    • 2 top experiences, one with breakfast - we can have breakfast at any time during the day - and another with the checkout - the hotel let us be there the entire day (as they didn't have occupation for the room on the day we left)
    • Superb
    • It’s absolutely beautiful in in the middle of nowhere. I loved it! The breakfast is delicious! They also have a large air conditioned gym with a ton of equipment.

    Cons -

    • -
    • The restaurante space. A bit noisy. and tables close to each other.
    • We did go in the middle of the summer and the ac couldn’t keep up with the heat so that was a bummer. It’s not close to anything so the restaurant is limited on food options.

    Amazing locationDelicious breakfast without limit hourStaff is very nice and efficientVery convenient gymPeace and silence

    A/C at the bedroom was noisy and not much efficient The origins and connection of the property to row boats is very strong, but there isn’t a row boat to enjoy?

    10TiagoPosted on: 8-21-2023

    Beautiful building nicely decorated. Large and quiet swimming pool. Very large gymnasium and several sport activities free of charge (bicycles and standup paddle). Tasty breakfast.

    Staff was very kind but needs to be more professional. Restaurant is a bit expensive.

    10UnknownPosted on: 8-7-2023

    Excellent stay! We loved the rooms, service, people, setting. Perfect place to disconnect and get some real rest. Beautiful design and very very friendly staff. Delicious food both for breakfast and dinner with very nice service. Really loved it and would go back for sure!

    The path around the lake was less walkable than it first seems, but really was not a big issue.

    9PedroPosted on: 7-10-2023

    Location, food and comfort.

    Maybe its time for some maintenance in the building.

    10SofiaPosted on: 5-10-2023

    quiet, relaxing, cosy, with many outside spaces, beautiful pool, nice hikings, lies beautifully in the nature, excellent food and staff is extremely nice. fantastic accommodation, certainly to repeat

    9RaquelreisPosted on: 8-24-2022

    Everything was amazing, not having hours to take the breakfast when you are relaxing is a huge value.

    The quality of the bread in the hamburgers and sandwich for the quality of the hotel the bread should be fresh and it was dry.

    9PedroPosted on: 8-12-2022

    The pool area is very beautiful, the beach beds and the large pillows setting around the pool is charming

    The room windows and the restaurant windows need to be cleaned. Those windows have not been cleaned for a long while ?

    9CasimiroPosted on: 6-13-2022

    The amazing location, facilities and friendliness of the staff. The fact that cellular network is very weak.

    Service speed in the pool can be improved and quality of the Wi-Fi in the common areas in the building and rooms can be improved as well.

    8AleixoPosted on: 5-30-2022

    Very comfortable room, with a cute decoration. Great outdoor pool area and nice staff. Nice product offering in the room.

    Breakfast below expectations. The hotel's restaurant is too expensive for the type of service and food served. Little on offer in terms of wines.

    10ParisPosted on: 5-14-2022

    bedroom terrace, spacious bathroom, friendly staff and breakfast

    slightly overpriced for the area and facilities, also hadn’t realise the sports hire (paddle tennis) was an additional cost

    9MargaridaPosted on: 1-30-2022

    Beautifully integrated in the natural landscape. Great breakfast and dinner. very comfortable rooms and extremely friendly staff.

    10NunoPosted on: 10-18-2021

    Tranquillity, serenity and beauty of the entire space; Cleaning; Architecture; Food; Swimming pool; Gymnasium; The room beautifully decorated, welcoming and quiet. TOP, I will be back for sure! The perfect place to relax and rest

    Some of the restaurant staff didn't have enough knowledge and practice for that restaurant-level but were always very polite and sympathetic.

    9IanPosted on: 10-5-2021

    The location was ideal for us - very close to the motorcycle event that we were exhibiting at. Breakfast was the main meal that we consistently ate at the hotel and it was delicious and varied. The few dinners we had there were well prepared and presented and the service was of consistently high quality.

    Herdade da Cortesia is a very modernized hotel at the Maranhão Dam.The whole hotel is very well modernized and well equiped. The room was fantastic with all the modern decoration and equipment you could desire. Excellent TV, great WIFI coverage (through all the hotel), good bed, excellent bathroom, and every room has a Minibar, coffee machine, and an excellent balcony that in most cases has a great view.The Restaurant provides excellent food, with a fixed menu. Most of it consists of local dishes with some more "fine dining" twist, and it was very good. The deserts are also very good (try the Chocolate Mousse, it was traditional style with a very large portion).The breakfast is very well equipped and has a lot of dietary alternatives (for vegetarian people).The Hotel as an exterior infinity pool with a very decent size for the hotel. It has several sun loungers, and some puffs and mattresses you can use spread around. Hardly you will have issues having somewhere to sit.There are additional water sports services that you can take advantage, even though I didn't try.

    Nothing major.The massage service didn't seem to be running during part of our stay (weekdays). It seems somewhat misguided given it was in August.Even though the restaurant provides great food and some alternatives, it can be a bit expensive for the value provided.There was a "plague" of bees near the exterior part of the restaurant that were very troublesome. I don't usually have problems with insects and animals, but in this case it was a bit too much and the hotel should try to arrange some solution.(Maybe for next year you need to plant flowers in the grounds a bit away from the main building so the bees go there instead of the hotel itself?)

    Young staff. Not so well prepared.

    8BradPosted on: 7-30-2021

    Located in the wilds! Our mistake was using the hotel as a stop-over. Such a waste as there's loads to do. Staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. Strong ecological ethos, lovely infinity pool, subtle and charming decor throughout

    The air-conditioning in the bedroom was useless. Only 5 rooms have walk-in showers; ours was over a bath and very cramped
