Place is very nice! They definitely need some improvements in the gym area. Very nice staff. Everyone was really accommodating, specially Edwin, Souza, Stefany and Vanessa. Food was really good but they definitely need to make some adjustments. Lines were huge for breakfast and lunch stations. They were not that good with snacks and the Entertainment is not the best for adults. It is a really good place for kids and families. Not so much for couples. My room was amazing! Everything was nice, clean and well maintained.

Good - but not amazing
The hotel is nice, but we would have expected more from a 5-star resort. Our room was large, but rather worn. There was a strange smell from the cupboards so we did not put our clothes there. Also the bathroom was average - even the toilet was somewhat loose from the wall. The room safe did not work. No coffee makers in the rooms. If you don’t speak Portuguese be prepared to use google translate - a LOT. Our daughter had been looking forward to using the kids club but this was impossible as no one spoke English. Not a single person working with the kids knew the slightest English. Even some of the receptionists struggled with English so our bookings for dinner for example was mixed up and had to be rescheduled. Hardly anyone in the restaurants / bars spoke any English whatsoever. I find it strange that at a 5-star family resort of this size that English was such an issue. Other than that - pool area was nice and it was good being able to order drinks and snacks by the pool. Although a menu was necessary to point to what we wanted to order.

Boa tarde, gostei muito do hotel, mas só uma coisa me chamou a atenção. Gosto muito de frutos do mar, mas os canários do hotel não são limpos e isso é falta de higiene na cozinha. Antes de fazer o pedido, perguntei e me disseram que eles não são limpos. Eles só comeram no restaurante mediterrâneo do hotel, onde o vômito estava excelente e os camarões estavam limpos e deliciosos.

Falhas grosseiras na arrumação dos quartos, não trocavam os lençóis e as toalhas do quarto. Isso aconteceu vários dias. Todos os restaurantes sem ar condicionado, extremamente quentes, com hóspedes suando durante a alimentação. Muita demora para atender as ligações para central de atendimento e recepção do hotel. Muita demora para atender as demandas.

Decepção
Fiquei decepcionada. O hotel é muito bonito, os funcionários são extremamente gentis, mas claramente falta pessoal. Chegamos tarde, fomos ao bar e esperamos 1:30h por petiscos que chegaram depois de 1 da manhã. O café da manhã é o caos, falta até água, os poucos funcionários não dão conta da reposição dos alimentos e bebidas. Um dia saímos cedo, chegamos no hotel às 19h e nosso quarto não havia sido arrumado. Não voltaria e não indicaria o hotel, não vale o valor cobrado.

Quase tudo ótimo. Alimentação poderia ser melhor e
Hotel bem novo, quartos ótimos, localização muito boa. Praia e piscina excelentes. O que achou que poderia ser melhor e a alimentação, pouca opção e sem muito sabor, fora que durante o jantar e almoço os restaurantes tem muita fumaça e demorava bastante para pedir as opções de pratos . Porém , o restaurante de carnes foi o melhor cardápio. Por mais que compramos all inclusive não era tudo incluído algumas poucas opções ficaram fora da pensão completa all inclusive , que não era all inclusive . Tirando isso tudo excelente .
