The staff were friendly and helpful. Almost lost my phone and they tried to help me find it. Room was clean and modern. Unfortunately not soundproof enough. Good amenities. There’s a golf course beside it which was a bonus for us. Great view of the sunset and sunrise. Close to the airport.

We used public transport,for the Almada area, a green viva viagem card is a must. We found it best to use the zapping mode. Can be used on buses, trams and ferries, metro and cp trains for both sides of the river.

5/5 - Excellent
