The cigarette smell in my non-smoking room was quite disappointing, and the slippery terrace posed a safety concern.

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. However, I was bummed that the outdoor pool was closed during my visit; I expected it to be operational based on what I read. Still, I enjoyed the beautiful indoor pool, and the overall experience made up for the handful of hiccups.
