Anniversary Trip in Douro Valley
Pros:

Choosing to have breakfast and dinner included was the right choice. It made our stay in the Douro Valley very convenient. We enjoyed dinner on the terrace outside the restaurant and the pool was fantastic. The views are incredible and our only regret was that we didn't book more nights!

Stunning location and views, with lovely rooms, but let down by poor eating and barcfacilities
Pros:

Stunning location with amazing views. Small rooms, but very clean and comfortable

Cons:

The restaurant and bar facilities were very disappointing, with no dedicated bar area. The restaurant seemed chaotic with inadequate outdoor seating and felt more like a canteen. The staff varied from excellent to harassed and rushing around, which wasn’t conducive to a relaxed atmosphere.
Car parking was also chaotic.

Vistas increíbles - restaurante y la subida a pie con maletas terrible
Pros:

Las vistas impresionantes, las dos piscinas. Que las habitaciones tengan todas balcón con increíble vista

Cons:

Que no tengan un servicio para subir las maletas. Tuvimos que subir muchísimas escaleras con maletas grandes y aunque un chico nos ayudó a algunos (éramos un grupo) debería tener un carro que Transporte esas maletas cuesta arriba. Íbamos con personas mayores que claramente no podían hacerlo. Al check in nos dijeron que si queríamos ayuda para bajar las maletas tendríamos que esperar un rato. Luego el restaurante me pareció terrible! Es solo buffet y te sientes en un restaurante de una gran cadena de USA donde además quedas oliendo a fritura tanto en la cena como en el desayuno. No hay un lugar pequeño con gusto. El supuesto bar donde supuestamente sirven a la carta es una carta de solo sándwich y está dentro del restaurante del mismo monstruo de restaurante sin ningún encanto. No es acorde con el resto de las instalaciones. Luego la chica de la recepción que nos recibió es de lo menos simpática y cordial. Los chicos si muy bien
