It's a good hotel, comfortable, well located. Better than most offers in the area, but not an amazing hotel.

Gabriel Spain

Amazing new hotel, complete with full suite of amenities. The hotel is well taken care of, and is located close to the city centre, would recommend it if you have access to a car. The pool, turkish bath, sauna and gym were very well kept and elevated our experience at the hotel. The breakfast was impressive, and offered a variety of selections.

Ryah Canada

Not a full english breakfast, but more a full portuguese breakfast..Tiny Susages , tiny bacon strips, baked beans were nice, though. and the fruit , cereal, and coffee were great!

Dean United Kingdom

Everything about this hotel was excellent. We were there for my wife's birthday and the staff laid the perfect table with champagne as requested.

Ken United Kingdom

Kind staff, excellent customer services, awesome views and facilities, I loved the SPA and the restaurant

Gladys United States of America

Good range of things on the buffet, but can't say they were particularly great. Eggs were a bit rubbery. Still, nice having the choices.

Anonymous United States of America

Clean, Covid-safe, quiet and peaceful in the room (with sound-proofing and effective blackout curtains) and in the hotel common spaces, staff polite and friendly, good room service food delivered quickly, comfy bed and good sleep.

Fergal Portugal

To honest we liked everything, everything was lovely, the sympathy of the employees, the food was divinal the location is perfect. So we couldn't asked for more
