Great stay, would say it’s a 4 star over a 5 star. There was a few attention to detail that were overlooked. Toilet by the pool messy and out of toilet roll, not checked regularly enough. Decking area in the pool bar needed jet washing. Some of the sun loungers needed an upgrade due to being stretched. It’s the little details that make Hotels 5 star. This was lacking a few of them. However overall a great Hotel, good location. Staff very good and all really friendly. Would have been nice to have been able to dine in both restaurants on the all inclusive even if you only offered one night in the Tapas restaurant so you could try it. Rooms are ready for an upgrade but entrance area and restaurant are lovely. Worth a visit!

Disappointing Stay at NAU Sao Rafael Suites

While the bedrooms at NAU Sao Rafael certainly offered a generous amount of space, unfortunately, the quality of the accommodations left much to be desired. The balcony doors proved to be a daily struggle, stiff and difficult to manoeuvre. Stepping onto the balcony itself was equally unappealing, as it was noticeably dirty and showed signs of disrepair, with elements appearing to be falling apart. Inside, the poor quality continued with the beds. One side of our bed had a significant structural issue, causing a noticeable slope that made for an uncomfortable night's sleep. Adding to this discomfort were the pillows, which offered virtually no support. When I raised this issue with the front desk, I was simply informed that no alternative pillows were available, which was quite disappointing. The bathrooms, while spacious, lacked any form of ventilation, the in-room fridge was out of order, with a freezer door that wouldn't close properly, resulting in any refrigerated items becoming frozen solid. The pools were indeed large, but sadly, they also suffered from poor quality. The sun loungers were filthy, and a number were broken. The pools were dirty, which deterred us from taking a swim. The food offered was of acceptable quality, although the repetitive nature of the meals became tiresome. On occasion, the fruit selection appeared to have been sitting for an extended period, becoming soggy and unappetising. The desserts, however, were a pleasant exception.

We enjoyed our stay and would consider returning. Positives: good location, great spacious rooms in the sea view suite, fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff were friendly and helpful. Shuttle runs to town free of charge. Only negatives are: Not all-inclusive, only small selection of standard drinks and 2/3 cocktails. Paid entry into a small indoor pool, 4 person hot tub and sauna facilities. Gym is tiny but modern, fits about 2/3 people. A little smell in the rooms we believe from drains, although other than that super clean and smells lovely in hallways. Relatively expensive massages for what you get.

I booked this hotel based on the "all-inclusive" description as advised by Expedia. Upon arrival, I was notified that the all-inclusive option was not part of the offer, as "all-inclusive" was simply the name of the hotel! The manager advised that if we wanted the all-inclusive package—which is not usually offered during this peak time—an exception could be made at an additional charge per day. I expressed my concern about this being misleading advertising, and the manager stated that Expedia would need to be contacted regarding the misrepresentation. Can you please advise?
