Our stay at the Torre del Mar was nothing but pleasant! We stayed for 5 days on the period just after Carnival on a simple but cozy suite on the first floor with a wonderful view to the pousada's internal garden with a lovely pound full of carp and fruits for the nice birds.
PRO'S: Very friendly staff; wonderfully localized and yet far from traffic noises; close to shops, boat trips providers and restaurants; great breakfast with a daily wide range of fresh home-made breads and cakes; wi-fi, airco, fan and frigo in the rooms; swimming pool and terrace available until 10pm.
CONTRA'S: Although the rooms are very functional and equipped with an extra single bed besides the double bed, this last one happens to be a bit small, so that my husband slept with his feet out of the bed; Sound isolation with regard to the corridor area and the bedrooms is also a point to be improved (the place makes their effort by placing reminders for the guests to keep silence in the area, what unfortunately is not enough), although it doesn't represent a big issue.
Besides those minor points to be improved we TOTALLY recommend Torre del Mar and we'll surely come back!
