Reasonable hotel, we found a very good price here on Trip.
Positive points: Smells good, welcome drink of Port wine at reception, some nice details, as you would expect in a 4-star hotel. Good cleaning and room service. Good rooms and breakfast. Underground parking.
Negative points:
We didn't like the service and the reception staff.
We didn't have SPA robes in the room. It was a challenge to obtain, we were only given 2 for 4 people, and we had to ask for another 2 the next day. Unforgiven.
The SPA area was very weak, the Turkish bath didn't work, the indoor pool was old and the decor was outdated.
It was a special date, we made that clear several times and there was not a single attention from the hotel to the birthday people, not even a birthday candle, absolutely nothing. We would have to pay €30 to have our room decorated with sparkling wine. Because without paying, the hotel will not come forward with anything. It's a small hotel, we expected more customer attention.
Very quiet hotel. Despite the magnificent building, all the staff are very close to the guests and care about their happiness. This time I stayed in a superior room with large windows. The area and direct light of the toilet are all you like. The restaurant offers a balanced buffet, exquisite breakfast and everything you want. Restaurant service and decent breakfast. The reception staff have excellent professionalism and a very friendly attitude. I recommend
Very satisfied, I had a good rest last night! In the morning, I walked out of the balcony to see the blue sky and the sea. I could almost see the other end of the sea on the American coast. There was also the first rainbow in 2024. I was full of hope and confidence in the future. !
Fabulous. Impeccable service and staff, spa with very good heated pool. Sauna and jacuzzi included in the spa. The spa was free for guests to enter. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant and the chef deserves a Michelin star at the very least. It was simply divine. The breakfast was also very good. What an unforgettable experience, we felt as if we had enjoyed first class service in the 1920s. The whole atmosphere makes the guest feel like they are traveling back in time with all the luxury. The rooms are modern and comfortable. I've been to many guesthouses, but I've never been to a place like this that met all the requirements and gave that feeling of lost luxury. A jewel to (re)discover. The best historic hotel in Portugal. I will definitely be back very soon as there is no other palace hotel or guesthouse that comes close to this one.
The rooms are very spacious in size, with the charm of the 80s. Unfortunately, the sheets are not the three-star hotel you expect. I lay on a pillow in my juice and woke up with a pain in my neck the next morning.
I don't know why there are still hotels with bathtubs and shower curtains, absolutely not.
Of course, due to the current situation (CORONA), the service is limited, but breakfast can be resolved anyway.

reception sympathy
availability of gym
access to the pool by the hall of the hotel and through the bar
small lunch - only 1 variety of cheese and fiber, yogurts with inadequate conditioning
An absolute delight 😊 this is an incredible place in the middle of nature - the perfect place to unwind. The hotel has indoor heated pool, jacuzzi, Turkish bath, sauna and gym (all free access). The outdoor includes a kids park and a bar/caffee. The breakfast is amazing 👏🏻
I keep returning to this hotel 😍
Also to mention the hotel staff which is very kind, nice and helpful. A special kudos to Alexandre which is an amazing person and always available to help.
Hotel with excellent rooms, great food and very good service, especially the very attentive young people, such as Joana and Bárbara at the reception. In the restaurant: Beatriz, Daniela, Bruno and Paulo.
I had the opportunity to talk to them and they were always very helpful. The hotel has a great spa, the only thing it loses out on is that it is outside and there is no gym.
Another thing I found good was the bathroom, with a shower and very modern.
Beautiful home, serene and equipped with everything you need. The style is unique and the ambiance was pleasant. We will definitely come back ❤️
Very Good

Gguolin021The room is comfortable and the hotel service is good. The hotel is in a good location, there is a cruise ship terminal, and the lights are particularly beautiful at night. I hope to arrange a holiday with my family in the future.
JJanusz z OlsztynaIf someone is looking for a non-commercial place, but at the same time warm, friendly and naturally composed, then this is a 100% sure choice: without the advantage of form over substance, excellent cuisine (I recommend buying the HB option, it's worth it!), very friendly staff, no crowds and full harmony with the surrounding nature. The location on the lagoon itself adds an additional touch of nature. Away from the hustle and bustle, without rushing. You may get the impression that time slows down here a bit, or maybe it flows differently?

邓邓The room is okay, the town is relatively small, very close to the town center, walked to find a restaurant, and saw a Chinese-owned friendship mall. Prices are relatively low in Europe, and I feel safe.
GGuest UserThe hotel was perfect, the attention was excellent and very fast check in. Parking at the hotel door free and very accessible if you carry baggage or cars.
