Great hotel in perfect location

We had a fantastic stay at Boa Vista! Firsty the location is perfect, 2min to the beach, cafes, bars, restaurants, and easy to get to city centre, a perfect inbetween spot. The staff were all lovely, breakfast was also great. Hotel is very clean and the room has a great shower! The roof top bar, terrace and pool are a great addition, it was never crowded, plently of loungers for a relaxing few hours in the sun. If you havent visited the area before, bring some walking shoes or trainers, the beach front walk is wonderful, you can walk for miles, its a very active area which we loved. There are also scooter hire spots all along the way for those that perfect not to walk, they are a great way to explore the area. We plan to come back again and stay at Boa Vista!

Great property if you want easy access to the waterfront along the Douro River. The path is great for jogging or just walking. Friendly and helpful hotel staff who actually gave us his personal Ibuprofen when we asked where to get some. Unfortunately, we were feeling a little under the weather so did not venture out too much, but we did enjoy the tremendous rooftop views of the river while enjoying some food and great wine. The breakfast that came with the room was fantastic. Parking was available but you do need to ask which spaces are good and which are bad. We got a small fine for parking in the wrong spot at one point. All in all, we enjoyed the hotel and would stay here again.

Wonderful location, easy to walk to restaurants etc. great views from Roof top Bar area. More care needs to be taken with signage in public spaces as floors have uneven surfaces and drop offs with no warning. I had a nasty fall on a wet marble floor…..no signage and still bruised badly and suffering with body pain and wounds. Staff were helpful and considerate but this should not happen.

This hotel is in a good position overlooking the sea (not all rooms do so) They serve breakfast which is buffet based with a wide variety of food. There is a bar and swimming pool on the roof which is a suntrap. The hotel is well placed if you enjoy walking - go left for the Douro and right for the promenade and beaches which are good. There plenty of eateries at all prices in the area (including 2 Michelin ones) it is better to book in advance as the locals also enjoy eating out!! My only gripe is that I booked through Expedia and offered to pay - they took my credit card details and gave them to the hotel - when the hotel tried to take the payment it was declined by our bank and they blocked the card permanently - luckily we had a 2nd card!!
