Spectacular view. Great character. Clean and quiet. It needs some maintenance but I would definitely stay there again. The charm and location far out weigh the maintenance
We had a problem with our first room (water leak) but the reception staff were brilliant and moved us to two new rooms. These rooms were excellent, great views and good breakfast.

Always a pleasure to return. The property is in need of a sympathetic renovation, but the unique character and wonderful staff make all the difference to special hotel and unique location.

Modern room with great Guincho beach view. While the hotel is in need of renovation, it’s a fantastic location, with a unique hotel design, decor and history. It’s really worth a visit.
It was quite a beautiful location and lots of History associated with the hotel. Our view was fantastic! We also enjoyed the breakfast. We were very happy to have chosen this hotel!

Beautiful water view but too cold to swim. Very rustic hotel and needs updating.
The property could be so beautiful but is sadly so so run down. Our shower head was so low only suitable for a child.
Burnt out Light bulbs in bathroom made it hard to shave and they didn’t have a replacement considering the entire hotel uses these bulbs.
The tv did not work at all despite 3 days of complaining. Even after and finally a tech visit on our last day. The veranda was not swept nor cleaned. Had to ask for special cleaning. Sure it’s windy and sandy. And they should know that.
Most windows were new and updated and keyless entry was nice.
The pool and spa area are beyond repair or use and completely closed off and barred Couldn’t even use lounge chairs.
Staff and other guests smoked at entrances in No Smoking marked area so entrance smelled terribly of smoke.
Met the 96 year old owner and his mid 50 son who seemed nice. This property has amazing views and so much potential but sadly has been neglected far too long that I can’t see a possible comeback.
The interior has wonderful character and many many lounge areas.
Overall we enjoyed our stay but we had to close our eyes to so many depriving elements.

The best location with very nice view, we love it! Traditional in good Portugese sense and way: kindly service, breakfast and also the building itself. Faded glory and lovely
This place was unique and beautiful. Rooms were clean and very comfortable. Pool was amazing and so was the location. A little outdated but I think that’s part of the charm. 10/10 would stay again

The front desk people so nice , the cleaning ladies very pleasant, kind and happy . Bartenders very professional and nice .
Near breakfast area smelled like sewer . Entrance of hotel smelled like mold . Place is abandoned.. owner should sell the place since he doesn’t care about it. It’s great location in a very beautiful beach. Such a shame left like no one cares

This is a must do hotel. There’s no doubt that The location and scenery are beautiful.
However, it is to be visited once and that is it. We would not return.
I had high hopes that this place would be incredible. It fell short of that. There’s one thing having a hotel that is outdated but there’s another thing having a hotel poorly maintained.
Rooms felt as if they were not fully finished. Don’t get me wrong. They were clean but you can’t promote a hotel to be 4 stars and it barely having a proper bed to sleep in. It had two single beds pushed together with a sheet on top. Pillows that you can tell had been overused. No hair dryer.
The hotel inside smelled like mold. The morning breakfast served poor food. Ham and cheese was the best on the menu.
The swimming pool was being repaired upon arrival. Mind you the website clearly stated that it would be functioning starting June 1. Not the case. The pool deck was dangerous to walk on. The paint was coming off that as you walked it poked your feet. If you stepped wrong it would for sure cut you open. My three year old almost fell through the wooden old planks in the deep end part as we crossed the pool deck.
The beach is right next door. That made it super accessible. It is naturally a very windy spot definitely made more for windsurfing etc. not for laying but we made the best of it. Just heads up.
Overall yes do come and experience it—once. The view is the 4 stars it claims to be But not the hotel itself.
Beautiful beach. Hotel rooms extremely sparse. No pictures, no available bottle of drinking water, minimal linens, musty smell. breakfast not good. Restaurant food good, though.
