Beach Hotels & Resorts in Vila Nova de Gaia from AU$216

"Very disappointing stay — we ended up checking out three days earlier than originally planned. The facilities are clearly outdated. The shower is built into a bathtub with only a curtain, which feels inconvenient and not in line with what you would expect at this price point. The air conditioning also performed poorly — even in April, the room was warmer than the outside temperature. For guests traveling with dogs, there is an additional €10 per night fee, and pets cannot be left alone in the room for more than one hour. This restriction is quite limiting and not clearly justified. The biggest drawback, however, is the location. The hotel is in Vila Nova de Gaia, which requires at least 20–25 minutes of driving to reach the main attractions in Porto, often with heavy traffic. While public transport is available, we eventually moved to a centrally located hotel where everything was within walking distance — a significantly better experience. Additionally, we found that the water boiler in the room was leaking. This was reported to the hotel, but no action was taken to repair or replace it during our stay. Ultimately, we chose to forfeit three nights of our booking rather than continue staying under these conditions, which reflects how unsatisfactory the experience was."

"Excelent Breakfast, kind personal, always willing to help and speak, good englisf y español ..!"

"No Ac in rooms!! Although the description mentions ac included so this is totally a misleading. The staff always try to make excuses they say AC works only on summer time but we stayed at April when the temperatures are already 25 degrees, and windows cannot be open fully, only 20cm. Breakfast was decent, but opened at 7am although their info shows 6:30am and their excuse: “are you sure you go to the right place?” We are not stupid and there is only one restaurant. Overall we were very disappointed "

"Very good "

"Yep, all was ok"

"The Yeatman Hotel is spectacular. The views of Porto and the Douro River are breathtaking, the service is exceptional, and the wine experience is outstanding. Truly one of the best hotel stays we have had"

"This Ibis was conveniently within driving distance of the fishing village with beautiful food. Staff was friendly and rooms were clean"
