Reviews for Hotel Porta do Sol Conference & SPA
Review 1:It is not a beach hotel, more like a motel on the road, but still nice place to relaxe for one or two days.
Review 2:A very nice hotel to stay for couple nights-we travelled one week around the north spain and needed some quiet place to stay before starting exploring portugal. Everithing was so relaxing. The spa area with pools was great, the outdoor pool was very cold-we were in the end of september. Large free parking in front of the hotel.
Review 3:I felt uncomfortable with the staff to the point we were being discriminated against because we were British. I'm not sure if it was intended but it was nothing like the many other Portuguese hotels we have stayed at. It was a Portuguese hotel for the Portuguese and other nationalities appeared to be the poor relatives.
Review 4:Very nice clean and pretty modern hotel. Plenty of facilities and not a bad place to use as a base
Review 5:LOUD MUSIC EVERYWHERE.... swimming pool... breakfast room...hotel lobby... We asked repeatedly if it could be turned down. Eventually found the peace and quiet we thought we had paid 1000 euros for on local public beaches.
Review 6:It was just what we had hoped for... and then the terror of the intrusive public music struck again and again; and here it strikes with a vengeance.
Review 7:This is a fabulous hotel in a quiet area. There is a beautiful beach about 500m straight ahead from the hotel and a beautiful town 500m right of the hotel. The staff are very friendly and the facilities are 1st class.
Review 8:Na minha opinião o hotel precisa de uma pequena remodelação nos quartos. Também não gostei da recepção, é muito grande (creio que o back office está todo à vista), enquanto o recepcionista está a fazer o check-in, por trás dele estão outros a "correr" de um lado para o outro a tratar das tarefas que normalmente se trata sem estar a vista do cliente. Além de que o recepcionista é obrigado a "largar" constantemente o cliente para tratar das tarefas do check-in.
Review 9:Staff da recepção muito atencioso e pronto a ajudar, excelente vista do quarto e bom pequeno-almoco.
Review 10:For a 3 nights' stay in a hotel which is not that cheap, I think that it would be nice to get a complimentary SPA service (15 min. head massage, for example), which could motivate us to use other services, if we liked the experience - we ended up not using any of the spa services.
Review 11:The staff was pretty helpful, the view of the room's balcony was very nice, the same can be said of the restaurant's view.
Review 12:It is a bit of a walk out of town - too far for if it is raining if you want to have something to eat other than the hotel meals in the evenings. Having a car is essential. When we were there (October 2014) not too many people availed of the restaurant except on Saturday nights and so the restaurant lacked atmosphere on other nights. However there was a good seafood restaurant open opposite the hotel at weekends which was a good alternative
Review 13:Excellent room with balcony overlooking pool and mountains Friendly staff Great facilities including spa and outdoor pool Excellent buffet breakfast Good evening meals
Review 14:The sights are amazing, but you cannot control the weather..
Review 15:Great Spa w/ indoor swimming pool (good alternative to the outdoor pool whenever the sun doesn't shine..) good location, with a nice view, just in front of the river
Review 16:The road in front is rather busy so you have to keep the outside door closed during the night.

Review 31:The location, near the river and beach and also the old town. Very easy to get by.
Review 32:River view. Location is very good - central but quiet enough. Breakfast was excellent and lavish, especially we liked freshly pressed orange juice,a lot of kinds of fruits and nice cakes and bread rolls.
Review 33:At first we were placed on the 1st floor, in a river view room: we hadto change to an upper floor because of the noise coming from the road.There should be an elevator going to the SPA floor: we had to walk all around the hotel's reception floor just to get there.
Review 34:The spa facilities were quite pleasant
Review 35:The dinner at night was terrible they let there self down it has a wonderfull diningroom with great veiws the food should be the same
Review 36:The hotel and staff were wonderful the rooms big with great bathrooms and a big balcony breakfast was superb
Review 37:Price i very high for the type of room, seems old. Breakfast room was very tight not well organized, as hotel was provably full and all guests around the same buffet. Why don't they do two differents buffets one for the side room, and another for the frontside room of breakfast.
Review 38:Location.
Review 39:The hotel is fantastic, as is the area, great beaches, great restaurants, gorgeous square in Caminha to sit and watch the world go by ... Sad to leave
Review 40:Very nice hotel the reception people were very helpful then even gave us a free late check out. opposite the hotel there is a walkway take you to a nice beach beach about 5min walk also on the side of the road by a big wall there is a big super market that we didnt find until the last day to buy all we need for the day at the beach cant wait to go back again
Review 41:Payment method. Im made the reservation with american express and so far as there was no problem with it I tried to pay with the same card. They did not accepted it and as it was the only method of payment that I had, I had to look for a place to borrow money.
Review 42:The sadness of the staff, there's no smiles, there's no response tocheerful commentaries. The negative energy that flows is just amazingand oppresses. I travel quite a lot and I can't remember to stay in anhotel like that for many time now.
Review 43:Location is superb. Watch the sunset from the restaurant is justamazing. The hotel is comfortable.
Review 44:Rather anonymous building internally, lacking in warmth. Was strong smell of damp in public areas on arrival, which did not persist through short stay. Lighting in corridors to rooms & in rooms could be improved.
