Breakfast
The Apart Hotel Porto Príncipe provides guests with the opportunity to prepare their own meals thanks to its well-equipped kitchens.

While the lack of a provided breakfast might be a downside for those who prefer hotel-served meals, the ability to cook offers flexibility and a homely feel.
