Advantages: Nice location, friendly staff, large apartments
Disadvantages: Tired, uninspired

...hear you say). The Clube do Lago apartments tick many boxes. It's a nice location - near the beach, but still near enough to Lisbon to allow frequent day trips. The architecture looks Portuguese/Iberian, and so feels more traditional and personal than the big tower blocks that are sprouting like mushrooms everywhere in the area. The staff is helpful and friendly, and speak excellent English. The rooms are spacious and clean. However, everything is ...
...'should I stay at the Clube do Lago', I'd say go for it. If you were to ask me 'where should I stay in Portugal', I'd advise you to canvass opinion of folk with more experience of hotels in the area than I have - I'd imagine there are more exciting places than this for similar rates. As they say, pays your money and takes your choice. You can visit their web site on www.hotelclubedolago.com, where you'll find pictures, 360 degree views, information, ... Read review

Advantages: Clean good sized rooms. Efficient staff. The cold buffet breakfast
Disadvantages: The hot breakfast dishes and noise from the bar opposite

A modern and comfortable hotel with good sized clean rooms and an excellent bathroom. It is located 5 minutes from the marina and 15 minutes from the centre. The best beach is a further 10 minute walk away. A good swimming pool with free sunbeds. Breakfast is plentiful with a good choice which can be categorized in 2 parts. Cold buffet is superb, The hot food is moderate. The scrambled eggs were inedible and there was no fried eggs. The sausages ...
...intolerable. The staff were first class in efficiency. The hotel was let down down by the location being opposite a beer garden that had live music until 1.30 many mornings which kept us awake. For us the noise and from the bar and the location were the only real negative issue from what was otherwise a lovely stay. ... Read review

Advantages: Very stylish, surprisingly cheap
Disadvantages: Not a lot of reasons for most people to go there

...time I stayed in a hotel in small-town Portugal was nearly 20 years ago in the out-of-the-way north-eastern town of Braganca. It was a tiny hotel with a room so small you had to walk over the bed to get to the window and every evening the restaurant would fill up with men in blue overalls, drinking the local hooch, smoking cigarettes out of the corner of their mouths and waiting to see the latest Brazilian soap operas on the TV that was constantly ...
...with a booking for the Hotel Cidnay. It was going to cost me around Euro70 for the night so I was expecting something pretty basic. I certainly didn't expect a stylish chic hotel that looked like it was straight out of the pages of Elle Deco. Where is it? Santo Tirso is a small industrial town about half an hour north of Porto. I would imagine you'd probably only go there for business or because you knew someone local. Wikipedia tells me ... Read review

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: cleanliness, service, overbooking

This hotel have an awful service, starting with the breakfast, that is horrible, and the cleanliness: towels are broken, blankets are dirty and the swimmingpool's toilets are so dirty that is better avoid to go into. Moreover the recepcion's service is horrible and painful. I'm going to tell my situation: we arrived to the hotel, here we was assisted for a miss, who told us that the hotel had a problem with the pipings and we had a book in other ...
...asked where was the other hotel but we didn't have answer. When we arrived to the other hotel we realiced that this hotel was too far, and there wasn't transport near to go to the beach, and to go to lisbon. We decided to go to the beach by taxi, because we didn't have other option. When we return to the hotel we asked if they are going to pay the taxi's price but the denied to paid us. When a partner ask for the security box key, the receptionist ... Read review

Advantages: Location!
Disadvantages: Nothing!

...and came to find Costa da Caparica. --Getting There-- If you are on a late flight into Lisbon i would say you would be best to catch a taxi to the hotel. This costs around €40.00 which isnt too bad for a 25 minute jouney but i think some of the taxi drivers do try and pull the wool over your eyes especially if you are obviously a tourist. The taxis do charge an extra €1.60 for luggage, not much i know but worth mentioning. If you are on a earlier ...
...153 bus (€2.50) to Costa Da Caparica. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the bus stop. I found it best to catch a taxi to the hotel and the catch the bus to the airport on your way home once you have your bearings. --Hotel Info-- The 'hotel' is not so much of a hotel, rather a hostel but please dont forget about this little gem just beause of that. Even though Praia Do Sol is sold to you as a hotel all paperwork inside and around the rooms show ... Read review
