What guests think

Hotel Suave Mar earns praise from many Camino walkers and leisure guests for its friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, attractive pool and bar, and a scenic coastal location near the beach and town conveniences.

Breakfast and the on site restaurant receive frequent compliments, though a few guests found breakfast options limited. Rooms offer balconies or water views in some cases, but several note dated features, firm mattresses, and occasional corridor or construction noise. A practical, relaxing stop with minor age-related tradeoffs.

Bett und Zimmer sind gut, gross und geräumig. Bad sehr alt und nicht in der gewünschten Sauberkeit angetroffen. Während meines Aufenthaltes fanden Bauarbeiten an der Hotelfassade statt, direkt vor meinem Fenster und Balkon. Ich konnte diesen daher nicht nützen und es war äusserst lärmig. Da ich an diesem Tag fast 30km zu Fuss auf dem Camino zurück gelegt habe, wollte ich mich am Nachmittg auf dem zimmer ausruhen. Hätte mich gefreut, wenn Hotel mich darauf aufmerksam gemacht hätte oder mir ein anderes Zimmer gegeben hätte. Schien nämlich nicht viel los zu sein. Qualität des Frühstücks liess zu wünschen übrig. Orangensaft meines Vaters ungeniessbar, säuerlich als ob dieser bereits das MHD überschritten hat. Fazit, es war ok für eine Nacht.

After staying in 7 different hotels in 7 days in Portugal, the Suave Mar easily stands out as the best. Reception and bar staff (the only staff that I had contact with) were outstanding. The cleaning of my room and the rest of the hotel demonstrates the high standard of the domestics work. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpfull, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. It made for a super enjoyable stay. EFM
