My stay at the hotel was quite the experience. While I enjoyed the modern facilities and the well-maintained pool, I was frustrated by the lackluster dining options and some maintenance issues in the room. The staff was helpful, but the location was a bit far from the main attractions, requiring more traveling. Overall, it was a mixed experience with high costs not fully justified by the quality.

I had a wonderfully enjoyable stay at this hotel. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it perfect for my family's wedding weekend. The rooms were quite comfortable and modern, and although there were some minor service issues initially, it all worked out well in the end. The dining experience was delightful, with a great variety of options. One downside was the location, as it was slightly outside the city center, which might be inconvenient for some guests.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the modern design and cleanliness of the facilities were impressive, I faced a few inconveniences during my stay, such as the lack of tea and coffee making facilities and the barking dog incident. In addition, the pricing for the restaurant felt excessive for what was offered. Overall, I appreciated some aspects of my stay but also found areas that need improvement.
Rooms

The rooms were on a high floor with modern amenities, but there was no real barrier for the bathroom, just a curtain.

Location

The hotel is slightly outside Braga, which required about a 40-minute walk to get into the city, but the surroundings are beautiful.
Dining

The meals were quite average and didn't justify the high prices, especially for dinner where the offerings were limited and not particularly tasty.
Facilities

The spa area is reserved for premium customers, and there are charges to access the indoor pool and steam room, which I found a bit disappointing.
