Without having any preconceptions, I really liked this hotel. We were only due to stay 2 nights, but I left feeling I'd like to come back and stay for a week or so, sampling all of the facilities and generally just relaxing, not to mention visiting Argentina and Paraguay.
I didn't find it noisy at all - certainly not after Rio. In fact, it had a very pleasant sort of family vibe - and we didn't even have any kids with us.
The decor, the abilities of the staff, the food and the grounds and pool were all spot-on. The bathroom was good - with an excellent long bath for six-footers like me.
We threw the (obviously new) waitress in the bar into a panic by asking for a kir royale - hey, it was on the menu. But she recovered well, and became a force to be reckoned with when opening the wine we ordered in the restairant the following night. Ludicrously over-elaborate, but quite good fun - in the UK, you get the bottle opened and plonked on your table (which is fine by me). None of this business with decanters and holding a naked flame under the bottle.
Mabu Thermas - strongly recommended.
