It was absolutely amazing stay that we had in Douro valley thanks to the Douro Royal valley Hotel&Spa, especially because our trip took place when it was mostly raining… luckily, me and my husband were able to use that time properly in the hotel’s spa, having massage, enjoying the time in the swimming pool, spending some time in sauna and even at the gym. Thanks to hotel’s facilities the trip was not a waste of time, we could rest actively, we also enjoyed very much the overall ambience of the hotel and taking care of the personell so that overall the hotel is a calm place to stay at. What caught us by surprise was absolutely stunning dinner- each out of 6 courses we had was prepared and served with such a mastery that we thought we are at the resturant with micheline star chef- chapeau bas to the Chef - your courses are absolute masterpiece and the best of the best we tried on our 2-week trip in Portugal. Thank you for this experience :)

De locatie van het hotel is geweldig. Gelegen in een vallei aan de Douro met een fantastisch zicht. Het hotel is zeer rustig gelegen, een beetje geïsoleerd zelfs. De aankomst was goed, we kregen een warm welkom. Het personeel van het ganse hotel was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Onze dochter van 12 had een volwaardig 3de bed, geen kampeer- of uitvouwbedje. Dat hebben we ten zeerste geapprecieerd. Het ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid (buffetvorm) en van goede kwaliteit. De laatste avond werd ons gemeld dat er erg weinig gasten in het hotel verbleven en of we het ok vonden om een ontbijt à-la-carte te kiezen om op deze manier verspilling tegen te gaan. Het gemeenschappelijke terras naast het zwembad was heel aangenaam, met loungezeteltjes. Er was ook mogelijkheid om buiten te eten (zowel voor ontbijt als voor lunch en diner). We hebben 2x in het hotel gedineerd. De kaart was klein van keuze, maar was wel lekker. Wat we minder vonden: - De hotelkamer was aan de kleine kant. - We vonden het jammer dat er geen balkon was, zodat we 's avonds nog van het mooie zicht konden genieten. - Het zwembad was niet verwarmd. Maar het mooie zicht maakte veel goed. - De uitrusting van de badkamer was een beetje passé. - Weinig parkeermogelijkheid door de naastgelegen watersportclub.

I’m very happy with my experience at Douro Palace Hotel. The hotel features a very nice spa where you can unwind and relax after a day of exploration. The facilities were clean, and the pool, sauna, and steam room offered a relaxing touch. The spa's ambiance contributed to a peaceful time. The restaurant's decor, inspired by Portuguese themes, complemented the overall a**osphere. The view of Douro River and vineyards from the balcony was breathtaking. If you're into comfort and relaxation with scenic natural views, this is the place to be.

Hotel acolhedor, staff mt simpático, sempre prestável e atencioso. Quarto agradável e limpinho. Spa afável (é pequeno mas como funciona com marcações estava adequado ao número de pessoas presente), o único senão foi msm a temperatura (estava demasiado quente). P.s. não fornecem gratuitamente roupão, chinelos e toalhas, o que normalmente acontece num hotel de 4*. Jantar mt bom, com condições para famílias com filhos (como é o nosso caso), atendimento mt prestável, atenderam a todos os pedidos, prato principal (no caso bacalhau com broa) mt saboroso e bastante apelativo. Sobremesa igualmente boa (folhado de leite creme). Recomendo vivamente. Pequeno almoço com bastante variedade, desde doces a salgados, vários tipos de pão, vários tipos de sumos, compotas, iogurtes, cereais, bastante bom na verdade. Novamente saliento a simpatia do staff, desde a receção, bar, restaurante e demais. Na realidade só não dou 5* porque o quarto no qual ficamos hospedados não tinha varanda e valorizo bastante esse aspecto. Se assim não fosse daria 5* com toda a certeza. Para a próxima que cá vier terei esse aspecto em atenção aquando da reserva. É um até já.
