Best Hotels in Buarcos, Portugal

What a hotel. Absolutely the best hotel that I have ever stayed in. Checked in on Saturday October 8 for 4 nights. Greeted at the desk by the super friendly clerk and the manager on duty. Walked into our fantastic room on the 8th floor with a wrap around balcony and glass from floor to ceiling providing a panoramic view of the beach and ocean. Added to that was a welcoming bottle of champagne. It felt so opulent and luxurious. The online pictures and reviews don't lie. The breakfast was fantastic. The hotel also provides a gym and a Turkish bath.

What a beautiful hotel! The pool area, the restaurant, the reception areas and the suite itself were all nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and really comfortable. We had great sleeps - it was very quiet and the beds, bedding, and pillows were perfect. As rest and relaxation were a priority, we really appreciated the generous breakfast time ('til 11 am) and the generous check-out time (noon). Staff were lovely and so helpful - I'm pretty certain that they upgraded our room and they also ensured that our room was ready for our early arrival (so appreciated after having being in transit overnight). A real gem of a hotel - I can't wait to return!

Two blocks from the beach in a nicely appointed, modern building and great staff. Elegant lounge for drinks and a beautiful breakfast room. Nice, clean , quiet rooms. We found free street parking within 50 metres of the hotel on both nights. Highly recommended.

I booked a group sales event. It was challenging bc I had to pre-pay for 1/2 of rooms with cash via a bank transfer. They would not accept credit cards. I asked what would happen if we had less attendees than I’d counted on. They told me not to worry, that I’d receive any reimbursement upon check out. I was owed over 1700 euro. I was NOT paid upon check out. Then I was told that I had to wait for the accounting team to return from holiday. I was not paid then. Then I was told I had to wait until the end of the month. I was also told if I had paid with a card that they would have already done it, (but they wouldn’t allow me to use a card!) As of today, I have not been paid. They also said that I needed to receive my reimbursement in a Portuguese account, despite accepting payment out of an American account. Luckily, I had one. Unluckily, they refused to accept my account info from the internet. So they made me drive to Coimbra to get bank credentials. (Then had another excuse not to pay me.) There have been big wildfires and I drove through one, trying to get to the bank. It was terrifying. It has been 3 weeks. At this point, my emails are not answered and it looks like I will have to sue. The accommodations are fine, but I would strongly recommend against using them for a big group, based on my experience. Waiting for people to return from their holiday to get paid money that is owed?? What??! I waited 3 weeks to write this review, to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’m very disappointed. Maybe this is just the way that people do business in Portugal? I don’t know know but it isn’t good. Seems very unprofessional to me. I will never book a big group with them again, nor with any other Ibis affiliate, based on this experience.

We were received free of charge and also personally detached after our stay there 4-daagse. We were put ”in the wait”, they kept away what we drank at dinner, nothing was too much, and after these four days we gave together (we were on a group trip from EffeWeg) a snack to the staff, which was received thankful. You have several rooms, but we had one with sea view, and a balcony, which made our bathroom a little smaller, but we didn't care.

This hotel was likely the star on the beachfront in the 1950's. Doubt is has been updated since then. Location, relative to the beach, is excellent. The hotel faces the beach. But, note that the ocean is still a bit of a walk away. Location, relative to restaurants and sights, is poor. Other than the beach, not much here. Elevators. Small and few in number. Good breakfast buffet. If you want to hang out on the beach, this is a good choice. If you want see sights in this area, there might be better options.

Stayed here one night on a cycling tour. On the positive side, our room was clean, large and spacious. Good sized modern shower room too. On downside, it was plain to the point of being Spartan, stank of drains from the bathroom and the two small windows were situated just below the high ceiling. They had metal covers rather than blinds or curtains so overall feel was cell-like. The hotel had provided large wooden stairs to climb up and reach one window but this contraption wasn’t easily moveable so for the other window you had to balance on a chair in order to close the steel doors at night. The smell of drains became intolerable. On checking out I mentioned it to the receptionist who was totally unconcerned and said it was usual when it rained. It hadn’t been raining when we checked in and other rooms occupied by our party were not affected but clearly they weren’t planning on investigating. It was ok for one night but I wouldnt choose to return.

Lovely little boutique hotel in a charming beach town just south of Porto on the West Coast of Portugal. We were not there during high season, so not much was open, but the hotel is centrally located and is probably a great location when the town is busy. the hotel is in a renovated old house and is very clean and comfortable. There is a lounge and outdoor space for guests. The proprietors are incredibly helpful and kind to guests. The absolute highlight was the breakfast, which was the best we had in Portugal - virtually everything you could want - from eggs and bacon, to pastries, to fruit and more. They even bring you hot milk so that you can make a wonderful latte. It was a great way to start our day.
