Amazing family time

Review of CDesign Hotel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Nov 15, 2023via mobile
The location was perfect in front of the beach, the staff were all very friendly and polite.
Breakfast with plenty of variety and we felt safe because the hotel provides a lot of security.
They effectively have a good customer focus.

I should just point out that the pool is not suitable for those with children, but you can always relax on the sofas by the pool.
Date of stay: November 2023
Room Tip: On Saturday and Sunday everything is very busy, if you have children it is best to plan...
Trip type: Travelled with family

This is the first time in my traveling life that i am disgusted by a hotel.
It looks stunning on pictures and is beachfront but that said, it was a horrible experience.
First check in :
Check in was slow and completely unprofessional.
One of the employees was in fact very rude, the other completely incompetent.
The view from the ( not so clean) room was not as suggested by the hotels pictures.
Poolsite closed in the morning and after check out you cannot enter.
We had a 3 pm departure and i asked to drink/eat something at the rooftop bar : not allowed.
I tried to take contact with a responsible manager, instead i got 2 bodyguards kicking me out.
Employees speak very bad english, rarely communication possible if tou don t speak portuguese.
Everywhere totaly worthless bodyguards, pretending they are a top notch hotel.
In fact, it is the most worthless hotel i have after stayed in. ( and i travel a lot)
Booked through booking.com, gave them a bad review that is never published.
Absolutely to AVOID !

The hotel staff were amazing and very helpful. Although I speak a little to no Portuguese, they were able to assist in English. Carolina was so patient with us as we tried to order dinner. João was very hospitable as well and his greeting made me feel safe, welcome and at peace. Will def stay again. Highly recommended. Complimentary beach chairs great! Ocean balcony view even better. Complimentary breakfast icing on the cake.

An amazing hotel! I had a room in front of the sea. The view is terrific. The wifi was often bad and the room could be cleaner. Excellent breakfast. A special thanks to Carolina, Carolina who checked me in and took care of my stay in an excellent way!

From check in to check out, everything was seamless. Upon entry, we were greeted by Bruno Barbosa. Handsome, intelligent, fluent in English, as well as the entire Front Desk Staff was. He welcomed us to the hotel so graciously. Check in was quick and easy. By the next day we were being called by our first names, and ALWAYS greeted with a warm smile. Shout outs to João, Ricardo, and the other 2 Bruno’s. Another shout out to Manolo with his quick wit, and easy going personality. Great place to stay. Housekeeping could have been a little better, and they should find another vendor for their coffee.

Room tip: As in any busy city, always be aware of your surroundings.
