Sande Hotel Guide - Hotels with Pool in Sande, Marco de Canaveses

"Beautiful property and the staff was awesome. "

"This was our first stay at Douro Palace and as we arrived and parked up we were amazed with location and appearance of the site. We were really pleased with the welcome we received and then when we arrived at our room, which we had booked with a river view, were amazed with the view - we’d really recommend a river view room. We enjoyed the outdoor pool that was available 24 hours with a bar open in the daytime. We ate both nights we stayed at the restaurant which had really good portion sizes and the food quality was impeccable. The breakfast had a really good selection too and was all of very high quality. We’ll be sure to recommend Douro Palace to anyone we know is visiting the area! We did realise it’s a bit of a drive for the main, well known, wineries and boat trips but the quality of the hotel made that a ‘not problem’!"

"Staff were so helpful in finding us a wine tasting on short notice. Such a special place! Food was amazing! Can’t say enough about their level of service."

"The staff were friendly and attentive, the property was gorgeous and the food was AMAZING. Definitely looking forward to a return visit one day. "

"Wow! A wonderful location with very friendly and helpful staff. The food was excellent and views from the restaurant….. and hotel outstanding: very much recommend this hotel "

"Fabulous hotel - almost Belmond but not quite. Rooms are excellent (must comfortable beds with down pillows). Breakfast is superb. Pool service a bit sporadic but overall the staff were wonderful. "

"Fantastic retreat in the hills, you immediately lose any stress when you step through the door. Fantastic customer service and the two hour boat trip was amazing the couple who run it are local and very knowledgeable and friendly "

"Lovely hotel. The room was spacious and clean. The spa was heaven as the indoor pool, hot tub and Turkish bath were included. I didn't see the sense in having to buy the shower cap/swimming cap as it wasn't waterproof "

"I expected more to be honest especially for the prices. Ive used the spa facility before and that is brilliant but this was the first time staying. Lobby looks great but rooms need renovating. There was also a christmas party on one of the nights so music was quite loud and could be heard in the room thankfully it wasn't on till very late but still not what you expect when staying at a soundproof hotel. The spa hours are also restricted some days so we were unable to use the facilities during our stay. Other hotels have extended hours for guests and earlier opening times. "
