the service was excellent and the location is perfect

nothing

The breakfast was exceptional. Not your run of the mill buffet type, but rather a real multi-course seated affair. Every day you experience a large variety of small plates of sweet and savory items in addition to at least three different flavors of fresh, squeezed juice. The Hotel location is very convenient right off of the main road with tons of restaurants and elegant shopping right at your doorstep. The hotel staff were very polite and helpful and a few of them spoke enough english to communicate with us non-portugese speaking guests. The front desk manager (Im sorry I forgot her name now) was exceptionally helpful and her english was excellent. She helped us with reservations for activities and taxis etc. Thanks very much to her for all of her help.

Nothing really. When we were staying at the hotel, there was a lot of noisy construction in the building across the street. Not the Modevies fault of course and probably ended by now anyway.
