I just had an amazing stay at Olissippo Lapa Palace, where the staff make you feel like royalty! The breakfast was a delicious highlight, featuring everything from custard tarts to savory croissants.

Still, I enjoyed the beautiful indoor pool, and the overall experience made up for the handful of hiccups.
