What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Culinary Delight

I had an very nice dining experience at the Clube Naval restaurant. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked, especially the prawns which were so good that I couldn't resist ordering them multiple times. The chef even came out to ensure everything was up to our expectations, something that really added a personal touch to our meal.

While the IT setup had minor issues at first, the staff quickly provided solutions, showing their dedication to ensuring our meetings went smoothly. The comfortable environment allowed us to focus on our discussions without distractions.

Comfortable Accommodations

I stayed in a modern two-bedroom apartment which was not only spacious but also well-equipped. The beds were comfortable, and coming back to a clean and tidy room in the afternoons made my stay even more enjoyable. The view from the balcony was amazing, an added bonus to the already fantastic room features.
