Aperitivo's Theatre Group - Bah! Humbug!

APERITIVO’S THEATRE GROUP
Presents

Bah! Humbug!

“I have a dream!”

Three, in fact

– as miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is forced to reflect on his Past, face the Present and consider his Future options in this frivolous – and at times darkly humorous version of Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol.

The play is set in the drear days of the 1930s depression, but there is nothing dreary about the three – no! four spirits (because the Future can go at least two ways. . .). indeed, a Tree of Life motif links Past, Present and Future and results in some startling costumes.

Wednesday 15th December 2010
7.00 for 7.30 pm
3 Course Indian Dinner with Wine and Coffee
30,00 Euros per person

CHURCHILL - The Musical

We are very pleased to be one of the sponsors of CHURCHILL - The Musical which is taking place in Lagoa this week. Some of the cast and production team are staying with us, and we took the opportunity to photograph them on the terrace.

Trip Advisor - Relax in a good hotel, in a good location.”

"The hotels location is excellent, right beside the sandy beach.

The double room we had was perfectly adequate in size and very clean. Would recommend asking for a seaview room, it's a great view! Maid service was good overall, they did omit to replace the tea / coffee on two occasions.

The whole hotel is very clean, bright and well run. Polite, friendly and professional staff. The food in the restaurant was excellent, yes the emphasise is on fish dishes but there are several other choices. Tables are not too close either, unlike some hotels.

The main lounge area is very pleasant, with views over the pool and beach. Re evening entertainment, the only off putting thing is having two, large screen tv's in the room; one is right beside the keyboard player / singers position and frequently they were watching the 'footy' while performing!

Pool area is small but very nice, didn't have any problem getting a sunbed and there are free towels, a nice touch. Like the free room fridge.

Nearby bars /restaurants are an easy 10 minute walk along the pedestrianised prom area, with plenty of choice. The beach bar beside the hotel is excellent for a snack lunch.

Overall for a relaxing holiday in a very good hotel, located in a great beach setting this place is hard to beat.
