From the start, we could easily tell the hotel was once very luxurious - however we felt like the luxury part is starting to fade.
The general amenities are very well executed, but are starting to get a little older (the hotel might use a revamp). The hotel staff was utmost friendly, a very big kudos to them!
Both swimming pools, the gym, the spa, … are in very good condition and were an absolute joy. The views you have from the hotel are stunning!
Comparing the prices of the bar, the restaurant, … to local prices they are a bit steep (normal western European prices vs local Portugese prices that are lower). Breakfast is great, but is served in a giant room that isn’t very cosy or welcoming.
Overall a very nice stay, however we feel like the hotel is portrayed slightly better online that it feels in real life.
