Hotel 3 Bintang di Mértola

We received a warm welcome on arrival at the hotel. Receptionist spoke English and offered us drinks which was lovely with the bar overlooking the river. The pool was open which was ideal because we had found many hotel pools closed in April. The pool wasn't heated but was warm enough being sited in the sun. Room wasn't big but had a lovely view of the river and a balcony to sit on. Breakfast was good.

We spent four nights in this hotel during our birding tour. Our room was clean and well-maintained, the bed was comfortable, with enough good pillows to keep my happy, and there was wifi. However, the room was small, and there were only two very small bed stands and one small, narrow table on which we could put things. There were some drawers in the closet, but only a few coat hangers which were insufficient for two people spending four nights. We had to ask three times before we were given some additional ones. The bathroom was our biggest problem. For some reason, we were given a handicapped room, which we didn't need. The toilet was high enough that my feet could barely reach the floor. The sink was not set in a counter, so there was no place to put our toilet articles, and we had to use the plastic seat which was intended to be used in the shower for a shelf. The shower was the worst part. The walls could be folded and were not securely fastened to the base, so if you leaned on them, they could collapse, and they leaked water onto the floor outside. The stall was small enough that while washing, you could inadvertently hit the faucet handle and turn the water off. I can't say I ever enjoyed a shower during our stay. On the plus side, there was a very nice breakfast buffet which was served in an adjoining building.
