Octant Evora

Fantastisk frukostbuffé

It is a beautiful property. However, if you are not staying here with small children you may be disappointed. The hotel clearly markets itself as very child and family friendly, and it has dedicated children’s areas that are very close to main areas such as the dining room. As a result it is not peaceful in many areas of the property. Even dedicated adult swimming pool hours in the spa are not respected by guests with their children. And the dining room at dinner was not at all peaceful. They should work toward separating the noise from main areas, as they have plenty of space. Also, one should avoid Room 207 as it is adjacent to the housekeeping staging area and one can hear noises of the linen carts throughout the day.

Overall this is a beautiful property with the potential to be a wonderful resort, but they just aren’t sure yet what they want to be. They advertise as a tranquil, quiet escape, but they also cater to families. While we were there the place was completely overrun with screaming children. And inattentive parents. There was no where to go on property that was peaceful or quiet, including the spa, They have rules for kids (limited hours in the pool) but they are not enforced so it was difficult, (impossible) for adults to use the pool. The lobby bar area was overrun with families on Saturday night so there was no where to go to have an adult dinner (the dining room was full with families and kids running around). I love kids, but was looking for a peaceful two day getaway. I hope they can figure out a way to accommodate everyone on this lovely property.

Fantastic stay. Amazing place for families with small kids. We’ll come back.

Hotel impecável
