Lovely hotel with a very nice pool and good breakfast. Excellent service, the front desk always knew our names. Bartenders were attentive and skilled at mixology. Would recommend!

Great hotel in a great location
This hotel, with a charming exterior, is all class inside. The rooms are well kept, as are the common areas. The breakfast buffet is tasty and well stocked, and the in-house restaurant a fine Portuguese dining experience. This would be wonderful hotel regardless of location, but to find it within walking distance to Praia de Esposende was a bonus.

Excellent Value for money
Hotel is good value for money, clean and the staff are friendly, helpful and speak very good English which helps as my Portuguese is non existent. Breakfast is ok, bar and restaurant is excellent. Location is good for water sports and the beach with white sands is a 5 minute walk away along the sea front. Not much else in the locality to do for children to keep them entertained but the hotels pool may help.

Superb hotel in Esposende
Fantastic hotel. Very accommodating and welcoming staff. The room was very clean and always lots of hot water. A simple but very tasty breakfast with sufficient choice. Located in a beautiful area close to bud station, shops and beach. I will definitely return to this hotel.

Absolutely awaful from checking in to everything else. our room was dirty, other peoples hairs on our pillow. Only the restaurant was good. The pool had unlawful subtances in it, damaging everyones swim wear. my daughter was distorted, four swimsuits ruined. Even her face mask the waiter throw in the rubbish. We are suing them for compensation.

Bedroom was lovely , curtain was half hanging so had to have it fixed, this was quickly remedied but still slightly hanging. Staff were friendly which was refreshing as we haven’t found this to be the case in many of our hotels whilst in Portugal. Amenities in room very poor. No drinking water and no coffee/ tea facilities.. sound insulation very poor. Didn’t eat in the restaurant but it looked nice and neither did we use the pool but it too looked great. Good location .

Great place to stay on the Camino.
We were upgraded to a seaview room on check in and given « gifts » ( a diary and a pouch for a phone). Both of these were appreciated and appropriate as we were walking the Camino. It was nice to sit on our balcony and watch the sun go down. The staff was lovely. Friendly and smiling. The hotel was nicely appointed and I would have loved a swim but as the pool is outside it was a bit early in the season. The bed was comfortable and I liked the choice of pillows. Dinner was very good and so was breakfast. Overall a lovely stay. It was also good to know that after a good night sleep we only needed to cross the road to find the Camino again,

I used to go to the beach in Esposende when I was a kid so decided to stay at this hotel because of being close to the beach. I’ve known the hotel for ages but it was nicer than expected. Really enjoyed it and might be back another time.

Suitably convenient to our walking route
Good value overall but not excellent. Staff efficient but distant, even slightly unfriendly. No eye contact. No smiles. No easy conversation. Pool area excellent. Room very comfortable Breakfast:- good range of food but hot options, eggs, bacon etc tepid only. Also poor quality watery orange juice in a country dripping in oranges. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay.

Very nice hotel
All in all the hotel is really pretty, rooms comfortable and cleaned every day. Staff in general were ok, some really nice and others not so welcoming. Swimming pool area is very nice with enough sun beds for all. The only let down for us was the hotel's restaurant. It's generally overpriced. We loved the shrimp starter but my husband's main course of pork was horrible. There are much better restaurants in Esposende.
