Un séjour à la hauteur de mes attentes
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner buffet, l’accueil, l'établissement et tous les services proposés et même une très gentille attention pour mon anniversaire (gâteau avec sa bougie et une bouteille de vin blanc pétillant) m'attendait dans la chambre !

Cons:

Je n'ai rien à redire

Pros:

Meerblick war gut

Cons:

Wer es beim Essen sehr laut mag ist hier genau richtig. Das Personal hat absolut keine Lust und läuft eher gelangweilt an einem vorbei. In der angeblich neu renovierten Suite ist mehr kaputt als intakt.

Estadia tranquila
Pros:

Tudo servido com responsabilidade, nada de gastos desnecessários....adorei.
Comida sempre bem confeccionada e com qualidade.....bancada da comida sempre limpa....
Funcionários simpáticos na sua grande maioria....
Um dos dias, havia uma senhora espanhola alérgica a marisco e outras coisas mais e, o cozinheiro veio cá fora e juntamente com a senhora esteve a mostrar lhe prato por prato o que não deveria comer....esta situação deu-me ainda mais confiança em relação a comida, pois quem o fez sabia o que cada prato continha.
Quanto aos quartos, dormi toda a noite por isso nada a apontar....

Cons:

Nada a declarar nesta estadia.

Saai hotel op rustige locatie, geen 5 sterren waard.
Pros:

Ruim appartement. 2 badkamers. Goede bedden. Eten was eenvoudig maar vers. Vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

Zeker geen 5 sterren waard! Saai hotel, weinig Portugese sfeer. Alles is donkerbruin en beige. Het eten was niet specefiek Portugees, op enkele gerechten na. Geen life-cooking, geen verse sapjes. Overal (tè) harde muziek. Als je vroeg of het zachter mocht gebeurde dat voor een half uurtje. Over stonden geur-verspreiders, vreselijk.
