I really enjoyed this place, it was beyond my expectations. The location is really beautiful, nested between the mountain and the coastline in a gorgeous setting. The establishment doesn´t have the swanky atmosphere of others but a rather casual and relaxed vibe. The facitilies are clean and well kept. My room had a nice balcony facing the sea and the views were fantastic. Simple decor and good beds. My reservation included access to the spa. Although it´s not brand new, its rather big, and there are lots of jets and so on. Jets are strong and the water temperature was really ok. The only downside is that your stay is limited, in order to allow other clients come and use the facility. One of the strong points here is food, not only the breakfast -even the orange juice- was very good, the restaurant service was fantastic, which is an important factor if you plan to go on a half-board regime, as the hotel is located by the road: there are some towns around, but you need to go there by car. Food was abundant, well cooked and presented and soft-flavoured. There´s also a beautiful terrace, ideal to enjoy the sunset views as you have a drink with your friends. Nice and efficient staff.

The hotel and its rooms are cosy and clean. The breakfast met all of our needs and wants with lots of protein, fresh fruit, fresh croissants, and so on, served in a lovely sunroom. The location was terrific. What made this hotel stand out among the other hotels we stayed at on our Portuguese Camino was the welcoming and personable owner and his wife. They provided us with lots of valuable information delivered with humour, including the location and opening hours of a grocery and cafe, a recommendation for a restaurant that was amazing, and some great advice on which route of two to take the next day of our Camino walk given the very rainy and windy weather. If you are staying in Ramallosa / Baiona, I recommend that you stay at Hotel Arce.

Unfortunate night stay, first we assumed we could deviate from our Camino walk and get to the hotel, we had to walk back two Kilometers and then again two Kms to reach the hotel in the middle of nowhere, To be fair we ignored the road sign for the hotel thinking we could reach it from the Camino.it is not for Camino walkers. Then when we reached the hotel restaurant, cafeteria, pool were closed, and we were told no breakfast available for the Monday, not very cold drinks available in machine in lobby. Fridge not working in one of the two rooms, wonderful to have a jacuzzi in one of the rooms, but not working. Otherwise very nice rooms. We spent 25€ in taxi fares for dinner in Tui. I was upset, when you walk all day and find no facilities open, it’s no fun.

A disappointment, the magnificent location, the environment, the common spaces in the same line, the abundant and quality breakfast, but the rooms very, very, very below expectations, a lot of noise, old, not even a bottle of water courtesy or a kettle to drink an infusion that is in any hotel, uncorked walls next to the window and dirty ... well below a hotel of the same category, I expected much more. It would not be bad to improve the quality of the rooms because the price is charged as if they were up to date

This hotel is well located for walking to shops or the beach. The rooms are very small, but clean. We reserved an ocean view and got an ”ocean is in that direction” view. When I asked about it at the front desk, the clerk shrugged and said ”All the rooms on the 3rd floor are full”. We were on the 1st Floor. Ocean views are probably possible on the 2nd floor, as well, but not the first. We did have a small patio area where we could sit outside and catch the ocean breezes. Parking is provided in a private and gated lot. Spaces are small and it's a bit tricky to get in and out, but provided and secure. We stayed there for a wedding at the nearby (and fgorgeous) Pazo de Cea. It was a quick taxi ride there and a nice 15-ish minute walk back, so very convenient. Hotel was very basic, but clean and comfortable. The restaurant attached to the hotel is open for breakfast, at your own cost. Great avocado toast and coffee.
