the pool area is large and pleasant. there are several restaurants in the hotel, and the italian restaurant was particularly wonderful with great food and servers. breakfast was elegant and delicious. the hotel bar provides nightly entertainment, which i really appreciated.
the hotel displays model figures that seemed dated and did not enhance the surroundings.

nice groundsbland foodextra water charge
The grounds looked pretty nice. I liked the outdoor pool.
The breakfast was not good at all. The food quality seemed low, and it often tasted bland. I was hoping for more local Portuguese cuisine at dinner but got a lot of Italian dishes. Paying extra for water during dinner seemed excessive too.

the breakfast buffet had a lot of options. i liked the extensive variety available each morning. it could get busy, food was restocked often. the pool is large and there are many loungers, so you don't need to reserve them.
the hotel is a bit far to drive to restaurants. groceries and other things are needed by car.
