    Restaurant is NOT a 5 star.

    Amenities are nice. 5 star hotel would have people waiting outside to help with bags and offer drinks, and other details for instance.

    Personnel at reception is very slow and not professional. Place is overcrowded, service at the restaurant is super slow. The amenities in the room are poor: no hair conditioner in the shower, no tea in the room, no alcohol in the mini bar. Overcrowded with kids.

    Spa is great, pools are really nice and it is located in a great place

    There were construction works in the same tower we stayed, strong smells of paint, I asked for different room, but they said are fully occupied ( I saw little people around). Also, it has a bad smell in the reception, and the buffet menu doesn’t have good variety.

    Spacious apartment, quiet location, new facilities, pool and kids area.

    The bathrooms in the room had glass doors, which don’t allow you any privacy. The bed wasn’t comfortable.

    It’s a new and very beautiful hotel with a breathtaking view and a well trained staff.

    For a 5-star hotel, the layout of the bedroom could be better for a family with kids (the bed for the kids could be better (instead of sofa-bed). Price of the Buffet is expensive when comparing to restaurants in the city.

    Everything was great! Excellent service, great room size, beautiful facilities and green area, great indoor pool, awesome breakfast. We didn’t use the outdoor pools (winter season) but they are nice.

    As a mature couple who travel a lot, this hotel is aimed at families with small children and young couples. Not really for us, rather noisy at breakfast and pool full of children.

    Easy parking, good location for Sintra, you do require a car as out in quite location. Great view of Sintra Palace.

    Good, could've been better

    Our bed had dust bunnies below it. There should be a disclaimer that you need shower caps for the indoor pool and Jacuzzi. And that if you don't have one, its 5€. There could've been more towels available in the room as well as an extra blanket in case its colder than usual. It feels like although you pay for your stay, many things cost extra, which isn't disclaimed before. Also having to schedule a time to go to the indoor pool is just silly and the same with the dinner. If I want to go, I should be able to go whenever I want. I paid for it. I know these are small things, but it takes away from the overall experience. Also the staff at the reception told us if we have any questions to just call reception. I tried and nobody picked up. For last, and this is in no way the hotels fault, but the room next to ours had a weed smoker. Which I'm okay with in general, but when I opened the balcony door at 7AM, the only thing i could smell was the weed and not the fresh Sintra air.

    Staff was amazing, room was comfortable with a great view, indoor pool was nice and Jacuzzi as well. The food was really good, never ate Pesto Gouda before and it was so nice. I quite enjoyed it. Maybe a once a year vacation with the spouse

    Safety issues- some paint/plastic was scrapped off from the water slide in the kids pool and we got a serious cut in the elbow- I told the staff but she didn’t take it very seriously. No view in the family room
