4 stars lol? 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.

Não merece as 4 estrelas...

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?

Gostaria de ter estado num hotel de 4 estrelas

Constantes deficiências para um hotel que se pretende de 4 estrelas. Quartos por arrumar até às 19 horas. Falta de profissionalismo da receção. Incapacidade para resolver problemas. Longas esperas na receção e no bar. Cartões eletrónicos para abertura dos quartos que não funcionavam. Dificuldade na reposição de alimentos ao pequeno-almoço e jantar. Piscina exterior mínima, sem espaço para colocar as toalhas ou as camas que eram em número de quatro e partidas, total falta de privacidade, pois era aberta para a rua.

Péssima

Péssimo. Reservámos uma suite com varanda pra duas noites e, à chegada ao hotel, não havia suites disponíveis. Acabámos por ficar uma noite num quarto com janela, outra, num com varanda. O autoclismo de um dos quartos estava avariado e a confusão/desorganização eram tais que uma funcionária nos entrou pelo quarto dentro invadindo a nossa privacidade. A acrescer a toda esta odisseia, há ainda a registar o modo como fomos atendidos à chegada. Catastrófico! A não repetir e de todo a recomendar. Porque para calibre de hotel de 4 estrelas, no minimo três, devem ter-se sumido no balneario da rainha.
