Excellent location. Very high standards throughout and remarkably quiet it was difficult to imagine there were other guests despite the hotel hosting a large group.
PortugalIt was like stepping back in time, a most beautiful renovation of this old Hotel, very Ralph Loren. So much attention to detail. Great location opposite the marina and breakfasts were amazing. I cant recommend enough, we will most definitely be going back.
PortugalAmazing staff. Delicious food. Elegant comfortable medium river room with fantastic views.
United KingdomBreakfast was amazing, staff super helpful and friendly and the Beach Club is out of this world! If you looking for sheer relaxation spend 5 days there like we did. Absolute bliss..
South AfricaExcellent breakfast, very tasteful presentation of all the dishes. Very friendly amd attentive service. Everything was easy even with a 3 year old child. The location is amazing and te beach club perfect for a relaxing day.
SpainThe whole experience was superb, maybe the pillows could do with not being so soft but that is our personal preferance.
PortugalThis is an exceptional hotel, beautifully and thoughtfully renovated from a 1920s hotel. The rooms are light airy and spacious with C O Bigelow toiletries in the bathroom, chocolates left on the bed by the housekeeper at turn down and fruit and plenty of still and sparkling water in the room each day. The staff are quietly attentive and very helpful. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious. We particularly liked the homemade granola and raspberry and chocolate jam. We had the most superb dinner on two evenings with fab cocktails prepared by the bartender beforehand. The chef is clearly very talented and the sommelier helped us with a lovely wine to accompany our supper. We also used the beach club each day which was great.
United KingdomAll the things I marked above plus birthday cake for birthday of my wife during breakfast!
FranceI loved everything about the place. A true jewel. The staff was amazing and so was the quality of everything else. The dinner was superb. Pure colonial beach luxury hotel.
PortugalEs un hotel de película...con todo tipo de detalles. Un personal muy amable. Un desayuno muy bueno. Volvería mil veces
