This is very cute and tranquil holiday spot. We had a great time enjoying the pool, taking trails. The room was spacious, clean and nice with a gorgeous view. I can see how some facilities could be updated, but it didn’t affected our stay, we loved the place.

Overall the hotel was good , but some of the facilities need updating for example the spa. I didn't stay for dinner but the breakfast was average and I would recommend upgrading to barista coffee which is available for a Euro

Top Aussicht, ruhig, Servicepersonal überfordert

+ Erholsame Unterkunft mit Top Aussicht. Bei einem 4-Sternehotel hätte ich aber einen Kühlschrank im Zimmer erwartet. - Vermutlich wurde das Personal im Service nicht richtig geschult. Zum Teil völlig überfordert mit Sprache und mit der Kasse. Auf Anfrage ob Ginja der traditionelle Likör aus Portugal ist wussten sie das nicht. Auch ist das Personal im Service sehr träge und das Frühstück war nicht rechtzeitig auf dem Buffet.

Not sure what to say? I think it is a good 3 star hotel, not 4star at all. It is really 80's and dated and in desperate need of a refresh. I mean the view is spectacular, and they have parking. It smells like a local swimming baths of chlorine and the rooms smell of drains - the breakfast is minimum and the rooms are basic.

Lovely stay with incredible views

Prior to my stay i was a little concerned about reviews (as i found it was of mixed opinion) and the photos, being a little dated. However we picked the hotel as it was convenient visiting my family. However, the hotel surprised me, it was clean, warm, and whilst a little dated from what we are used to, was absolutely fine, and its character just added to its charm! Breakfast was absolutely fine, our kids loved it. We had an evening meal there too and that was lovely. Staff were friendly. Oh and the view from our panoramic room was incredible! We will definitely be coming back again in the summer so we can make use of the outdoor pool!

Péssimo atendimento no Restaurante

Adorei a experiência, o hotel é extraordinário, preço muito acessível tendo em conta os serviços que oferece. No entanto, a nossa experiência no serviço do restaurante/ bar do hotel já não foi tão boa e aproveito para denunciar tal acontecimento. Fomos para o restaurante por volta das 20h30 para jantar, quando um dos empregados de mesa (Paulo Costa) se dirigiu a nós dizendo que as mesas estavam todas reservadas. Eu e o meu namorado não nos mostramos preocupados e pedimos outra sugestão (sugestão essa que não nos foi dada), até que chegamos à conclusão que poderíamos pedir tostas mistas. O atendimento foi péssimo, sem qualquer simpatia. Quando nos dirigimos ao balcão para pagar, a pessoa que nos atendeu (Chefe de Sala) disse-nos que as mesas não estavam reservadas, nem perto disso. Ora, na minha visão, este foi um caso GRAVE de xenofobia, sendo que o meu namorado é Brasileiro, penso que a única hipótese para que o senhor não nos quisesse atender dizendo que tinha as mesas reservadas. Considero uma situação lamentável, tanto para nós como para o hotel. Sem falar no prejuízo que situações destas causam. No geral, o atendimento no restaurante não é bom, não há simpatia, e faz com que não nos sintamos confortáveis. Um hotel tão bom não é compatível com um atendimento tão leviano. Aguardo resposta Com os melhores cumprimentos Inês Macara
