Costa Verde Hotels with Swimming Pool

"Only stayed one night so didn’t get to take advantage of everything but the restaurants were wonderful, the staff were excellent. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Most excellent property. "

"Large room, well airconditioned, very comfortable beds. The three twin ben layout was excellent. Very close to grocery store, coffee, shopping. "

"We booked an executive twin room and were told on arrival that we had been upgraded from that room (which would have been on the 10th, 11th or 12th floor) to Room 1706 near the top of the hotel, with a fantastic view out over Porto to the Douro River and even a little piece of the Atlantic Ocean. The room was extremely quiet and very comfortable (although the pillows could use an upgrade). The internet connection was out our first night, so neither TV nor wifi worked, but we told the desk staff about it when we went out our first morning and it was fixed by the time we got back. Breakfast was very nice, served in a very large room, with lots of choices (including port and sparkling wine!) and specialty coffees available by order. The hotel is not centrally located, but metro stops are within walking distance and the metro is very easy to use, and taxis (inexpensive by US standards) easily got us to train stations for day trips and to the airport for departure."
