La limpieza, el personal es muy amable y el hotel es cómodo.
The spa is not a spa, but rather an indoor pool with a jacuzzi. Breakfast is somewhat lacking.
El spa, no es un spa, sino más bien una piscina interior con jacuzzi. El desayuno algo escaso.

El hotel bien, lo peor la ubicación, esta a 2 km del centro. Te ponía un trenecito el hotel para ir y venir del centro, pero los horarios un poco malos y se perdía tiempo
Hotel location and winery location. It is not worth going to the winery for the wine tasting, it was very far from the center and they only gave you the chance to taste two port wines. A waste of time in my opinion.
Ubicaciónde hotel y ubicación de la bodega. No merece la pena ir a la bodega para la cata de vinos, estaba muy lejos del centro y nada mas que te daban a probar dos vinos de porto sin mas. Una perdida de tiempo en mi opinión.

Las instalaciones en general , piscina exterior, spa, desayuno, servicio, un hotel moderno y acogedor, repetiremos.
The only downside I find is for car park if you don't hire the car park or if it's full, as it is on a somewhat narrow two-way road.
El único jandica que le encuentro es para aparcar si no contratas el aparcamiento o si esta completo, ya que esta en una carretera de doble sentido algo estrecha.

No hay nada reseñable la verdad no repetiría.
The rooms, cleanliness, organization of services, and main areas are very small, the space at the pool is very limited and when so many people gather it ends up being a bad experience because you are not comfortable. Also, Busco un deal has not helped me at all in this regard, they have washed their hands.
Las habitaciones , limpieza , organización de los servicios , las zonas comunes son muy reducidas , el sitio en la piscina es muy reducido y al juntarse tanta gente se acaba haciendo una mala experiencia porque no estas comodo. Desde busco un chollo tampoco me han ayudado en nada al respecto se han lavado las manos .

The Spa consists of a pool with a jacuzzi area, perhaps adding a Turkish bath and sauna. Promote the bar and restaurant with an offer like happy hour.
