Um hotel com uma excelente localização.
Pros:

A localização é claramente uma mais valia deste hotel, já que, está muito central e com uma vista muito desafogada!

Cons:

O quarto em si. Apesar de muito espaçoso, mas pelo facto, de ser adaptado a pessoas com necessidades especiais, tinha uma uma "utilização" pouco funcional, sobretudo, o duche e o lavatório.

Wonderful hotel with garage parking
Pros:

Very modern hotel.
Travelling on motorbikes secure parking is very important to us.
We were able to book the hotel garage parking on-site for a fee, you access the garage via a relatively steep ramp.
Great facilities.
Very comfortable room with air conditioning.
Breakfast options were very good.
Supermarkets and shops etc very close by.
Would recommend.

Cons:

Nothing

Meliá nunca falla, apuesta segura.
Pros:

Ubicación perfecta, al final de uno de los canales, en 10 minutos de paseo te encontrabas en el centro.
Habitación muy silenciosa. Les advertimos de que una persona tenía un pequeño problema de movilidad y nos dieron la habitación adaptada con ducha y cama kingsize.
Además, al no haber en las proximidades aparcamiento para personas de movilidad reducida pedimos una plaza en su parking privado y nos lo obsequiaron como detalle del hotel. Un diez por su parte.
Los desayunos muy completos, el mejor sin duda de todos los hoteles en los que nos hemos hospedado en Portugal.
No cenamos en el restaurante pero si lo hicimos en la cafetería: carta extensa y muy variada, para quedar a gusto.

Cons:

Por poner una pega, no tienen parking en el exterior ni plazas de movilidad reducida en las cercanias, hay una explanada de piedra y arena con lo que los coches se llenan de polvo hasta arriba, pero lo solventan con un parking de pago en el hotel(15€)
