Experiência a repetir
Pros:

Tem excelentes comodidades e localização. A comida é boa.
Solicitámos na recepção a possibilidade de nos facultarem super cola e de imediato contactaram a manutenção para nos ajudar.
É uma experiência a repetir.

Cons:

Não tem propriamente a ver com o hotel, mas existem hóspedes que não respeitam os horários e fazem barulho nas varandas.

Turim Portimão
Pros:

As instalações em si são muito boas. O serviço de limpeza também é impecável e os funcionários todos muito prestáveis.

Cons:

Não há controle sobre música nas alturas nos outros apartamentos, o pequeno almoço buffet é muito caro, a máquina de café do R/c é terrivelmente má, precisa ser atualizada para algo com mais qualidade.

Pros:

Ótimas dimensões do apartamento, limpeza, tranquilidade do local e a sua excelente localização.

Cons:

Embora o pequeno-almoço fosse bastante agradável e variado, considero que poderia haver uma maior diversidade de pratos disponíveis ao jantar, bem como uma melhoria na qualidade da sua confeção.

Pros:

Stanza grande con ampio spazio anche per le valigie, cambio asciugamani frequente e un bel balcone che permetteva un'ottima ventilazione al quarto piano, parcheggio auto interno gratuito e personale della reception gentilissimo.

Cons:

La possibilità di scegliere un letto matrimoniale invece di 2 letti singoli, per il resto tutto ottimo.

A very convenient place when travelling by car
Pros:

+The room was amazing - very spacious and equipped with everything we needed, including shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and even a dishwashing kit. The terrace was lovely, and there was also a convenient place to dry clothes.
+The swimming pool is excellent - large enough not to feel crowded, with a separate area for children.
+There is plenty of parking available. The hotel is particularly convenient if you're travelling by car. We used it as a base for a couple of nights while exploring the southern coastline.
+A surprisingly good selection of fresh fruit at breakfast and dinner including papaya.

Cons:

-The dinners are not worth the money. What really surprised me is that they don't even have proper beer glasses. Beer is served in what looks like a gin glass, which is quite uncomfortable to drink from. The people around me didn't seem to mind, so perhaps it's just a personal preference, but for me it significantly reduced the enjoyment of the meal.
-Drinks are charged separately at dinner. Given the rather limited food selection, this doesn't feel like good value. For around €20 per person, it's easy to find a rodízio or buffet restaurant in the city that offers a much better dining experience.
-Housekeeping was inconsistent. On one day our room wasn't cleaned at all, and the towels were not changed during our entire four-night stay.
-The chairs in the outdoor dining area are uncomfortable. Some aspects of the hotel reminded me of the tradition of sending old furniture and household items to a summer cottage - things that are no longer good enough for the main house but still considered too good to throw away. The chairs and the beer glasses are good examples of this.
-The beverage menu provided at dinner is extremely worn out. It's unpleasant even to touch (see photo).

Apartamento basico y ruidoso
Pros:

Habitacion espaciosa

Cons:

Gente en balcones de fiesta durante toda la noche que no nos dejaron dormir, habitacion muy regular, ducha sin presion, baño que necesita una reforma. Todo muy mejorable para el precio que tiene. Alejado del centro y de las playas
