Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Light and airy and on the Camino path. Lovely Staffa d excellent breakfast. Good size room.
It would have been good to have glasses in the room rather than paper cups
Grosses Frühstücksbüffet. Schönes Zimmer man sah auf den Pool.
Zu viel Parfüm Duft überall. Lift stank nach Schimmel.
Last minute booking. A little pricey but it had air conditioning.
Beds were extra firm.
La habitación era amplia. Estaba muy limpia. La piscina.
La piscina
Me gustó todo
Piscina, camera bella, moderna, pulita, bagno con doccia, personale squisito... posizione a Esposende fantastica
Sono anni che soggiorno qui e vorrei dare 10 ma non posso perché l'hotel lavora tanto con chi fa il Camino di Santiago e ancora non hanno ancora capito che non si può incominciare la colazione alle 7.30. Ressa totale, tutti hanno fretta, il personale va giustamente in tilt, tutti gli ospiti a lamentarsi. Speriamo che la recensione arrivi a chi di dovere
L’emplacement en bord d’océan ,la piscine , le personnel vraiment agréable ,souriant ,serviable
L’insonorisation des fenêtres, salle de bain vieillissante , chambre côté route à éviter beaucoup de bruit
Estadia muito agradável e tranquila. Excelente localização, junto à praia e perto da cidade, ideal para descansar e fazer caminhadas. Hotel confortável, com ambiente calmo e familiar. Pequeno-almoço e refeições no bar e restaurante muito boas. Funcionários simpáticos e prestáveis. Foi exatamente o que procurávamos para uns dias de descanso.
Nada a apontar.
This is a beautiful hotel. We stayed as a party of 6 on our camino journey. It is right on the route so very easy to find. A dip in the pool was very welcome, and we had a fabulous breakfast before we set off again the next morning. We also are dinner there. Very well priced. Staff were very welcoming and helpful.
So, this is a good hotel which is almost a great one bar a few things. On the plus side, its very clean, staff are polite and friendly, the pool area is lovely and immaculate, the breakfast was great and the hotel is within walking distance of the beach, bars, a supermarket and also the town square. Our room was large, comfortable and the balcony was excellent. Aside from breakfasts we didn't eat at the hotel but the menu and prices looked reasonable, and the bar was good and not excessively priced.
The biggest issue is the gym - it is tired and some of the equipment is dangerous - for example two treadmills which don't work properly with the belts slipping, and weight bars without collars which mean the weights fall off. The two exercise mats were also old and didn't look particularly clean. There was also no water (or tea of coffee making facilities) in the rooms, which is a bit poor for a hotel which markets itself for beachgoers and walkers. All the staff were great and really helpful, bar one older tall dark haired chap on reception sometimes in the day who was miserable and gave the impression that he couldn't be bothered....
Eins der am besten geführten Hotels, in denen ich je war. Alles in perfektem Zustand, höchste Sauberkeit, tolles Personal, Zimmer und Bett komfortabelst, toller Pool, phänomenaler Strand vor der Haustür. Tennis, Tischtennis und Billard sind inkludiert.
Das Frühstück könnte noch etwas besser sein. Das Rührei war etwas gummiartig, und etwas mehr Auswahl bei Müsli und Schinken/Käse wäre gut. Aber alles solide.
As instalações, localização e simpatia dos funcionários
Os quartos são simpáticos e confortáveis mas não havia um frigorífico, nem uma chaleira e o pequeno almoço tinha muito pouca variedade de fruta e de pão, além de não ter produtos para celíacos e pessoas alérgicas a lacticínios (até na Arménia onde estive recentemente isso existia) o que para o preço pago deixa muito a desejar.
Очень хорошее расположение! Отличный вид из номеров с видом на океан!
Geweldig zwembad, vriendelijk personeel, alles zeer schoon en netjes, goede douche. Ontbijt was ook top.
Het bed en kussen had iets comfortabeler gekund
Pequeno almoço incrível. Funcionários super acessíveis e simpáticos. Limpeza do espaço.
J’ai aimer la piscine, la proximité de la plage, du centre ville ainsi que le calme ☺️
Location fantastic for the camino. Shower was great. Bar was great. Breakfast decent.
Es un hotel superior, excelente. Las instalaciones son perfectas y el restaurante es una maravilla, es como un hotel de 5 estrellas como mínimo.
L’emplacement de l’hôtel, l’accueil et le personnel très sympathique et à l’écoute. Tout ce qui nous faut à disposition
Rien
Atencion
En general todo ,la decoracion, el desayuno muy bueno ,la limpieza
Great location. Comfortable beds Good breakfast
Habitación amplia, desayuno muy rico y el personal sobre todo de recepción súper amables
Todo bien, quizás poco espacio en la zona de desayuno y nos tocó esperar, pero igual fue que coincidió con la hora de más gente
De tudo
Nada
Continua ser um excelente lugar para fazer férias, bons quartos, boa comida, ótima piscina.. Qualidade na decoração, espaços de entretenimento um hotel para voltar muito em breve..
Nesse momento nada de grave a mencionar, apenas um lapso em não ter frigobar nos quartos (mas pelo que fui informado, já estão a resolver esse problema) De resto, nada a dizer
Dinner was quick and decent
I voluntarily downgraded to smaller room bec I asked for a quiet one. They put me right above the busy and noisy kitchen. The beds were impossibly hard.
We had a lovely, relaxing stay in Hotel Suave Mar. The breakfast was varied and plentiful. All staff were friendly and helpful, especially Clara and Jessica on Reception.
Increible la piscina y la atencion del personal
No hubo nada reseñable como malo
La piscina y limpieza
Ruido en la habitación 130, como de un motor . Fue muy incómodo
Pool and dining experience. Beautiful pool area and great staff in dining room and excellent food.
L’emplacement est vraiment exceptionnel, juste face à l’océan, avec une magnifique vue sur le coucher de soleil depuis le balcon de la chambre. Les chambres sont spacieuses, confortables et agréables, et le fait de pouvoir profiter de la vue sur la mer depuis son balcon est un vrai plus. La piscine est également très appréciable. Nous avons particulièrement aimé la gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel, toujours souriant, à l’écoute et attentif à nos besoins. Un hôtel que nous recommandons sans hésiter pour son emplacement, son confort et surtout pour l’accueil chaleureux de toute l’équipe.
Le seul petit bémol serait l’absence de bouilloire dans la chambre, qui aurait été appréciable pour pouvoir se préparer facilement un thé ou un café.
L'emplacement la propreté la piscine l'hôtel très beau
Ubicación
Precio alto para la calidad encontrada y tuvimos unos pitidos por la noche que nos despertó, algo interno, no sabría describir ( aire, baño, ascensor no se de donde venía)…colchón muy duro
Mi è piaciuto tutto, struttura in ottima posizione, pulita, stanza estremamente accogliente, grande, con un bel terrazzo. Fantastica la piscina. Buono il ristorante.
Metterei bollitore con caffè e una bottiglia d’acqua in camera.
Pool, Badezimmer
Das Hotel haben wir zuletzt vor 10 Jahren besucht und man merkt deutlich, dass man versucht, über die Jahre alles zu verbessern und zu erneuern. Wir haben und wirklich wohlgefühlt, das Personal sehr sehr nett und auch das Gastroangebot im Poolbereich hatte ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Frühstücksangebot ausreichend mit der Möglichkeit, sowohl drinnen als auch draußen im Poolbereich zu sitzen. Schönes Hotel für alle, egal ob als Paar oder Familie. Empfang an der Rezeption sehr sympathisch. Schöner Poolbereich ohne Handtuchreservierer. :-)
Kann ich gar nicht beantworten.

Nada em particular.

Todo el hotel está muy bien, pero la piscina es lo mejor que tiene. Hay hamacas y sombrillas, servicio de toallas de piscina, y se pueden pedir bebidas (y comida) en el bar. El desayuno está muy bien, y el personal es de diez.
Nada, todo estuvo genial.
So comfortable! I had a wonderful sleep and it’s a beautiful hotel. Highly recommend.

A lovely property with helpful staff.
Valoro positivamente la situación en Esposende, muy còmodo para manejarse por el pueblo.
No me gustó nada de nada la habitación que me asignaron. La terraza/balcón era impracticable. Mejor no tenerla. Daba a una terraza estructura con tejado que parecía una nave industrial. Horrorosa‼️
Très bon séjour dans cet hôtel ! Nous avons apprécié les locaux, la localisation, la facilité de stationnement.

Nice pool, pro staff Wonderful stay!
Too many low quality options at buffet
Accoglienza dello staff, colazione molto buona, stanza ampia e silenziosa
Piscina sovraffollata ma gratuita
Boa localização, pequeno almoço com variedade de comida para todos os gostos. A arte exposta dentro do hotel. Vista incrível da varanda do quarto sobre as piscinas iluminadas à noite Fui de mota e o hotel disponibilizou estacionamento na garagem coberta com toda a segurança. Funcionários super simpáticos e super atenciosos do fato de eu ir de mota
Good location Good restaurant. Swimming pool close to beach
Noisy rooms -both within rooms and from corridor noise most of the day! Food in the restaurant was good but the waiting service was over zealous, refilling glasses every few minutes was intrusive and unnecessary
situation géographique
lit inconfortable petit déjeuner moyen (produits non qualitatifs) rapport qualité/prix restaurant trop cher pour ce que c'est
A very good hotel, we particularly enjoyed the swimming pool and swimming area.
Mattress was a bit firm
Prima hotel, waar een mens - zéker de Camino loper - heerlijk kan ontspannen. Met een fijne kamer, een heerlijk groot zwembad, een prima poolbar met lekkere gerechten en het prachtige strand op loopafstand.
Het restaurant en in het bijzonder sommige van de personeelsleden daar. Het eten is niet geweldig en je voelt je niet erg welkom. Jammer.
Las habitaciones
La playa
Breakfast was great. Great variety
The price charged for car garage parking.
Fantastic hotel with beautiful swimming pool and great restaurant! Right across street from beach and short walk to centre of town! 100% recommend!!
Nothing we loved it!
Hotel al borde de la playa con buenas instalaciones. Piscina y gimnasio. Buen restaurante y buen desayuno. Personal muy amable. Habitaciones amplias y confortables con terraza.
Super petit déjeuner
Gutes Frühstück, sehr gutes Abendrestaurant, tolles Blich auf das Mehr( hatte Zi mit Mehrblick gebucht)
Leider wegen der Strasse etwas laut, sonst alles prima, hätte 4 Sterne verdient
El personal fue siempre muy amable, atento y profesional, ofreciendo un trato cercano y resolviendo cualquier necesidad con rapidez y eficacia. La limpieza fue impecable en todo momento, tanto en las habitaciones como en las zonas comunes, lo que hizo que la estancia fuera aún más agradable. Además, el servicio de habitaciones fue excelente: rápido, eficiente y de muy buena calidad.Sin duda, un hotel totalmente recomendable por la calidad de su atención, su cuidado por los detalles y el alto nivel de sus servicios. Repetiría sin dudarlo.
La única pega que podría decir es que las dos habitaciones que teníamos reservadas no disponían de una mini-nevera
vista para o mar, quarto grande e confortável, bom serviço
Zwembad
Tutto!
Sobre todo la tranquilidad y las zonas para pasear.
No había nevera. Creo que es más útil que la TV.
Absolutely amazing fantastic super great experience, care, breakfasts, pool, fresh parfume scent everywhere. Great ocean view and the best lunches where the restaurant staff brings you heaven on the plates ❤️

Excelente localização, muito perto da praia e do centro de Esposende. O hotel é muito bonito, tranquilo e bem cuidado. O quarto era confortável e limpo, a piscina é agradável e o pequeno-almoço bastante variado. Os funcionários foram simpáticos e prestáveis durante toda a estadia.
A estadia foi muito positiva.
Tolle Hotel mit schönem Pool und nah am ebenso schönen Strand. Sehr professionell, sauber, sehr freundliches Personal.
WLAN war instabil.
Da localização
Quarto muito pequeno com uma televisão pequena e com imagem instável. O comando em más condições o que dificultava a mudança de canal.
My daughter was ill on the last day (ended up in ambulance and hospital), and the staff were absolutely superb - I cannot thank the team enough. They were so kind, so helpful and could not do enough for us. They really went the extra mile… thank you to everyone there!
The pool was awesome, deep and cool perfect after a day on the Camino
No water or tea or coffee facilities in the room
Tolles Hotel. Sehr netter Empfang. Zimmer war geräumig und sauber. Betten super 🤩! Frühstücksbuffet war reichaltig mit frischen Produkten. Mein persönliches Highlight waren die beiden Herren an der Bar. Super freundlich und zuvorkommend! Hier würde ich jederzeit wieder kommen! Vielen Dank!
Die Dusche war in einer Badewanne, die ihre besten Zeiten hintersich hat.
L esmorzar i la situació
Les habitacions necessiten una actualització. La wifi va a pedals, o no va. La tele de l habitació igual.
Die Ruhe am Pool
Todo perfecto. Personal amable, habitaciones limpias y amplias. Piscina espectacular. Muy tranquilo
Todo estaba perfecto
Pequeno almoço, localização, comodidades exteriores, atendimento dos funcionários.
Já fiquei neste hotel várias vezes e adorei sempre, os quartos e conforto modo geral. Mas este foi o pior quarto e cama em que fiquei, a qualidade/preço não compensou!
O hotel, nas suas diferentes vertentes, é excelente: profissionalismo e simpatia dos funcionários, logística e comodidades muito boas/excelentes, sossego....
Não tenho nada de negativo a apontar
Groot conferentie hotel met alle voorzieningen
Diner kan beter, is in buffet vorm.
Beautiful modern relaxed Hotel with friendly colleagues and which has a big Pool Inside. I was given an early Check in and a good Lunch Box at early Check out- Both was very appreciated, the room had a balcony and was overlooking the sea. I liked my stay.
Si mi è piaciuto
Quasi tutto
Not far from Porto airport after an evening flight. Great position on the coast. Friendly staff, but only stayed 1 night enroute to Galicia.
Would have prefered a double bed rather than 2 singles pushed together, though we were aware when booking.
