negative point- was not happy to pay for hot water swimming pool -i agrre to pay for gym & spa not the hot water swimming pool

large, balcony, sea view, waterfall shower, turn down service, amenities

pool

of terrace), indoor pool

gym is a little small but in a hiking location, fair enough

even though it's not the newest hotel it has everything one's need: good pool, gym, free sauna, relaxing spaces

maybe the only complaint was the gym, which is quite sparsely fitted out, but i don t go on holiday to get ripped

gym is small but could be a little better equipped with some free weights and perhaps a pull up bar

not much to do in the hotel itself -no sporting facilities and the gym is pretty inadequate.

the hotel is really amazing - we spent 1 week here and enjoyed the indoor pool, the gym, the sauna, turkish bath, the outdoor pool, the sandy beach just outside

they should buy some new equipment for the gym as well

there is no kettle for coffee in the room. the gym did not have that much equipment.

gym

the seaside, restaurants, etc good breakfast with a lot of choice staff is nice there is a small gym

the hotel has a small gym, an indoor swimming pool and sauna, and a terrace on the top for sunbathing

small gym

the entire gym is broken and nobody gives a damn

and i was mightily impressed by the fact that it was “business as usual” for the pool, sauna, gym etc

gym could do with a water fountain

in gym nothing have worked and reception had no idea how to switch on anything so i had to google

also connected via an indoor passage is an indoor pool/gym/spa

gym didnt open until 10am. would of been nice to use it from 6am.

it’s a pity that the swimming pool or the gym were not open longer.

the gym is well equipped and everything is in order and works at all times

the spa and the gym were great too - we had it to ourselves

viewpoint right outside the hotel too… could have stayed for longer with all the facilities inc gym, spa & pool… although we didn’t use any for the 1 night we were there

year end fireworks from our balcony the staff - very courteous morning breakfast one of the nicer gyms we had access to during our stay in

the hotel as an excellent gym with all the equipment and weights that one would expect only in an urban business hotel

also gym was well-equipted what is not really common in hotels

location, rooftop pools, gym, personel

highly recommend a workout in the gym downstairs, a coastal run and swim at the porto moniz pools before breakfast

gym equipment selection could be larger, and heating in the room could also be improved.

the pillows need replacing and the gym is... lacking.

is no gym on site

i also liked the small gym for a quick workout

the gym could be slightly more modern with a sound system that you can connect your phone too, however

gym, pool area

great gym, never seen a hotel gym with >100 kg in plates. amazing view from praia formosa cliff

we liked everything although the gym was pretty warm. it didn’t stop us using it however!

at dinner you basically forced to pay €4 for a tiny bottle off water which was a let down,the gym has very few old equipment not good enough for a 5 star hotel, would off appreciate cotton buds

gym was a bit disappointing – i missed a cross-trainer, which would be a great addition to the

bit outdated, beds - super uncomfortable, the gym almost non existant, pools not heated, but seems clean

the gym is antiquated

gym needs modernised, equipment needs

not a playground, jungle gym or water slide in sight

the swimming pool and the gym are in good condition

the gym instruments are slightly old/used and might need to be replaced...

the gym was nice, the pools were large and, most importantly - clean and well maintained which cannot

didn’t like the gym

is definitely not cheap, considering that they have a spa and a gym included it’s a good value and kids can stay for free

night swimming is not allowed, pool, spa and gym opens late and closes early.

main gym was closed and we were not informed before hand

the hotel has a lot of activities

should add a little bit more equipment to the gym, it does not need several bicycles or treadmills - just some cable machine or heavier dumbbell
