    delicious breakfast
    fantastic jazz band
    limited dining options

    My wife and I enjoyed our first stay here, especially the delicious breakfast and the lovely dinner at the Capitol Grill while enjoying the fantastic jazz band. We had a great time relaxing at the indoor swimming pool and indulging in soothing massages at the spa. The only downside was that the dining options for kids were a bit limited, but overall, it was an amazing experience! 😊

    This hotel has a prime location near Beira Lake, ideal for evening strolls with the family. We loved the spacious Beautiful Lake View King room and thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent views. Every staff member was attentive, and the breakfast spread was really good.

    Couple's Ideal Getaway

    The food was fantastic. The spa? A couples massage that was better than I could've anticipated.

    It wasn't exactly budget-friendly but still acceptable.

    magnificent decoration
    luxurious ambiance
    comfortable accessibility
    vegan options
    dining variety

    I was impressed by the hotel's magnificent decoration and luxurious ambiance. The lobby, especially, with its fine chandelier, was a perfect cute area that is also easily accessible for seniors.

    More vegan dining options would be appreciated.

    Fine views and really good breakfast

    The breakfast spread was very nice, with freshly baked croissants and a lovely selection of organic juices. The room had a fantastic view of the ocean. I did notice that more vegan dining options would enhance the dining experience.

    great balcony
    decent view
    nice overall
    no mirrors
    cold air conditioning

    The room was nice overall, but there were no mirrors, a hassle. The half mirror in the bathroom just didn't cut it, especially for makeup. I struggled with the air conditioner-I was cold the whole time! It had a great balcony and the view was decent though. Just needed a few more comforts.
