Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Excellent location with great atmosphere , especially over Easter. Super quiet room overlooking the garden at the back. Perfect for a rest on the Camino and recover for te push northwards. Only a few steps to the spectacular coast and if you tire then there is always the train.

Great staff / helpful, friendly, professional, Good food, Great location right in town, near stores, cafes, laundromats, and the beach. Since it's used a lot by hikers and pilgrims, they should have a drying room for hiking gear.

A really good hotel, with very helpful staff. Stayed here as part of a Rambler's Holiday over the Christmas period. The room and bathroom were of an adequate size for 2 people and were cleaned daily to a high standard. The breakfasts were excellent with a good buffet to choose from. The two evening buffets served on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were excellent and catered for vegetarians. Centrally situated in Vila Praia very close to the main square, shops and restaurants. A short walk to the railway station and sea front.

Noisy bedroom doors closing at night. Hot breakfast only tepid. Uninspiring view from window. Not very comfortable pillows. However, well situated for beach and restaurants, friendly staff (one member of bar staff particularly helpful and friendly), good temperature control of a/c, efficient WiFi. Altogether, probably more positives than negatives.

Adequate but some frustrating niggles: 1. Too much dark furniture in the room made it feel cramped. 2. Ridiculous number of light fittings and confusing switches. Standard lamp was literally a waste of space and - worryingly - the socket appeared to have been condemned as unsafe. 3. Bathroom layout very difficult if two of you wishing to use at the same time. Position of toilet roll meant one had to be proficient at yoga to use! 4. Wardrobe doors very annoying; constantly need to slide to and fro to access anything. Also, very dark wood meant it was difficult to find anything in the wardrobe. 5. Alcove between door and wardrobe would have been ideal for hanging outdoor coats/jackets - if only there had been some hooks. 6. Annoying to return in the afternoon (2 days out of 6) and find that the cleaner had removed the power card from the slot. Reception provided a replacement, but it was annoying nonetheless. Also, on check-out day our key-card was locked out at 11:40 a.m. (check-out is 12:00 noon and we had popped out for last-minute walk around the town before finalising packing and vacating the room). 7. Breakfast buffet was nice. Buffet evening meals provided on 24th and 25th December were quite nice but not special. 8. Staff were friendly and helpful. 9. Very convenient location.

Great Price, can cater for all solo, families, pets. Relaxing and comfortable. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. Innes is fab in the spa. One negative the staff smoking area is clearly just outside the doors of the spa changing rooms as they smell of smoke.

In accordance with our sustainability policy and so as not to waste energy, the temperature of the air conditioning is regulated and for it to work the window must remain closed. However, in order to check if it is a fault, we encourage guests to report the situation to our front office in order to solve the problem. We regret that your stay did not meet your expectations.

The staff was super friendly and charming. They helped us a lot with tips and advices. The sauna was super nice and because of the off season very private. The location was perfect. We just had to walk two minutes to the beach and the surf school - fabulous. After long cycling days we enjoyed the luxury comfortable bed and the full and diverse breakfast! We loved it and can highly recommend it. Especially taking advice from the receptionist and get a delicious sangriha from the bar!

The room did not have a blow dryer, but I did go to the lobby and request one and was able to use it. Attendant did not speak English. Overall the room was clean and nice, but the heavy drapes and furniture gave a room a dark feeling and it smelled a bit musty.
