Schöne Anlage, aber leider etwas in die Jahre gekommen und wenig gepflegt.
Pros:

Zuvorkommendes Personal, gutes Frühstück.

Cons:

Die Hotelanlage an sich wäre sehr schön, ist jedoch leider etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Unser Zimmer roch unangenehm und auch das Badezimmer wirkte teilweise renovierungsbedürftig. Insgesamt hatte man den Eindruck, dass die Zimmer schon länger etwas mehr Pflege und Liebe zum Detail gebrauchen könnten.

Leider hatten wir während unseres Aufenthalts auch schlechtes Wetter. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass der Gesamteindruck bei schönem Wetter und mit der Möglichkeit, den Pool und die Terrasse zu nutzen, deutlich positiver gewesen wäre.

Tolles Hotel – sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis – guter Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung der Strände
Pros:

Frühstück<: Service und Personal sehr gut. Sehr freundlich und herzlich – sympathisch, man fühlt sich wohl. Das Restaurant bietet eine kleine feine Auswahl an regionaler Küche mit internationalem Charakter – sehr empfehlenswert. Im Park gibt es einen wunderbaren Pool – ideal um am Morgen kurz einzutauchen.

Cons:

Ehrlich gesagt – uns hat beim Frühstück das Gemüse gefehlt. Tomaten, Gurken, Paprika, etc. Sonst war alles sehr gut.

Muy recomendable
Pros:

El hotel es de arquitectura contemporánea, un buen proyecto de Aires Mateus. Vistas a la ciudad, habitación amplia y cómoda. El espacio que sirve de comedor, bar y con la cocina vista es muy agradable, así como el jardín con la piscina exterior. Buena cocina y buenos vinos.

Cons:

Lo único sobre lo que llamaría la atención es que hay demasiada permisividad con los niños, corretean gritando durante las cenas, aunque también es verdad que deberían ser los padres los que les llamaran la atención. Quizás un cartelito no estaría mal.

Взагалі чудове місце. І номер гарний. Їжа неймовірно смачна! Але є і нюанси
Pros:

Найкраще і те, що найбільше сподобалось, це кухня. У Сантьяго просто неперевершено смачно! Сві страви вишукані і дуууже смачні! Рекомендую обов'язково спробувати їжу у їх ресторані.

Cons:

Ліжка були так собі. Поверх штатних ліжок був якийсь тонкий матрац. Я не розумію, навіщо, але час від часу таке зустрічаю в Португалії. А потрібно лише 1 раз купити нормальний матрац і все.

І друге - тиша. Точніше її відсутність. Якщо ви хочете відпочити в тиші і виспатись - вам не сюди. Вранці всі починають рухатись, двері сусідів дуже гучно гупають. Також, там було дуууже багато людей з малими дітьми. Батько, який грайливо кричить зі свого номера в коридор, і дитина голосно сміється, взагалі плачучі діти в коридорі і ресторані. Ну і звукоізоляція дререй так собі, дуже добре чутно все з коридора.

Ну і ціна. За ту ціну, яку я сплатив за 2 ночі, я очікував на готель вищого рівня.

Uma estadia muito agradável, tranquila e confortável, num hotel cheio de charme e com uma excelente piscina.
Pros:

Gostámos muito da tranquilidade e do ambiente do hotel. O espaço exterior é muito agradável, bem cuidado e a piscina é, sem dúvida, um dos grandes destaques — perfeita para descansar e aproveitar os dias de bom tempo. O quarto era confortável e limpo, o pequeno-almoço variado e de boa qualidade e toda a equipa foi muito simpática, atenciosa e disponível. A localização é também excelente para quem pretende conhecer Santiago do Cacém e explorar a região.

Cons:

Nada de particularmente negativo a assinalar. A estadia correspondeu plenamente às nossas expectativas.

Belles vacances en famille
Pros:

L’emplacement, la nourriture, la belle vue de notre chambre

Cons:

C’était la deuxième année qu’on y séjournait, et cet année on a été un peu déçus. Tout s’est bien passé mais moins bien que en 2025

Superbe hôtel pour un séjour au calme dans les terres avec une accessibilité aux plages en voiture.
Pros:

L’hôtel est magnifique grâce a une vue sur Santiago dont on peut profiter à chaque endroit (balcons, piscine, espace extérieur). Très bon accueil dans l établissement, le petit déjeuner est très bon et très varié, le restaurant de l’hôtel propose une large carte avec des spécialités locales et portugaises. L’hôtel est calme et agréable.

Cons:

Le balcon pourrait être un peu plus grand.

Beautiful but not located perfectly for explorers
Pros:

9 Hotels in our trip through Portugal and this one had the biggest room, but little to do in the surrounding area. We enjoyed the stay, our girl had fun on the trampoline and climbing area. The food was very good and the room enormous

Cons:

The breakfast area was very loud. Charging our car was a problem at some point

Uma boa experiência
Pros:

Adorei a localização, disposição do hotel e toda a decoração.
Pequeno almoço super completo e muito fresco.
Tomei muito em consideração a atenção que tiveram ao reparar na data de aniversário do meu esposo e nos surpreenderem ao pequeno almoço com um bolinho para cantar os parabéns.
Obrigado

Cons:

Nos quartos falta limpeza.
Desde teias de aranha e aranha nos cortinados até a um ninho de cabelos encontrado ao regressar ao hotel após limpeza.
Também achei que poderiam ter mais opções para lanches.
