Bom mas com hipótese de melhoria

Um bom hotel. Com uma equipa de animação excelente, sempre com actividades para crianças e adultos. A limpeza dos quartos também foi boa. O que menos nos agradou foi a pouquíssima variedade de lanche entre refeições, onde o lanche é a base de cachorros e hamburgueres e uns pequenos bolos de sobra do pequeno almoço, nada destas coisas são adequadas a crianças mais pequenas, que era o meu caso. Sou apologista do não desperdício alimentar, mas a meio da semana ja estávamos cansados de ver saladas e massas com a comida do dia anterior, chega a uma fase da semana que já não consigo encontrar pratos "frescos". Acho que podem reutilizar mas pelo menos numa das zonas (criança, grelhados ou balcão central) ter sempre comida completamente fresca sem ser uma carne picada ou uma receita com o peixe/carne do dia anterior. Dar opçao de escolha as pessoas. O transporte para a praia é uma excelente vantagem do hotel, contudo sugiro uns tickets de ordem ou inscrição para transporte para a camioneta, certos turistas gostam de ignorar os hóspedes que aguardam educadamente a camioneta e passam a frente e quando abordados fazem de conta que não entendem e continuam, claro está que o motorista não tem possibilidade de controlar estas situaçoes, logouma inscrição resolveria o problema. Na globalidade gostei do hotel deixo apenas sugestões de melhoria.

OK hotel; room for improvement

Hotel is nice enough, but experience could be greatly improved. Slow to check-in (crazy this still takes so long now and manual these days). Very slow to cancel pre-authorisation (funds held) for safety deposit. Evening staff did not deal with reported noise and disturbance issues at the hotel.
