Fantastic Stay and Great Hospitality

large pool pleasant staff breakfast selection
The main pool is quite large, maintaining a very comfortable temperature. I enjoyed the breakfast selection. It had something for every taste, and it was nice to sit outside. The hotel staff was very attentive. Special mention to the team at Café Bem, they were very supported and humble providing for our needs.
The room became quite humid when the air conditioning was turned off. The moisture was so intense that the mirrors fogged. I found this a little inconvenient as it affected the room's overall comfort.
