Pousada de Coloane Boutique Hotel

Overall, it was a good stay. I spent two nights here. The breakfast was a bit simple, but the ingredients and taste were fine. The room was quite spacious. This hotel opened in 1977, so the decor shows a bit of its age. The towels in the room were quite old. While an old hotel doesn't necessarily mean it's run-down, more attention could be paid to the details. It's right next to Cheoc Van Beach, which is cleaner and better managed compared to Hac Sa Beach.

The environment is nice, although the room is a bit dated. Especially at night, you can clearly hear the sound of the waves 🌊. The trees 🌲 are very tall, blocking the sea view. Service: The restaurant hours are from 12:00 to 22:00, with breakfast ending at 10:00. As you can see, the hotel restaurant has high ratings, starting with breakfast. The decor, as shown in the picture, is quite interesting. Cleanliness: When it rains 🌧, water leaks into the room. Many fixtures are old, especially the very old aluminum alloy door and window partitions. The air conditioning works great, but it's actually very energy-intensive. There are some cleanliness issues to note, with mold spots all over the room. Plenty of information can be found online. Facilities: The room is small and irregularly shaped, but it has a balcony facing the sea.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel, and while we liked everything else, the cleaning was subpar. The floors weren't washed, there was dust everywhere, and the bedding was only changed twice in 10 days. The linens had unwashed stains, the towels were threadbare, and the bathrobes were ripped – it was a nightmare.

First, the good points: the restaurant is a must-try, definitely worth traveling for. The food and ambiance are both excellent. Then there's the swimming pool, which was uncrowded and even had floats available. The worst part of my stay was the sleeping conditions and the noise.

My stay was short, but I fully relaxed and enjoyed the Brazilian-themed breakfast buffet, the natural scenery around the pool, and a refreshing swim. The pool water was clean and clear; it felt like the hotel had thoroughly cleaned it for guests after the Dragon Boat Festival's 'dragon boat water' (referring to heavy rains). A strong sense of nostalgia.

We really enjoyed this hotel. It's in a beautiful, quiet location right by the sea and easy to get to. They have a pool and a restaurant with delicious food. The rooms aren't super new, but they are clean and have a nice atmosphere. We loved it.
