Porto

Typical beach hotel from many, many years ago. It is not well located, far from the center, away from the beach, next to a school, making parking difficult. The quality of the buffet justita, but the rices very rich. Cleaning pretty good. The rooms if you're not refurbished, our friends, horrible, the tub rusty. We were "refurbished", had a shower, but they have not renovated the doors of the cupboards, the plugs or lamps, nor the air conditioning that must be from the 80s. In my opinion if you renovate a room it would have to be integral. Very friendly staff. They would have to wonder if having "entertainer", we have not seen a person with less grace in any hotel we have been.

An Imserso holiday, one of many my husband and I have taken. The poorly situated hotel is a little dated, but spotlessly clean. The staff are all friendly and helpful, but name badges would be useful. Breakfast is continental, with cereals, cheese and cold meats, and bakery items. None of the bakery items are fresh. All are Dulcesol pre-packed which can be bought in most supermarkets. The layout of the buffet is not good. The milk is nowhere near the cereal, and the tea and coffee sachets are not with the hot water. For lunch and dinner (especially dinner) the food is abysmal. In the 18 years we have lived in Spain, it is undoubtedly the worst food we have ever eaten. On a good day it was overcooked but cold. On a bad day it was almost raw and cold. Chicken with blood near the bone is not acceptable. Apart from the occasional cake for dessert, all the desserts were bought in. Flan, natillas and arroz con leche were all bought in, in individual plastic pots. How can a professional kitchen not have staff who can cook traditional Spanish food. The bedroom was simply furnished, but offered plenty of cupboard and drawer space. The walk-in shower was particularly good. A car is definitely needed as the hotel is nowhere near any amenities.

It's clean, the rooms are spacious for 3 people we were, it's not close to the beach but if you don't want to walk there is municipal bus, the price is in accordance with the meters to the beach because the closer the more expensive, the food is fine and the cakes are homemade, there is no noise at night, we were fine.
