    Children not having access to the swimming pool was a bummer

    The location next to the water was beautiful, the restaurant was phenomenal for breakfast & lunch, we adored having a room with a balcony & view of the ocean- plus the staff went above and beyond every day.

    Nothing probably the best we've stayed in and made for a very special 50th birthday treat. Thank you Vila Foz team.

    Everything! it is a beautiful boutique hotel in a stunning location. but what really makes this hotel experience is the lovely personable staff. Facilities are high class - buffet breakfast, rooms, spa etc A special mention must go to the concierge Giovanni who went above and beyond to make our stay special and to Veronique who looked after us so well and was genuinely interested in us as guests. We will definitely come back as each day it felt like coming home and we were sad to leave!

    Fabulous hotel, next to the beach and close to the city
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Onice Sea View Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    All quite minor gripes but: We were given a voucher for a "welcome drink" in the hotel bar but when we tried to use it, we were told it could only be used on a limited number of options, which was irritating and felt cheap. Coffee at breakfast was more often luke warm than hot. The Spa and pool are open from 10, which makes it difficult to have a swim before breakfast.

    Our room was comfortable and reasonably spacious. The bathroom (shower only) was luxurious. There's a lovely balcony with a sea view. Staff are very helpful, efficient and friendly, the concierge deserves a special mention. Location is excellent, next to a series of lively beaches with bars, and there's a frequent bus service into central Porto. There are excellent restaurants nearby and we were also enjoyed a meal in the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant (advance booking recommended, we were lucky to get a cancellation).

    Nothing to dislike here. Having spent my entire career as a hotel developer and owner, I could not fault this property.

    One of the best hotels we have stayed in for years—great attention to detail. The food was terrific and the staff went out of their way to please. Guest relations manager, Veronica Amadio, handled any request with a smile and was ever-present. The breakfast was superb! Where do you find Moet & Chandon champagne and fresh Oysters on the breakfast buffet? Truly 5 stars...The rooms are a bit on the small side but were beautifully designed and comfortable.

    No sausage option at breakfast...but to be honest, soo many other options and the very fresh fruit made up for that. No kids facilities, went as a couple, but might choose a different hotel if going with kids. Or maybe if I went with kids I may have seen what it would really be like for kids.

    Everything! Friendly, helpful and super attentive staff, nice pool and spa facilities. Good breakfast spread. Free bikesnto explore the town. Great location on the beach front. Lovely well kept gardens. Comfortable room, reasonable range of tv channel options.
