The amazing spa, beautiful grounds, and proximity to the beach and Porto made this a perfect getaway. The only minor issue was that the beach right behind the hotel wasn't ideal for swimming.

The hotel is located outside of Espinho, the nearest major town, which means it is in a quiet area. The beach access was a little inconvenient, but the location is very good with easy access to a fine beach and short distance to Porto and other interesting attractions

Great breakfast and pools, but the spa facilities could use some improvement. Overall, a pleasant stay.
Rooms

Our room was spacious and clean, although some things could use an upgrade. The room had old large CRT TV's and not the modern LED type that many hotels have installed, For us, this was not an issue as we never intended to spend all our time in our room watching television when there was so much more to enjoy

We had a wonderful time! The massive room, the superb spa treatments, and the delicious food (though pricey a la carte) made our trip nice. The beach access was a bit of a trek, but totally worth it for the gorgeous sunsets.
