The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The property and facilities were so nice. It would be hard not to enjoy this place and to totally disconnect and relax. ##### Alexandria Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward Jul 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was our first stay at Douro Palace and as we arrived and parked up we were amazed with location and appearance of the site. We were really pleased with the welcome we received and then when we arrived at our room, which we had booked with a river view, were amazed with the view - we’d really recommend a river view room. We enjoyed the outdoor pool that was available 24 hours with a bar open in the daytime. We ate both nights we stayed at the restaurant which had really good portion sizes and the food quality was impeccable. The breakfast had a really good selection too and was all of very high quality. We’ll be sure to recommend Douro Palace to anyone we know is visiting the area! We did realise it’s a bit of a drive for the main, well known, wineries and boat trips but the quality of the hotel made that a ‘not problem’! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/75e2faff-ae95-4986-bfc6-d8fbbf1d23ed-1751631036954.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1a253892-a2df-4050-9086-b46d46a9c965-1751631043506.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsey Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Go here!

Great check-in. Very poor restaurant service, which looks like it was attributable to insufficient, properly trained staff. One excellent waiter running up and down stairs trying to run both bar and restaurant floor. ##### Laurence Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Casino New Brunswick](https://www.expedia.ca/Moncton-Hotels-Casino-New-Brunswick.h3747980.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterpark Hotels in Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas-Hotels-Waterpark-Hotels.0-0-d180032-tWaterparkHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d42-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Motels Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Motels.d602873-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels.d4054.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western River North Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chicago-Hotels-Best-Western-River-North-Hotel.h17227.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Calgary Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Calgary-Airport.h3520670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Atlanta (ATL) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/atl/lax/atlanta-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/gla/edmonton-to-glasgow) > > [Flights from Munich (MUC) to Milan (MXP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/muc/mxp/munich-to-milan) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Medicine Hat (YXH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yxh/edmonton-to-medicine-hat) > > [Singapore Airlines Vancouver (YVR) to Dhaka (DAC) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/singapore-airlines-from-vancouver-intl-to-shahjalal-intl/sq/yvr/dac) > > [Flights from Amman (AMM) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/amm/yeg/amman-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yhz/toronto-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Thiruvananthapuram (TRV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/trv/toronto-to-thiruvananthapuram) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yyz/victoria-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Mohali (IXC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ixc/vancouver-to-chandigarh) > > [flights from jinnah intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/khi/flights-from-jinnah-intl-airport) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Fort-Lauderdale-Hollywood-Intl.d5000262.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Alaska](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Alaska.d203.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Activities > [Things to do in Richmond Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Richmond-Hill.d6176.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Blackcomb Excalibur Gondola](https://www.expedia.ca/Blackcomb-Excalibur-Gondola-Whistler-Village.d6155754.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Vancouver Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver.d178315.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Magaluf](https://www.expedia.ca/Calvia-Magaluf.dx182343) > > [Visit Keswick](https://www.expedia.ca/Keswick.dx4371) > > [Visit Deer Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Deer-Lake.dx3920) > > [Visit Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas.dx180032)
