Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms offering great comfort and value for money. The service was friendly and polite, making my experience even more enjoyable. The location was ideal for a relaxing break, although the beach access directly behind the hotel was limited. The dining options were good overall, with a variety of choices, but there were some minor drawbacks. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall experience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel - the rooms were smaller than expected and pretty hot upon arrival, but they were clean, comfortable, and had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool and ocean. The friendly staff made my stay enjoyable, although there were some uncooperative moments. The location, right on the beach with a scenic 15km boardwalk, was perfect for a relaxing break, despite not being close to some amenities. The dining options, although a bit repetitive, offered a good selection but lacked some variety in hot breakfast items. The facilities were alright, but some were available at an extra cost.
I found the hotel to be in a great location, right along the seafront with the beach just steps away. The rooms, although lacking a coffee and tea making facility, were spacious and functional, providing ample storage and a king-size bed. The service, especially from Francisco at the reception, was attentive and friendly. The wait at breakfast was a bit long, but the dining options were fantastic. Overall, a wonderful stay with minor inconveniences.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with great sea views towards Espinho, albeit slightly dated decor. The staff is very polite and helpful, ensuring a pleasant and reasonably efficient service experience. The location provides easy access to the boardwalk along the dunes and a short journey to Porto, but there were some minor oversights in cleaning. The dining options are varied and generous, with a good spread to enjoy. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement in certain areas.
Although the hotel is in a lovely location by the sea with spa and wellness facilities, the service can be a bit careless at times. The rooms, while spacious and with ample storage, have an outdated bathroom. The dining experience offers a good variety of freshly replenished food but could be unpredictable with item availability.
