Not even close This was a funky place for sure. I understand as a frequent traveler that you can’t compare every property on the same scale but even taking this quirky little town into the formula, my biggest issue was expectation. Simply put it was so underwhelming compared to how the place sells itself. This is a place for older folks and families to come and enjoy hot pool treatments, just like every other hotel in San Pedro do sul. But the entire condition of the place was like a run down Motel 6 with a fancy indoor pool. I don’t think a single thing in this hotel has been repaired or updated since the mid nineties, they lock the main door at night, so sometimes you have to call a number to get let someone to open it, and we got stuck outside twice calling for over 20 minutes until someone opened it. However, the staff was INCREDIBLY nice and accommodating however they could be. They were as sweet and pleasant as any hospitality staff I’ve ever met, so I can’t completely roast the place. I think the thing that got me and others that have visited is they boast REAL heavy about their 4 stars. Which is hilarious. That is supposed to be an international symbol of quality and expectation. This is a 2, mayyyybe 3 star at best with a superb staff and a fancy indoor pool. I think they need to either remodel the place and truly make it a 4 star, or relax on the 4 star boasting and get real. I recommend the former, as this is a vacation town and they should capitalize on that. ##### Aaron Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Markus 2 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Bisschen "altbacken" aber nett ##### Markus Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Maria 18 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tito 14 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Tito Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### LUIS 2 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Rececionistas simpáticas.

Apesar da simpatia dos funcionários, são os pormenores que constroem uma boa estadia. Não se compreende a profusão de papeis A4 colados nas paredes dentro de micas amarrotadas, os cartões de acesso aos quartos em mau estado e com papeis colados (o custo de cada cartão é inferior a 0,50€…). Nos quartos, não se compreende a falta do diretório e menu de serviços, um WiFi sofrível, que não sejam disponibilizados roupões e chinelos e, o sabonete líquido e o shampoo a granel em dispensadores ordinários. Não se compreende que o acesso à piscina interior e ao snooker sejam pago (Em mais de 30 anos de viagens, esta foi inédita!), que a área da piscina exterior esteja com ar abandonado e que o SPA e o ginásio estejam encerrados sem que seja dada qualquer informação prévia. Não se compreende a falta de variedade do pequeno-almoço e que o suposto sumo de laranja seja um refrigerante. Não se compreende que seja anunciado um restaurante com sabores tradicionais e regionais, quando o serviço é num espaço de refeições partilhado, limitado a um prato de peixe e outro de carne. Enfim, não se compreende este nível de desatenção aos pormenores por quem gere o hotel. A seu favor, a área dos quartos e uma piscina interior que é, simplesmente, a melhor que até hoje conheci, mas mesmo assim, as desatenções continuam: Apenas 3 espreguiçadeiras para a totalidade dos hospedes… Ainda por cima espreguiçadeiras com colchão de espuma numa zona de alta temperatura e humidade? Onde andam as 4 estrelas? ##### Paulo Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 3 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Péssima recepção! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra 12 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel e SPA 5 estrelas Hotel agradável, pessoal muito simpático, e a piscina do SPA é muito boa, recomendo a quem queira passar uns momentos relaxantes em família. ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Rubén 22 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort En general el hotel está bien, usamos el spa y estuvo muy bien, el menú de cena nos gusto era muy completo, quizá por poner un pero el baño que nos tocó igual era un poco básico en comparación al resto del hotel. ##### Rubén Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Liliana 5 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bom Nada a apontar está tudo ok ##### Liliana Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Cristina 21 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Muito agradável Foi muito bom.
