Great service
The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful. We had booked a room but last minute decided to come a day earlier and they were able to accommodate us with a great room and price.

Bom hotel com bom café da manhã, porém o café da manhã não tem variedade, se for passar muitos dias fica enjoativo. O quarto também é bom mas para acomodar 4 pessoas fica um pouco apertado.

Room was nice, very spacious and clean! Pool was warm and a nice size - but could be cleaner but I am sure it is hard to keep a pool clean with that many guests every day. Overall better than my expectations! Great location and clean room

Hotel was clean but dated, the AC wasn’t on prior to us entering our room and it was probably 90 degrees in the room (it was 91 outside) so it took a long time to cool off enough to be comfortable, I wish the pool had better hours
