Magnifique. Un hôtel emblématique.
Pros:

La disponibilité et l'ababilité du personne. La situation géographique et la vue à couper le souffle

Cons:

Trop de distance pour se rendre jusqu'á la salle de petit déjeuner et les piscines. Il faut emprunter plusieurs ascenseurs (4 pour parvenir à la piscine naturelle) et des couloirs peu appropriés pour une personne handicapée. Il manque une salle de fitness.

Flott service i verdensklasse i spektakulære omgivelser
Pros:

Fantastisk sted fra ankomst til avreise. Personalet er alltid et skritt foran og forutser ønsker og behov. Det er alltid rent overalt. Maten fantastisk uansett hvilken av restaurantene vi valgte. Bassenget varmt og med en rolig atmosfære. Turn-down service og supplering på rommene var fantastisk. Takk for oss vi kommer garantert tilbake!

Pros:

Quarto muito confortável com varanda e vista privilegiadas. O serviço de quarto sempre muito atencioso e prestativo.

Cons:

O serviço no pequeno almoço estava fraco e não compreendiam os nossos pedidos.
Eu costumo beber chá no início e a pessoa que foi comigo gostava do chá no final, mesmo pedindo para dar um tempo entre um chá e outro, eles continuavam, até o último dia, trazendo os dois juntos! Ou vinham os dois no começo ou os dois no final.
Também pedia um pão com presunto e queijo quente e traziam um pão enorme com uma fatia parecendo uma folha de papel de queijo e presunto. Foi bem desagradável em relação à outros serviços de pequeno almoço que já tive, por exemplo, no Copacabana Palace do Rio de Janeiro.
Sugestão: incluam no cardápio de vocês o Croque-monsieur servido no Copacabana Palace, fará um sucesso estupendo!
Liguem e peçam a receita, tornem este prato um padrão na rede Belmond e fará sucesso em todo o mundo.
