The hotel offers stunning views of the Douro River, and the rooms are spacious with a nice balcony, which was a real treat. While I had some positive experiences, especially enjoying the spa services and the thoughtful complimentary river boat trip, the dining experience didn’t meet my expectations due to some disappointing food quality. Overall, it’s a decent stay but could improve in specific areas if you're looking for top-notch service and meals.
