Vila Foz Hotel and SPA

"My first experience at a 5* hotel and I must say a new experience The rooms and spa was exceptional the only thing that let it down one star was the service at breakfast food was amazing even though I am not a big breakfast man eggs cooked to perfection meat fruit etc great biggest let down was the service maybe the way it should be but had better service with less stars Constantly had to ask for coffee cooked eggs and top up To those that like oysters champagne and everything refined maybe your cup of earl grey but as a hard working business owner felt second class"

"I had previously stayed at this hotel and decided to enjoy the restaurant with my family and my father during a special trip. Unfortunately, the experience was far from what we expected. My children were served their meat course first and had already completely finished eating while, after almost two hours, we still had not received our main courses. After asking several times, my carpaccio, my husband’s risotto and my father’s dish finally arrived, but my father’s plate was cold. It was honestly quite upsetting to experience this in such a unique place, especially after repeatedly asking about the delay. In the end, we simply accepted the situation and decided to go elsewhere for coffee. I only wish my father, who is already elderly, could have enjoyed a much better experience."

"Great location for us as we like to walk, it’s 90 minutes into town and 30 minutes to Matosinhos, but if you’re can’t walk that far there’s an excellent bus service running right outside the hotel both ways catch the 500 service. Both ways are scenic and on the sea front. The hotel is an old villa and most of the rooms are in a modern block within the grounds, it’s best to get a room with a sea view. Rooms spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The cleaning staff were excellent and polite. Although we didn’t dine in the restaurant at night, we had breakfast every day, the choice was excellent and varied with a buffet and a great egg menu cooked to order. The hotel supplied us with pedal cycles and it really is an ideal location for cycling up the coast Matosinhos. We enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine left in the room. Whilst there we celebrated a birthday and were surprised to receive a knock on our door to find room service delivering a complimentary bottle of fizz and cake We would like to thank the hotel and all their staff for making our visit feel very special"
