Não superou as nossas expectativas.
Pros:

Das comodidades do alojamento.

Cons:

O quarto não estava bem limpo, havia cabelos na WC, afastamos uma poltrona e tinha pó acumulado.
Durante a estadia houve um curto circuito que não foi nada agradável.

Excelente hotel, tudo incluído, comida deliciosa
Pros:

Jardins bem cuidados, limpeza permanente espaços comuns, tudo incluído de muito boa qualidade. Restaurante buffet com as melhores comidas que já provei, variedade, sabor, comida Portuguesa excelente. Voltarei pelo buffet, ex-líbris do hotel! Quarto muito espaçoso e bem equipado. Proximidade de praias exóticas, típicas do Algarve.

Cons:

O quarto poderia ser renovado. O colchão era demasiadamente macio o que acabei por não dormir bem.

à éviter compte tenu des désagréments . Le standing ne peut etre 5 étoiles et de trés loin .
Cons:

Tout a été décevant : vieillot - , Personnel insuffisant et souvent incompétant . Barman parti diner à l'heure de l'apéritif le soir ....un comble pour un All Inclusive (, obligé d' aller chercher la femme de chambre dans le couloir ,faute d'avoir passé l'aspirateur le matin ....!! ) etc etc Buffet pas à la hauteur d' un 5 étoiles , Chauffage ne permetant pas de chauffer le séjour et la chambre en meme temps ...!!!! Nous avions une suite . Le groupe NAU semble étre en grande difficultés . et bien sur nous ne retournerons pas dans un hotel de ce groupe
