Pros:

Lækkert hotel.
Virkelig god morgenmad
Meget stille og roligt.
Virkelig serviceminded personale

Cons:

Faktisk ingenting.
Rengøring missede dog en dag. Ærgerlig for rengøringen på hotellet var virkelig højt niveau.
Lidt lang afstand til Lissabon by.

Fabulous - would definitely come again.
Pros:

Great location, lovely building and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The plumbing and electrics could do with upgrading (only one plug socket by one side of the bed and one other for charging phones etc.).

UN OASIS EN UNA ZONA MUY TURISTICA
Pros:

Desayuno buffet muy bueno y completo enseguida reponen (zona de zumos y batidos naturales) , zona donde al instante te hacen desde tortilla, huevos de diferente manera y crepes, bollería industrial y también casera. Si lo pides tienen pan para celiacos. La Piscina una grande y otra infantil. Habitación amplia. Esta en una población cerca de Estoril y Cascais pero mucho mas tranquila y hay bastantes restaurantes mas económicos que el del hotel cerca

Pros:

El hotel es muy lindo, excelentes habitaciones y atención. El desayuno es bastante bueno y contundente.

Cons:

Creo que mi única crítica es la conexión a internet. Había momentos en que simplemente no tenía conexión y tenía que utilizar el roaming para conectar mi computador para trabajar.
