Besides a leak from the above room that dripped onto my bathroom floor, it was excellent: shampoo, nice towels, firm bed, and the ocean view!!!! Couldn't ask for a better location. Staff are great. Parking for free? A bit of a hike straight uphill (* but i like exploring!)

The property is right on the boardwalk facing the ocean. This can be good or bad! Lots of activity being on the main boardwalk. We enjoyed our stay. It is an older motel but was clean with comfortable beds.

Hotel Ribamar was an amazing stay. Being an American, I was surprised by not having a fridge access or any ice in the hotel; however, that is typical for Portugal. It was a super charming hotel with an INCREDIBLE view.

It is for those who likes old times design and atmosphere, furniture and bathroom with separated hot and cold water taps. But everything is very clean. The view through the window is amazing. The beach is awesome, waves are incredible. No parking space at all, I had to drive 3 circles and finally left the car 7 mins walk away.

Affordable on the beach
Great location opposite beach. Friendly staff. If traveling by car drop off and pickup allowed in reserved spot in front of hotel. Free parking available off site in public carparks. Note: no elevator, if that’s a concern. Otherwise enjoyed our stay.

The attendant was mad because we arrived at 8pm, he said checkin was until 7pm and he was about to check me as absent. He was extremely rude and made me feel terrible. The information said check in until 12 It’s a great location but there is not parking or elevator

Love this ocean front quaint hotel. Location is perfect and close to the funicular. Great value! My suggestion to the hotel staff would be to clearly post restaurant schedule/availability for your off-season guests (not the same as what is advertised or posted in the room door). Also communicate when the front desk will be staffed and how to reach staff when there is no one at the desk. Great little hotel!

The parking was a mess. It is a busy beach town, it would have been so great to have some kind of valet parking service, we had to walk 20 minutes up hills to park, and we are a little older. The location on the beach was fantastic!! Breakfast was ok. And the coffee machine was terrible.

Great location but bad bedding
They did not clean the room or change towels. The beds are not confortable. Very well located, by the beach. Breakfast ok. Very noisy neighborhood and since there is no air conditioning we have the windows open.

This is a quaint old hotel with just the basics. No air conditioning and if you leave the windows open the street noise is very loud until at lease 2:00 am. The breakfast was lovely, proximity the the beach and restaurants is ideal. Parking is a problem, there is no onsite parking. When we arrived midday we parked about 1.5 miles from the hotel, later in the evening we moved the car closer just up the side street 2-3 blocks from the hotel. Note there is no elevator

A truly classic hotel! I had an emergency and had to stay overnight at Nazaré last week. I booked the most affordable and convenient hotel I found in Expedia. To my great surprise, it was right in the main street along the beach. A very classic hotel, like the ones you would see in movies of the early 20th century. The staff was super kind, the room was very well maintained and updated. Not a super modern or trendy hotel, but like a good Port this hotel has aged well and retained its classic soul (just talk to the managers for a few minutes and you will see how much they love this place and help guests). My room had a fantastic window and terrace with a view of the ocean, which I enjoyed a lot. The breakfast was great and at an unbeatable price, and even came with a great conversation with the manager who gave me lots of recommendations to enjoy the area. Even at the rainiest of the winter, the hotel irradiates a homely warmth that I will treasure forever. I can't wait to be back, specially at summer when the yellow and white details of the hotel will perfectly complement the blue of the ocean and the striking of the Nazaré cliffs.

Hotel Ribamar
We stayed one night at Ribamar during our roadtrip along the coast of Portugal. For a 1 star hotel, Ribamar was fantiastic! We got a room with ocean view (the hotel is right on the beach), it was clean, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was tasty. Tatiana in the reception helped us out with the COVID-19 self-test and stored our luggage on the day of our checkout. She was super helpful!

Perfect location but needs upgrades
We booked a 2 bedroom which wasn’t possible since the door wouldn’t shut. The floor was missing pieces and because of this the kids looked directly at our bed. We had to lay a blanket on the floor to keep from getting injured.
The views from the hotel are beautiful but keep in mind not all rooms face the ocean
You walk out of the hotel and you are on the beach. A hut rental is 7€ and totally worth it!
The ocean here is beautiful

First of all they lied about the free parking as we had to go around nazaré looking for parking. Secondly, it says in the property description that if I opened the windows I could see the beach, and it's not all I could see is next building. Thirdly I tried to take a shower and almost flood the bathroom

Tatiana at the desk was awesome. Location was superb. Price was Fair. Terrible sour wood smell in room almost caused us to leave. Shower was dangerous. Breakfast was sparse and poorly attended to. (There were cornflakes but no bowls or milk.). Common area was pleasant. We would not stay again.

Proximity and view excellent. Staff was overall good to excellent, depending who you’re dealing with. Breakfast was good. Room was small, very uncomfortable bed, shower head slipping, hair dryer plug was broken off, parking was a little difficult, but weekdays are easier. Heard dinner was very good from other guests but did not witness first hand. Probably would not recommend mainly due to uncomfortable bed.
