Best Hotels near Monumento as Ceifeiras (Borba), Alcacovas

Bellissimo hotel nel centro di Evora...un po' difficile da raggiungere in auto per via delle stradine strette del paesino ma dispone comunque di un parcheggio auto interno. Personale gentilissimo, parla fluentemente inglese. Sono stati molto carini all'accoglienza e si sono offerti di prenotarci il ristorante in città per noi. Camera spaziosa, fresca e pulita. Con cassaforte, aria condizionata, frigobar e angolo caffè con macchinetta a capsule. Posizione molto comoda per girare a piedi il centro di Evora. Davvero consigliato

We loved this hotel. Stayed here with my 18 year old daughter for one night on our way to the Algarve. It was lovely. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. The pool is perfect and food excellent. The service was excellent as well. Only one small problem- ants in the bathroom. I reported this to the staff and they apologized and thanked me and said they would take care of it. They also recommended an excellent restaurant for dinner nearby.

What I liked: 1. When I first walked in … my impression was ‘Wow’. A sleek and modern lobby and a open concept restaurant really made the place look amazing. 2. While I didn’t use the pools. There were a lot of choices. I think there were 4 pools and they all looked nice. 3. The included dinner at the hotel restaurant with my Globus tour was more the same type of meal I could get in North America. I generally want to try the local cuisine. However, there was a lot of choice with the buffet and a very pleasant experience. The breakfast the next morning also had a lot of variety 4. The rooms were clean and modern What could be improved/didn’t like: 1. The check-in at this hotel needs a lot of work, especially when dealing with bus tours. However, I think a lot of their business are bus tours since I noticed a very large parking lot with several buses next door. We went to our room and discovered it didn’t have two twin beds. This was a communication problem with Globus and spoke to our tour guide after this issue. We phoned reception and told them the situation. We asked for someone to come to the room because it seemed to be a long walk to get back to reception. After about 10 minutes, someone arrived from reception and walked us to the new room. We weren’t too thrilled since it was directly in front of this “wall of heat’ that we passed by when getting off the elevator. The new room also had a lousy view compared to the first one that overlooked the pool. We specifically asked the reception person to make sure that are luggage comes to the new room. She told us not to worry, but sometimes it takes a bit of time. We waited for more than 40 minutes and then thought – maybe they sent our luggage to the old room. I went back and it wasn’t there. We called reception and finally got our luggage more than an hour after checking in. This time there was somewhat of an apology since it was the same reception person who said it would be sent to the new room. She admitted that she forgot, and we respected her honesty. Originally, she seemed annoyed when taking us to the new room and only seemed concerned about whether we used the washroom in the old room. When we met people from the tour and told them about the situation, they said there is a ton of luggage in a small back room that hasn’t been delivered. This lack of organization and efficiency took one hour of out of our vacation time. 2. The front of the hotel is glass and looks very modern. But when you pass by the corridors that are in the front of the hotel facing the street versus the back facing the pool – the temperature is so hot it is noticeable. I think the hotel tried to put some type of additional wall to block the heat. However, it isn’t enough and there needs to be more air conditioning in the corridors to keep the place at a proper temperature.
