Fodor's Expert Review Torre Praia Hotel

A five-minute walk from the center of town, this low-slung beach hotel is built around an old stone watchtower that now holds one of the hotel's two restaurants. The rooms are spacious, with those on the upper floor offering views of the ocean through wide windows. Along with the sparkling outdoor pool, the hotel also has a sauna, hot tub, squash court, and fitness center.
