Fantastic Hotel Experience!
great rangefresh pastrieshelpful staffrelaxed lobby
The breakfast had a great range of options and was constantly restocked. I especially liked the fresh pastéis de nata at the coffee station. The indoor pool was great. I enjoyed going from the sauna to the pool. The lobby was very relaxed, and the staff were helpful.
The corridors felt very long and the room I stayed in had very high ceilings, which affected the coziness.
