Douro Litoral Beach Holidays

So first impression on the room wasn’t to favorable. Had medication that needed to be refrigerated, could Not get the fridge open. Tried to call front desk, phone didn’t work. So we went back downstairs (after a very long delayed flight, we weren’t really in the mood ). So the front desk said nothing they could do but if it made us a feel better they had complaint’s before. Then the bartender Lily, came up and said let’s get this resolved. She went upstairs with us and pulled the fridge right out of its cabinet, which actually helped and it worked. We just had to live around it being in the middle of the floor. There was zero space for clothes, no dresser, undersized side tables. The shower had mold In the grout and edges. But the beds were clean and comfortable and we made do. The breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast, same things everyday. The restaurant on the other hand was not good at all. Ordered two burgers that came raw. No one came back to check so we tried to eat them. Didn’t work. When person did come we were told that’s the way they are served. So we still were charged for $30 for something inedible. The pool was great, the fact you couldn’t use towels for the beach was a bummer. But the area is perfect and just a few hiccups. Like I said we managed. I would return but with a scrub brush for the tub walls.

Nice beach location and pool area, with excellent restaurant. Water pressure in room was low.

Great all around.

The hotel is centrally located in the heart of downtown Porto. A 5min walk from the metro station and close to all amenities. Room was exceptionally clean and had air conditioning. No laundry services onsite but available nearby.
