Quick break Portamao

"Stayed 3 nights. Nice spacious room. Quiet. A 5 min walk from reception and excellent breakfast. Disappointing we couldn’t have a bite and a drink overlooking marina in afternoon. That space only open at 18.30 I believe. But excellent in many ways and I would recommend."

5/5 Excellent
A wonderful location for a relaxing holiday
"We spent five amazing days at the Interpass Vau Hotel. We couldn’t believe the standard of accommodation and facilities for the price we paid. The Junior Suite with balcony overlooking the sea was perfect for this length of stay. The breakfast offered lots of choice and the staff were always courteous and helpful. The location, only ten minutes’ walk from Vau beach and about hall an hour from Praia da Rocha, was just right. The one negative was that the bed was a bit too firm for me but the housekeeping staff did their best to address this and I ended up putting pillows on top of the mattress, which made it comfy enough. All in all, we had a great stay at this hotel and hope to return in the future. "
