The main issue is that the hotel is 1.6 miles from the beach where the restaurants/bars etc are.
Breakfast was fine.
Pool is great.
Staff were super helpful.
Gym is outdated and running machines don’t work properly.

Perfect place for a relaxing getaway.
Very well kept hotel that is both close to the beach and to the medieval festival we were in town to visit. Wonderful restaurant within easy walking distance and the most amazing fabric store only 1.6 km to the north. Beautiful pool and pool area. Pancake machine at breakfast was a big hit with both children and adults. Loved the selection of fresh fruit on offer.

Muy buena experiencia. Nos dejaron entrar antes del horario, la habitación estaba limpia y cuando el aire no funcionó nos cambiaron enseguida a otra con mejor vista a la piscina y al jacuzzi, que los niños disfrutaron muchísimo. El desayuno variado, buena ubicación con restaurantes cerca y excelente atención del personal, (Gracias Celso por tu amabilidad y en especial de Celso. Hotel tranquilo e ideal para familias.

La estancia ha sido muy buena, las habitaciones tenian camas muy grandes, aunque se nota que necesitan algo de mantenimiento, habia alguna humedad en el techo, los grifos no tenian mucha presion, pero en general todo muy correcto por el precio que pague. El personal super amable, tienen una piscina grande que no pudimos usar por el mal tiempo, pero nos facilitaron el uso del jacuzzi con el niño para que pudiera bañarse, ya que tenia agua caliente. El buffet del desayuno muy bueno, acorde con lo pagado es de buena calidad, aunque a ultima hora se hecha de menos que repongan los alimentos. Muy recomendable, aunque esmoriz no es una zona para nada turistica ni atractiva, pero esta cerca de oporto.

Hotel com muito potencial mas mal aproveitado
Contras:
- A senhora que fez o check-in demorou para aparecer e quando apareceu atendeu o telemóvel e saiu para ter uma conversa pessoal enquanto eu fiquei à espera
- A cama King size que tem no anuncio são duas camas de solteiro (colchão pouco confortável) encostadas, ficando um foço a meio ao mínimo movimento
- O quarto não estava limpo quando entrei, tinha lixo no caixote, um sabonete no chuveiro e uma cigarra dentro do quarto que resolveu cantar de madrugada
- Para a tomada na mesinha de cabeceira funcionar é preciso ter o candeeiro aceso, por isso, é preciso escolher entre carregar o telemóvel ou dormir de luz apagada
Prós:
- Pequeno almoço com varias opções e fazem reposição da maioria das cosias quando acaba
- Boa piscina e jacuzzi
- Quarto espaçoso e com bom AC
- Tirando a senhora que me recebeu o restante pessoal era muito simpático
