Stayed two nights, one at the beginning of a six day bike trip, the other at the end of it. Rooms were clean and spacious. Elevators were too small and too few.

The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. The rooms were amazing and clean. The Gym was average and could have additional equipment eg treadmill. The Wi-Fi was excellent. I guess the only let down was having to pay to use the pool but it’s the same for most hotels in Portugal depending on the class of room you booked.

The property was amazing. It was clean and family friendly. Easily accesible by bolt and was close to ammentities. My most favourite thing about this stay was the Staff. The staff in this hotel went above and beyond every time we needed something. And I mean the entire staff, from front lobby to housekeeping and even those from the restaurant and bar area. All were so nice! They were always kind, curteous and helpful. I hope my family and I get the privelage of staying at this propety again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
