Excelente
Pros:

O hotel tem uma infraestrutura excelente. A academia é maravilhosa, os restaurantes são excelentes, o quarto é ótimo também. O hotel é muito preparado para resolver tudo para o hospede, é excelente isso.

Cons:

O hotel é bem grande então para chegar ao quarto anda-se bastante, a limpeza do quarto no dia que eu cheguei não estava boa não, toalhas com muito cabelo em cima, muito mesmo, mas depois nos outros dias melhorou este ponto. Apenas isso mesmo, o hotel é excelente.

Pros:

Mooie kamers, en ze waren connected, dat was fijn! Goede locatie en mooi ingericht, zeker de lobby!

Cons:

Heel druk rooftop restaurant, eerste avond was het vol en konden wij nergens terecht. Bij het zwembad was er geen mogelijkheid om op een bedje te liggen, omdat het te druk was.

Pros:

I Think that the Meu is very specific. Could have more options, not so vegan or sofisticate.
The roof top always have an event and the library/work room too. Its difficult to enjoy it' during the day

Cons:

The ambience
