Turim Presidente Hotel

"Second time staying here, and really enjoyed the hotel. It is spotlessly clean, well maintained and in a really good, quiet location. It is very quiet at night so had a week of undisturbed sleep. Had a smaller room this year, but still plenty of space for the week. The main pool is small, but quiet with good sun beds and regular bar service. The gym is small, but good equipment, plenty dumb bells, rack, smiths machine and ergs. We only ate breakfast there. Our only issue was the long queues at breakfast for one of the two coffee machines, the queues were up to 8 or 9 people long at times. Breakfast was so busy until about 8.15am, we waited until then, but often some breakfast items were all gone. Reception staff were great, notably Hugo who was always so professional and helpful on the 2 occassions we contacted reception. We didnt use the minibar, in our opinion it was not needed and very expensive."

"I was quite disappointed with the quality of the food served. I expected a pleasant experience consistent with the advertised level of service, but unfortunately the food offering fell far short of expectations. The meals showed little variety, lack of freshness and, on several occasions, a lack of care in preparation and presentation. Some dishes were cold, tasteless and without adequate replenishment, even during normal service hours. In addition, I noticed little attention to the needs and satisfaction of guests regarding food. I consider the quality of food to be an essential element of a stay and, in this case, it ended up negatively affecting the overall experience. I sincerely hope that this comment will be taken into consideration and that future improvements can be made to the catering service."

"The hotel is clean. The dinner buffet does not offer much variety with limited hot choices. Soups were generally good. Salad bar was virtually the same every night. After 10 says you get tired of the same food. The hostess and wait staff are great. Check-in was easy especially since we were a tour group of 28 people. Location is a bit remote. Its a good walk to get to shops and restaurants. No nearby super market or restaurants. You gave to walk 10 - 15 minutes to shops and restaurants. Hotel bar is open from 10 am onwards. They have an activity coordinator who has afternoon activities planned. Nice pool but not enough lounge chairs."
