Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Atlantida Sol

With a sloping exterior designed to maximize stunning sea views, this sandcastle-shaped hotel also impresses with modern amenities, private balconies, and a beachside location just a mile from the center of town. The facilities are impressive, including both indoor and outdoor pools, whirlpool tubs, and tennis courts. Rooms have polished wood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in lots of light. The restaurant serves sound international and Portuguese cuisine, including pasta and a good selection of meat and fish dishes; there is also a small bar.
