Hotel Porta do Sol Conference & Spa Reviews

We have stayed a few times at the Porta do sol. Great staff, great breakfast, fab spa and swimming pools. Really enjoyed our stays. We will be going again later in the year. Overall Fabulous.

Bom hotel!

I loved the reception, they made my birthday an unforgettable experience. Thank you very much 🥰

Very good hotel, with a magnificent pool. Relatively close to the city center, you can walk. What I don't understand is that you can't pay by card if you buy less than €5 at the hotel bar. You can't have a beer without metal. One of the people who worked there insisted a lot that you couldn't pay less than €5 with a card, it was also difficult for them to charge it to my room by showing my ID at reception, finally and as an exceptional favor, they charged it to me and I paid it in the checking out. It shouldn't be that difficult.😫

They do not offer the same features in Spanish as in Portuguese.

The hotel is very nice and the staff is very welcoming. The small and concise spa

Very good. I've been several times

Alright

It was a great stay. Hotel staff were always attentive. The cleanliness is outstanding for being excellent. Spacious rooms with everything you need to have a great stay. Breakfast is exceptional, nothing is missing and has everything. It is close to the center and also to the beaches. I will definitely come back.

we had a very good experience here. we were 10 Ebikers on the way from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. This was the end of a long day. Very pretty location. I don't know why other's had bad experiences. Desk staff was good. They weren't the ritz, but they were helpful. Very helpful explanation how to store our Ebikes. Spa services that 2 of our group used and were very good. Huge pool. We did not avail ourselves of bar or restaurant; we walked into town. Room had a balcony and was very clean and well appointed.

The hotel is nice, and the rooms are refurbished. The rooms are big, and the bathroom was very nice and clean. The staff were nice and helpful. The hotel is located on a street, so the rooms facing the river have the street in front of them. Also, the rooms facing the pool have a train rail behind the pool and the hedge, so it's very noisy when the train passes, including in the middle of the night. Additionally, there was a constant noise, probably from the pool pumps or spa, which was quite bothersome. The breakfast was quite basic—no variety of eggs, just scrambled and boiled, no beans, no vegetables of any kind. They didn't refill the yogurt or water when it was gone. No fresh juices. Overall, not a four-star breakfast. We also had quite a stench in our room, probably from the sewer pipe or drainage. We informed the personnel, but no one did anything. The carpet in the rooms was worn out and has seen better days. The hotel is located approximately 1.5 km from the town, so we had to walk or order a taxi. Uber or Bolt are not available in Caminha.

Not aimed at the family customer segment - it may be different cultural views on child safety (I havent stayed at enough hotels in Portugal to know if this is usual), but we had a room for our kids and a room for us as parents which they placed two floors apart in a big hotel, and the hotel were unable (unwilling?) to change that. For us that is very stressful and so doesnt make for a good experience.

A big hotel- clean rooms if a bit worn out. Adequate amenities. They charged 5 euros for a kettle! shame on them. Very poor wi-fi, speed never reached beyond 19 MBP/s during my entire stay. Staff seem indifferent to the requests. Not recommended to solo travelers, especially non-native Portuguese speakers.

Rooms were fine but the service was terrible. They were rude, not helpful - like we were inconveniencing them by being there. There was a mix up for dinner that didn’t help. We ended up eating in town because the whole vibe of the place just turned us off.
