Avoid!
Hotel super dated, our room had a few damaged things, such as floor boards. The flush was a joke, basically not working. Hotel staff were not very helpful. Our room was not very clean and the pool was also dirty. I would never stay in this hotel again. The only positive thing about this place was the water pressure and location.

Friendly, but avoid if you can
The staff were very kind and helpful, but this is far from a four star hotel. The property is quite worn and could use a renovation. I also saw loose hairs in my room, the shower products looked expired, the shower head was rusted/molded and the shower itself looked like it was made of raw dry wall.

Localização e café da manhã são o ponto forte
Como é a quarta vez que me hospedo no Windsor Excelsior, sendo que a anterior foi em 2016 acho que está no hora de uma reforma no hotel... não dá mais para ter bidê no banheiro.
Mas o quarto é amplo, o café da manhã excepcional, a cama é espetacular e a localização perfeita.

The property is in a great location! Walking distance to beach, many restaurants and shops.
The room had many issues….mold in the bathroom, lights flickering, AC had to be fixed, outlets not working, key constantly needed to be reset, elevator doors close on you while walking in (to the point I have bruising), when staff would clean the room the floors were never swept and toliet paper not refilled.
Breakfast Buffett was ok nothing crazy, but overall the staff was GREAT. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
