My absolute favorite hotel on the Portuguese Camino.
Pros:

EVERYTHING. Price to quality ratio was exceptional. Well staffed, clean and well run. Spa was impressive as was the outdoor pool. Room was gorgeous.

Cons:

Did not eat at the restaurant for dinner as it was too fancy (personal preference as it did look beautiful).

Estada extraordinária
Pros:

Tudo estava excelente! O edifício é lindo bem como o local em que está enquadrado. Recuperação de um espaço com um bom gosto e conforto extraordinários, em que o antigo e o contemporâneo se misturam numa simbiose perfeita. Funcionários simpáticos e cuidadosos.

Muito boa. Podia ter sido memorável se o ginásio fosse muito melhor.
Pros:

Gostei muito da simpatia e eficiência do pessoal.
Gostei muito da vista e das características do quarto 212.
Gostei muito do bar onde jantamos quase sempre e da piscina interior.

Cons:

A água quente do duche era pouco estável.
O ginásio devia ser 4 vezes maior e muito mais bem equipado. Definitivamente não está à altura de um hotel de 5 estrelas localizado numa terra de desporto.
A limpeza das cadeiras do restaurante era muito má ao pequeno almoço; limpam bem as mesas mas descuram completamente as cadeiras.
