"The good points about the hotel were the breakfast, the staff, who were helpful and the rooms which were for the most part well maintained. We had several very positive interactions with the front desk and on the whole they met our needs. The location is pretty good and there is access to a sandy beach at low tide. Do bear in mind that the hotel is close to the port, so noise can be an issue if you room on the mountain side of the property.
The wireless was extremely weak. As this was (partly) a business trip this was a big issue for us. I think this highlights a systemic issue with the hotel. The carpets on the stairs needs replacement, along with the WiFi. Essentially, the hotel needs a bit of a facelift, a refresh if it wants to retain its 4 star status."
"I will start with the service at the front desk. Wow! this is what hospitality should look like at every hotel. The front desk manager helped solving some problems upon arrival, since we were traveling by bike on the Camino de Santiago. He made sure that the bikes could charge overnight and they even moved them to the storage area themselves, while we were changing clothes in our room. Provided water for our flasks the next day. All of this, while being friendly, calm and helpful.
He arranged a taxi for us to get to/from the village downhill (the road is a steep 5 kilometer stretch). Congratulations! We will never forget this level of service.
Breakfast the next day was wonderful at the main restaurant, which also enjoys breathtaking views. the buffet had a wide array of local and world delicacies.
Don’t overthink staying at this property. It is well worth it."
"We didn’t try out any of the spa amenities. The breakfast was pretty good. There weren’t any scrambled eggs, but we asked the staff and they made some for us which was very nice."
"The Luna Arcos hotel is perfectly located near the centre of the village, which you reach via one of the delightful pedestrian bridges across the river. The hotel has plenty of parking and the check in was welcoming and very efficient.
Our double room was spacious, nicely furnished and very comfortable. It also had a small balcony with table and chairs, which was nice.
Breakfast takes the form of a buffet with a good selection of fresh fruits, cereals etc. There’s also hot food and whereas I enjoyed the bacon, sausage tomato etc, I have to say that the eggs were a bit hit and miss. For some reason on the first two mornings the egg dishes were not refreshed and were pretty awful. On our final morning however we had freshly cooked fried eggs and nicely cooked scrambled eggs - so all is forgiven.
In short, this is an excellent hotel, in every way, and represents excellent value for money. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back."
"★★★★★
Amazing hotel. Beautiful rooms, excellent service, and one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in Portugal. The spa area is fantastic, with a great swimming pool, hammam, and sauna. Everything was clean, well maintained, and very relaxing. Highly recommended, and I will definitely return."
