Wonderful location, easy to walk to restaurants etc. great views from Roof top Bar area. More care needs to be taken with signage in public spaces as floors have uneven surfaces and drop offs with no warning. I had a nasty fall on a wet marble floor…..no signage and still bruised badly and suffering with body pain and wounds. Staff were helpful and considerate but this should not happen.

Pros: Great Location near the beach. Nice rooftop pool.

The rooms were spacious and clean. Desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Fine breakfast selection. Pool maybe a bit small but plenty of loungers etc. Nice bar. Did not appear to be a restaurant for an evening meal but this was not a problem for us. A fine hotel which met all of our expectations.

This hotel is in a good position overlooking the sea (not all rooms do so) They serve breakfast which is buffet based with a wide variety of food. There is a bar and swimming pool on the roof which is a suntrap. The hotel is well placed if you enjoy walking - go left for the Douro and right for the promenade and beaches which are good. There plenty of eateries at all prices in the area (including 2 Michelin ones) it is better to book in advance as the locals also enjoy eating out!! My only gripe is that I booked through Expedia and offered to pay - they took my credit card details and gave them to the hotel - when the hotel tried to take the payment it was declined by our bank and they blocked the card permanently - luckily we had a 2nd card!!

Lovely hotel away from the town, at the river mouth. Very comfortable room and bathroom. Nice rooftop snack bar with a lovely view towards the ocean. There are few restaurants around. The area is perfect for walks along the river or the ocean. I would recommend it to those who want to stay away from the busy area.

Great spot to stay with access to all Foz do Douro has to offer, and easy access to central Porto. Breakfast was fresh and had a lot of options. Rooms were small but comfortable with nicely updated bathrooms.

Great and cozy hotel
Great stay. Nice room. The gym is small but have the needed equipment.
Though during the afternoon, it wasn’t possible to order any drinks in more than 1 hour. We survived, but that could be improved.

Porto by the Ocean.
Hotel Boa-Vista is placed 200 m. from the Atlantic Ocean, and our stay was very good.
We found some good bars and beach restaurants and the sunset was very beautiful.
The city of Porto was easy to reach by bus nr. 500 or a walk for an hour.
We enjoyed the combonation of beach, hotel pool and the city.
We recommend a Dourotrip by boat.

Very good value. Lovely hotel in superb location by the River. Friendly and polite reception staff. Room is small but very clean and comfortable. The only disappointment was the breakfast, no service from waiter, rotten fruit, old scrambled egg and disappointing Pastel de Nata. Better to go out for breakfast at a cafe.
