Hotel Parque das Dunas
Room and breakfast or Half Board Arrival: Any day for any duration (Minimum stay 7 nights 19th December to 8th January)

A very friendly, small hotel in a superb setting right on the magnificent Chaves Beach - arguably the most impressive beach in the archipelago. Parque das Dunas has a casual, relaxed atmosphere and represents very good value for money.

There is an excellent restaurant and bar, and most meals are taken al fresco. In the garden there is a large, attractive pool with ample sun beds, shade and free towels, and there are similar facilities on the beach.

Prices are £ per person based on 2 adults sharing a standard room.

Rooms & Views

Each of the 90 bungalow-style rooms is modestly furnished with twin or double beds, a shower, mini-fridge (not stocked), ceiling fan and a terrace with table, chairs and sun bed. Each leads directly to the beach and faces the ocean, and most have an ocean view, which may be partially obscured by tropical plants.
