I booked 2 nights at the hotel as I had drinks there on my last trip to Cascais and it was so nice, I promised to return. Some things can always be ignored but for a highly rated hotel that has no problem charging high rates for B&B and drinks etc, it falls short on more than a few areas. Too much furniture in the bedroom (random sofa bed), poor quality balcony furniture, small bathroom, broken serving dishes at breakfast, pool area badly managed with towels, glasses and unfinished food left uncleared and loungers untidy. THe location is great and some of the staff is very nice but some at the front desk never had a greeting, or made eye contact. The hotel is trading on its location and a once good name, but needs some attention.
