people inside it already feels crowded. Towel handling in the spa area is poorly organized: you only get one towel at reception and are expected to use it for everything. Breakfast was good, but service was lacking. We sat on the terrace, where tables were not cleaned between guests and often remained cluttered, despite plenty of staff around. For vegetarians, options were limited; some cream cheese or a savory spread would have been a welcome addition. Our room was extremely hot when we arrived. Although there was air conditioning, we were given only one key card, so the AC turned off whenever we left. We had to request a second card at reception – something they should provide automatically. When we asked if a twin room was available, we were offered two small blankets instead. What we received were just the separate parts (blankets and covers), as if we were meant to make up the bed ourselves. Since a large blanket was already on the bed, we used that instead. For a €400 room, this felt inappropriate. Overall, the location and pool were strong points, but the service and facilities did not match the price.

While I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, I can’t give it more than a three star rating for the following reasons. The food is substandard. Lots of choice at the breakfast but the quality is very inconsistent. One day kiwis were on the buffet. They were hard as a rock and inedible. Some days the pineapple was very good, other days, not so good. I found the cold cuts to be inedible. The lettuce was wilted. The pastry was terrible. The oven baked eggs were a savior. We tried the hotel once for dinner and it did not earn a return visit. I ordered shrimp to start and then pulvo (octopus). Very average. We found mom and pop places all over the island to eat that were cheap and very good. The plastic loungers at the pool were uncomfortable. With regard to the ocean views from the hotel, they are somewhat compromised because the hotel doesn’t clean the windows frequently enough to keep them clear. I understand that the wind, sand, and salt from the ocean can quickly soil the windows. That’s not an excuse. Finally, the gym is located next to the indoor pool. There can be a massive condensation problem in the gym which creates a very hazardous floor. The door to the gym needs to be kept closed and the AC needs to be set on high. This is an accident waiting to happen. In sum, it’s a nice hotel but definitely not luxury.

All staff was incredible and greeted me in Portuguese while other hotels greet you in English. I go for the culture not to feel like I never left my country, so keep it up folks. A shout out to Fabiana, Ruben #1 and Ruben #2, Andre, Paulo, Pedro and Alexander. Its the people that make us feel at home and this team made our stay incredible. Verde Mar is my #1 location moving forward and I have been to the island 14 times. Great location and walkable city. Restaurant offers amazing food and wine selection. Breakfast buffet is on point. Pool with food service is great as well. The fact one can walk down a path to a big beach is a bonus. Rooms are spacious and well stocked. I actually have no complaints and simply loved this spot.
