Excelente estadia
Excelente estadia com um quarto espaçoso, pequeno almoço muito saboroso e um bom spa. No entanto, é de salientar que devido a algum tipo de falha, tanto a internet como a televisão não funcionavam e o hotel precisa seriamente de manutenção pois toda a mobília e carpetes se encontram visivelmente em mau estado.

Restrictive breakfast options for vegans
A good stay, the staff was very friendly. Breakfast can be improved. Not many options for a vegan. As easy fix whit all vegan items that are available and very common that can replace "common" dairy products, from milk, butter or cheese.

We had a great time. With the nice weather we spent most time on the outside swimming pool but have also used the Spa a couple of times and really enjoyed. Staff was friendly. The internet signal was a bit hit and miss in the room. We will be back.

Beautiful modern hotel in lovely location
Our experience at the Tempus Hotel & Spa was wonderful - great rooms, a good spa (though no treatments available on the days that we stayed) and a great restaurant. The rooms are large and the bathroom equipped with a multi jet "spa style" shower arrangement. The beds are comfortable - and my wife just loved the pillows. The best night sleep that she's had for some time. There are two swimming pools - one inside and one out doors. The surrounding area is grassed over. The hotel is set in the countryside -so no road noise and pleasantly sedate. We dined at the Tempus restaurant on one of our two nights there. A great selection of dished and wines. Good food and great service. Will definitely consider returning again.

Not a Relaxing Day at the Spa
We were expecting a relaxing stay at a spa, and what we received was a disappointing stay at a mediocre family resort. I don't expect noisy kids to be splashing me at a spa hotel marketed as calm and relaxing. Though the hotel ad seems to emphasize its zen aesthetic, there is nothing zen about screaming children. Inside, the spa facilities were adequate for a very small number of people, and were eventually activated for us after several calls to reception and a long wait on hold. Throughout the hotel, the white wash decor was marked and dirty in many places, showing dire need for a fresh coat of paint. The chair outside our room was broken, and the maintenance staff found it more convenient to lean it up against the wall to hide its defect than to remove it. The air-conditioning in the room was extremely weak, and automatically shut-off when we left the room; the curtains were broken; and the room was cleaned, inconveniently, from 5PM to 6PM daily. Room service food was unpalatable, and the one time we ordered a drink poolside, we discovered after a 30 minute wait that the lone bartender had to travel from inside the hotel bar on the second floor all the way outside to the pool on the first floor, for every order that he filled. It was 42 degrees celsius outside! Understaffing was an obvious problem, and I never once saw a manager who was managing. Do not stay at this resort if you are looking for a romantic stay, or a calm and relaxing few days at the spa.

Lovely location
Beautiful room with patio poolside. Lovely grounds and setting. Beautiful dining room. Needs a fitness room and more spa activities. Few staff speak English- dining room staff seemed untrained. Excellent manager but need more English speaking staff to attract more Americans. Gentleman in the bar was very helpful to us in Organizing glassware and cheese platter to have in our room.
