"We had an easy check-in and a beautiful spacious apartment. We are casual golfers who had not planned on playing, but the course looked so nice we had to! The beds are large and comfortable. The WiFi, tv, AC, and bathrooms all worked perfectly. We played some family soccer at the outdoor pitch and would have enjoyed the pool except that a film crew was shooting a soap opera during our stay… it’s okay because instead we swam at Foz de Arelho beach 20 minutes away, which was one of our trip...

El servicio de buffet en general está bastante bien en general y el servicio en el mismo es impecable, bien atendido desde el inicio hasta el final. Aunque es verdad que la comida se hace un poco repetitiva y el menú infantil es muy corto. Siendo un hotel para niños creo que tendrian que tener mas variedad por ejemplo...
