Room types

O Encontro offers four private room options for up to two people, as well as two types of bed in a mixed shared dormitory, each for one person. Private rooms have their own bathroom and a kitchen or kitchenette; you can choose between two single beds or a double bed. Two rooms with single beds have sea views, one of which is in the Deluxe category. Another room with two single beds has a balcony, while the Deluxe room with a double bed offers a different layout.

The shared beds are single bunks and come with access to a kitchen and terrace. Among the private rooms, terraces are listed as a shared feature, with sea views in the two relevant options. Bed linen is listed among the amenities for one of the bunk options. No floor areas are listed for these options; maximum occupancy, however, clearly distinguishes the private rooms from the individual beds in the shared dormitory.
