First time in this lounge. It is not the best but by no means the worst I have had the pleasure of using.
There are plenty of seats, although you have to tell people that the seats are for people not for their bags...however precious they maybe.
There is a limited supply of food. This encompassed pastries, rolls and soup, how I craved a packet of crisps! The selection of liquid refreshments is good with all your standard hot beverages, would it kill them to add hot chocolate to the roster? The cold drinks are comprised of the usual suspects from the fizzy drinks world alongside Brahma (the Brazilian beer) some vodka, wine, whisky and a sparkling wine.
On entrance the staff tell you they do not announce flights and to check the screen. This is my bug bare they only have one screen to check on and it is located right next to the entrance door. So if you are sat at the far end up you get to go and check the screen, please get a couple more!! They have TV's on the wall but I have no idea what programmes were being shown or what language they were in. There was some reading material on offer but I think these were in Portuguese.
The rest room (I can only speak about the men's) could use a little freshen up and the locks on the cubicles well it might be good if they worked.
There is free wifi within the lounge however I found the airport free wifi covered the lounge and provided a better speed.
On the whole not the best and not the worst but as a weary traveller with 3 hours to kill the Smile lounge was a welcome place to get a comfy chair...as all travellers know being able to get a comfortable seat in an airport is like heaven itself if you have hours to kill between flights!! read more
