Pros:

O pequeno almoço era agradável, os quartos eram espaçosos. A localização muito boa

Cons:

O jantar era péssimo, muito pouca variedade, qualidade da confeção da comida deixou a desejar, muitas vezes com a zona do buffet de saladas praticamente vazia e os preços das bebidas muito caros
Várias vezes me dirigi aos bares, tanto exterior como interior e não tinham nenhum funcionário para atender

Vistas muy bonitas
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena, la limpieza también. La habitación es amplia y agradable. El baño es grande y de buenos materiales.

Cons:

El bufet de comida bastante justo de calidad y variedad, la fruta y el pan Buenos, pero los platos cocinados no muy buenos la verdad. Estaría bien si hicieran alguna zona de juego infantil en el exterior por ejemplo. Para los niños falta un poco de organización.

Pros:

Velmi prostorné pokoje s krásným výhledem. Hotel má skvělý bazén a písčitou pláž doslova pár kroků od areálu. Oceňuji také dostatek parkovacích míst přímo u hotelu a jeho blízkost k letišti. Příjemným překvapením bylo prodloužení check-outu o jednu hodinu zdarma, což nám v den odjezdu přišlo vhod.

Cons:

Největším zklamáním byla polopenze. Už při vstupu do restaurace se často čekalo, než vás personál pustí ke stolu a zapíše číslo pokoje. Obsluha během snídaní i večeří byla velmi pomalá. Kvalita jídla neodpovídala očekávání ani recenzím, které jsme si před pobytem četli. Snídaně byly každý den téměř stejné a výběr byl velmi omezený. Slanina byla za celý pobyt pouze jednou, z teplých jídel byly zpravidla jen párky a na omelety či míchaná vejce se tvořily dlouhé fronty. K cereáliím byly k dispozici pouze rozinky, bez dalších doplňků, jako jsou ořechy nebo semínka. Večeře také nebyly příliš pestré – většinou byl k dispozici jen jeden druh masa, například jehněčí, maso s kližkami nebo mleté maso. Z příloh chyběla větší rozmanitost a hranolky se objevily pouze jednou. Každý den byla v nabídce zapečená ryba, která však často výrazně zapáchala rybinou.

Pros:

We had a pleasant stay at Pestana Bahia Resort. The location is excellent—just a 1-minute walk to the beach, making it very convenient.

The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and the outdoor swimming pool is a great place to relax. Our room was spacious and having a private balcony was a big plus.

We booked the breakfast and dinner package. The food quality was good, although the selection was somewhat limited.

Free parking was another nice bonus and made our stay even more convenient. Overall, it's a comfortable hotel in a fantastic location, especially if you want easy beach access.

All in all an enjoyable stay and good value for money
Pros:

The junior suite was very spacious for our group of 3 and it was most convenient to have breakfast and dinner included in the price. Despite a lot of negative reviews about the lack of variety at dinner, I found it more than sufficient. The location is stunning and the hotel is easily accessible if you have a car.

Cons:

The bed wasn't so comfortable and the price of bottled water at dinner was very expensive. The hotel facilities are average. Although there's a gym it's very basic. The spa doesn't have much to offer, but the island abounds in thermal pools and waterfalls which make up for the lack of facilities in the hotel.

Pros:

The territory of the hotel is really beautiful. The lawns seem to be endless.

Cons:

This hotel is incredibly overpriced for the level and quality of service that one receives. The food in the restaurant reminded me of the student canteen. Very low quality. The pool area is not inviting at all. The staff needs proper training in hospitality. Overall it was a disappointing experience.
