If want to top up your tan, you might want to head out to beach near Douro Marina, located 2.5 mi (4 km) from central Vila Nova de Gaia. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Matosinhos Beach, Lavadores Beach, and Ingleses Beach.
"The water flow for the toilet stopped late in the night to the morning and we were not able to flush the toilet. The young girl at the snack bar was so rude and unattached to her job. It's unbearable. The lady of the checking account was very nice. Please tell your people not to recommend anyone going to that restaurant down the street. They called the police on us because we didn't want to pay for the raw fish that they served us. Everything else was wonderful, clean and perfect for one overnight stay."
"Clean room, very spacious room and comfy bed. Pool and spa were also great! The bar upstairs was great for an evening view dinner. Staff were super helpful helping us with a later checkout before our flight."
"All around great property. The only downside is no parking. But there is public parking nearby. You can buy 48 hour passes and come and go without paying each time. Breakfast was awesome."
"The hotel was in walking distance to the tourist areas and parking was especially easy. The parking garage is 32 Euro, but it has security and is a very well lit parking garage and connects with the hotel. The hotel staff was friendly and check in was a breeze. The room was clean and spacious. Great place to bring kids as there are a lot of things like ping pong and a pool table near the lobby. I especially liked that they had a washer and dryer in the hotel. I would definitely stay there again."
"We loved our quick stay here! They were super kind and stowed our bags since we arrived early. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and helpful. They allowed us to check in a tiny bit early which we were very appreciative of. The breakfast was perfect. Highly recommend just eating the breakfast there because we tried to find an open cafe and options were limited."
"Fantastic hotel with excellent facilities, it has all, bar, restaurant, gym, the best buffet breakfast and outstanding service, delicious food, and a perfect location. Everything exceeded our expectations, and the staff made our stay truly enjoyable. Highly recommended!"
"Amazing stay once again, we were there in 2024 as well and if we come back at Porto this hotel will definitely be our choice again. Thank you for everything."
