Decepcionada esperava mais de um hotel 4 estrelas
Pros:

A área da piscina é a vista do quarto .

Cons:

O hotel é bonito, agradável e tem uma piscina bastante agradável, mas confesso que esperava mais, principalmente por se tratar de um hotel de 4 estrelas.

O colchão não era muito confortável, o que acabou por prejudicar a qualidade do descanso. No entanto, o que mais me dececionou foi o pequeno-almoço. Sinceramente, foi um dos piores pequenos-almoços que já tive num hotel e, tendo em conta a categoria do estabelecimento, esperava muito mais variedade e qualidade.

No geral, foi uma experiência abaixo das minhas expectativas. O hotel tem potencial e alguns pontos positivos, mas acredito que há vários aspetos que poderiam ser melhorados para estar à altura de um hotel de 4 estrelas.
