10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic and beautiful

This must be our 10 th visit over the years I love bringing friends here. The look on their faces as you enter the walls to reveal this gem of a hotel Brilliant check in with friendly staff . We were hot and sticky being 37.c The large pool was open and welcoming The rooms clean and well equipped . Just one of our party had a plumbing issue with the shower Breakfast was beautiful with loads of fresh fruits and yoghurts . Plus hot food if you wanted . Staff very friendly On our second night we ate the restaurant in the hotel. Although very busy with a large group the staff were great and one of the best meals was had by all. Our group of seven throughly enjoyed the hotel has many antique artifacts as is like a living museum Will be staying again next year

Adoramos o hotel, em um forte, super confortável e com uma história incrível. Nosso café da manhã teve um toque de atenção da Suzana que nos atendeu super bem e fez pastéis de Belém na hora para que pudéssemos provar, tornou o momento especial.
