Needs some small renovations

Carpet was a bit old and dirt and really brought down the quality of the place. Everything else was fine but the carpet gave a yucky feeling so I wouldn’t come back until they have proper flooring. The breakfast had a good selection but I wish they didn’t have the weird rule of not allowing to have breakfast in the outside area which is just next to the breakfast area. Apartment lot it was the “boss’s rules”. Are we children and not allowed outside with the pretty view? The swimming pool and spa was good and not very busy.

We stayed in the suites, which were huge. I think there’s only one on each floor. It was a lot of volume to cool, but the Air conditioning was able to work really well in one of our two rooms and it worked OK in the other. Considering that we were sleeping 4 people in each room, he should’ve had a better sofa bed. The slots were so bent and broken, and the mattress is only like 2 inches thick. My teenage son did not get a good nights sleep because of this. They were nice enough to bring a second 2 inch mattress making it thicker but it was still sagging. Considering these were suites of the hotel, they should have the nicest mattresses for the sofa bed. Then one of my other teenage son slept in the second night and his back and shoulder were sore for days. Property itself is beautiful with the swimming pool and the incredible views. The staff was nice. I think they just need to address the sofa bed issue. Sleep is usually the number one priority for travelers.

Décevant

Décevant pour le prix payé J’ai séjourné dans cet hôtel en pensant profiter d’un certain standing étant donné le tarif élevé, mais j’ai été assez déçu. Les matelas sont inconfortables et mériteraient clairement d’être changés – pas à la hauteur d’un hôtel de ce niveau. Par ailleurs, le manque d’informations à l’arrivée (sur les services, les horaires, ou les équipements) a rendu le séjour moins agréable. Le cadre ou l’emplacement peut être correct, mais cela ne justifie pas le prix demandé. Rapport qualité-prix très discutable

Utmärkt personal och trevligt bemötande i receptionen. Personalen i restauranten mycket vänlig, men de talade mycket bristfällig engelska vilket gav upphov till missförstånd. Frukosten var inte den bästa. Inga grönsaker och bristande variation på bröd, ost, youghurt, müsli etc. Ojämn kvalite på middagsmaten. Saknade möjlighet att äta frukost och middag på terassen. Stora luftiga rum med terass mot ett trivsamt poolområde. Ingen service vidpoolområdet. Personal kunde gärna ha torkat av dynor och solstolar efter regn. Bra och kostnadsfria parkeringsmöjligheter.

O Hotel tem um enquandramento paisagístico excecional, onde impera o silêncio e o ar puro. Cenário ideal para uns dias de descanso retemperador.Os funcionários foram bastante atenciosos e muito simpáticos. Tratando-se de um espaço classificado com 4 estrelas, duas notas menos positivas que nos parecem merecer um upgrade: a falta de conservação de algumas áreas e a reduzida diversidade de produtos ao pequeno almoço, nomeadamente naturais e autóctones. Apesar destes reparos, iremos aconselhar o hotel e, havendo oportunidade, tencionamos voltar.

Hotel espectacular, precioso, cuidado hasta el mínimo detalle tanto dentro como fuera. Desayuno sensacional, piscina chulisima, muy cómoda para ir con niños, hamacas abundantes, si están todas cogidas ponen más (esto nunca lo había visto en ningún hotel) Spa pequeño pero aceptable, personal muy amable. Cocteles en el chiringuito impresionantes. Lo único negativo es la carta de comida del chiringuito y el sofá cama de los niños que hacía mucho ruido con cada movimiento. el resto genial. Increíble

Hotel muito bonito, agradável no entanto tem espaço a muitas melhorias. Situa-se numa zona com uma paisagem maravilhosa. Os funcionários são simpáticos mas nota-se alguma desmotivação. Ao longo do hotel nota-se que existe uma falta enorme de manutenção pelo espaço. As camas e cadeiras necessitam de renovação e o espaço necessita de uma pintura. O pequeno almoço não é nada mau, tem uma variedade intermédia. Apesar de tudo gostei do hotel e da zona, foi uma experiência positiva.

SPA falhado

Boas.. a expectativas eram grandes dai me ter desiludido um pouco... Recepcionista com falta de experiência... Não nos informaram de nada...so nos deu o cartão do quarto. Tivemos de ser nós a perguntar tudo... Nenhuma informação neste site de que seria preciso tocas para uso da piscina... O nosso grande motivo que nos levou a escolher este hotel foi o SPA... que não estava a funcionar... apenas a piscina interior e com agua fria 😟 De resto tudo normal... quarto bem limpo e arrumado nas duas noites que ficamos um bom pequeno almoço... Mas a precisar de melhoramentos por todo o hotel...desde paredes que ja merecem uma pintura a alcatifas que precisam de uma boa lavagem... Infelizmente so usamos este hotel para durmir e tomar o peq.almoco...

Restrictive breakfast options for vegans

A good stay, the staff was very friendly. Breakfast can be improved. Not many options for a vegan. As easy fix whit all vegan items that are available and very common that can replace "common" dairy products, from milk, butter or cheese.
