The food was excellent and natural. Excellent platters of cheeses and soups. They deliver it to your room which is so convenient especially when you are done with your camino and your legs are in pain so that was convenient. The pool is so amazing with the hot tub, I had some good rest.

Precisa de obras para ficar a valer as 4 estrelas, maioria das divisões estão velhas, carpetes dos quartos são velhas e pequeno almoço fraquinho, para o preço por noite, fica caro comparar o preço com a qualidade. Chão muito velho a volta da piscina e perigoso. De resto tem potencial para 5 estrelas com algum investimento , staff muito amável e prestável.

Good location close to the Coastal Camino. General facilities were good. My room had a couple of walk areas that looked wet from water leak. Room service did not make my room till after 4pm I asked the front desk to make it at 3pm and was waiting in their gym for it to be made. 4pm and it’s still not made. Quite unusual.

The location is amazing (although a car is highly recommended) and the staff is very nice and helpful. The breakfast is ok (it has variety and acceptable quality), lunch could be better (I only had lunch once though) and the dinner was too expensive for me. About the room I stayed, there were a lot of stains on the carpet and ocasional unwanted dust but it was comfy and pleasant overall. The spa works as it was supposed to.
