We stayed at the Hotel Luar for six nights in early May. Although the hotel is located on a busy road, it is excellently situated for the beautiful beaches of Praia da Rocha, and is in a quiet area away from the busy resort centre. The design of the hotel is somewhat strange as there are very few rooms with direct sea views despite the proximity of the hotel to the coastline. Nonetheless, our room on the front of the hotel overlooking the road was spacious and simply finished, and had a balcony to catch the morning sun. The hotel is a bit dated but is well maintained and clean throughout. The breakfast, as others have commented, is not the best, but is adequate to set you up for the day. There is a nice pool area with sun loungers and a snack bar. The back gate takes you directly to the broad walk - turn left and walk a couple of minutes to find a good selection of restaurants and a few minutes further on, you are in the resort centre. Alternatively, take the steps down to the beach or turn right and walk for about 10 minutes to reach Vau. I would recommend the Hotel Luar to anyone seeking simple good value accommodation in a good location.
