The property is on the water, but I became a four course meal while I slept! The hotel room and hallways were full of mosquitos!! The room was decent, however, the patio is not very private if you walk up to the railing, you can see your neighbors and into their rooms. They need to update carpeting on stairs, it has worn thru areas and shabby looking. Housekeeping could be better. I had an opened bottle of lotion left behind, and the minibar had an opened bottle of half drunk water sitting among the other items.

Awesome view of the Ocean

Seated at the rim of the Atlantic Ocean, 155km on the way to Santiago de Compostela, this hotel is situated in a great location if you like the sea and jogging on the boardwalk. The sunset view is awesome if you are lucky to get the seaside view. It is located a bit outside the center of the city, so there are only a few options around for eating other than the hotel restaurant. Staff are nice in general. Unfortunately the pool and fitness areas are managed by some third party and frankly it is not well managed or necessarily clean.

Nice location away from the crowds.

Very comfortable hotel with excellent sea views. It is located in a slightly industrial part of the town but this should not put you off as it is quiet and peaceful and there is easy access to the beaches and restaurants. Good place to kick back with excellent gym and indoor pool facilities. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. For us it was the ideal end to our tour of Northern Portugal.
