for example, the hostel does not offer laundry service anymore

however, upon loading our laundry into the machine, we were unexpectedly asked to pay for its use and also charged extra for

breakfast was amazing

is very poor throughout the whole territory and by the pool, bar the reception area, but it is understandable, as the site is too big

the facilities were top-notch—the pool was wonderfully refreshing, and the poolside bar served some of the best cocktails i’ve ever had

beautiful garden, great view, excellent breakfast

massages in the spa were excellent

and let's not forget the infinity pool and plentiful supply of sun loungers and parasols

i am addicted to madeira, and a key ingredient of this addiction is pestana casino park

no room service menu in room, among many other minor annoyances

) was a shame and bar got busy at night with a bit of a chaotic approach to ordering drinks, but struggling to think

well every day, we could tell that some days it was not hoovered, tissues weren t refilled, room service dishes weren t taken away

comfortable modern rooms, strong wifi, great pool and spa area with a view, helpful staff, huge full breakfast buffet

no kids- no screaming

room service was slow, something forgetting to clean dirty glasses

i also enjoyed the gym - which was never crowded

i wish there was some place dedicated to small kids, even some board games in a game room would be nice

the breakfast was really rich and fresh

:) the room, parking, etc are great but what makes this hotel stand out is the service and kindness of the staff

the gym was nice

wifi connection fluctuated and the vast savoy complex being built behind the hotel could be noisy

room view quality restaurant bar ,all top class.

small kitchen which is big enough to prepare breakfast and a small dinner

small kitchen which is big enough to prepare breakfast and a small dinner

the first one, in the bathroom and kitchen, the second one, the bathroom, the third one, in the fridge

breakfast is just ok

numerous restaurants around also but none as close as there own lovely garden /restaurant with a bar all the grilled food is cooked on the coals within view

upstairs bar terrace is a little soulless - i feel it could be made more appealing.

no bar facility down at atlantic pool level so nowhere to order a drink if sunbathing there

e company they work with was wonderful and sent over a kindergarten teacher who has two kids herself - our boy was smitten

from reception to dining to pool and room service, staff were amazingly welcoming and helpful

the kids liked the games corner and the swimming pools

a word two for gina in the spa who gave us wonderful hot stones massages

other besides outside and inside swimming pool, we didn’t need but consider, if you have small kids

rooms and public spaces all very clean and felt luxurious to us

a lovely room, with a balcony overlooking the garden and pool area

the pool was excellent

gym is pointless

staff were very friendly to and efficient,top class breakfast and dinner

good size pool

charged extra for water at dinner - we paid for breakfast and dinner option, so such a basic thing as water should have been included

there are a couple of bars though they don’t tend to get busy so sometimes you have to track down a staff member to

superb facilities, location and breakfast.

the bars were mostly shut, cocktail bar never open and pool bars never open, despite excellent weather

we could choose the continental breakfast room service, or a sumptuous spread down by the pool

the pool area is glorious and the food

enjoyed high tea, breakfast every morning, the sea pool, the gardens

housekeeping & room service were outstanding

the breakfast was very good excellent choice of local produce.

wifi is the only problem. it's pretty unstable.

didn't try the buffet dinner but had room service, and that was fine

wifi was pretty bad at times, which was a disappointment and actually the main negative

many free parking spaces around the hotel, so it's totally fine for people with cars

the breakfast was a nice classic selection

good indoor & outdoor pools, well equipped gym and restaurant facilities.

doesn't feel crowded, plenty of space round the pool with shade

the pool wasn’t heated, but that is a nice-to-have!

one of the showers in the room didn't work, it's not critical but it's not 5 star level and the breakfast is very basic and not up to 5 star level

the infinity pool above the ocean and direct access to swim out to sea was just unbelievable

a very good breakfast buffet is offered in a restaurant that faces the ocean

dining they prepare a birthday surprise for me, with a cake, candle, sweets and juices for our kids and champagne for us, we absolutely love it

working throughout our stay, the water in the jacuzzi was merky, no supervision of the pool with kids jumping in amking it impossible to
