The rooms are spacious and the view is fantastic (I stayed on the 5th floor). VERY pleasant helpful staff -- especially Luis and Bruna -- but really everyone, from the chamber maids to maintenance and reception, dining hall and management were great!

The hotel is a bit away from the center of town (>30 minutes walk, a 20 real taxi, and a much cheaper bus, which I have never tried).

The buffet in the dining hall was good and tasty, especially the dessert table :)
