Pros +
- Right on the beach. Beautiful views. Very nice staff.
- The location and proximity to the beach. The staff was very kind and helpful.
- The location was nice, the room was big and clean. I would go back to this location if I need a place to stay in this area.
Cons -
- Could not enjoy the views, all the windows were foggy. There was no hairdryer in the room as advertised. The shower drain was not draining properly. The hotel had a run-down aspect. The pool was not clean.
- The bathrooms were a bit gross; the grout and caulking in the shower was black and mold-looking and made a mess with each use. The windows are very difficult to open. The chairs and umbrellas on the beach require additional payment.
- The restaurant had certain hours of operation. It would have been nice if there was a small refrigerator in the room.

Location
Loved that it had a lot of personality, since it was an old fort. Being right off the beach was so nice as well.
Right on the beach
Great team of Staff.
The breakfast was not great.
Family Owned, right on the beach and has character. Front desk was so helpful and will definitely be back to stay!
We wanted to stay right on the water and Estalagem Muchaxo Hotel delivered. We appreciated the vintage/ retro curation so it met our needs exactly. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great with a full view of the beach and ocean.
This.place is out of a dream. Ocean view, sound of the waves at night. Luxurious retaurant, friendly staff.
It was close to the beach. You could walk to the breeze and cold ocean.
Outdated. Needs renovation urgently
The location
Everything it smells of mould and stale air the photos are totally out of date and false !! This hotel should be a 1 star not 4 it’s a disgrace
The owner of the establishment met us upon arrival. Mr Tony in his 90 plus young years and his lovely family are gracious… kind and loving .This Hôtel is more like a home.The property bost many historical factors that are a must to see and hear about.In a way it reminded me of a movie set.Mr Tony is very proud of the property- it started with four rooms.His father and family continue to build upon and make it was as it is today.Every nook and cranny is intriguing .You step back in time with the old Spanish Portuguese style . The rooms are modern with all the proper fire code enforcement. Elevator. pool.Adjoining the walls are pictures of celebrities presidents kings, princesses and people of royalty stay in this beautiful property. Rose Kennedy and the current present of Portugal stayed here. if the Walls could talk, and if you’re in tuned to speaking with spirits, you could actually feel the presence of these people (all good souls) especially in the ballroom and as you walk down holding onto the banisters one could only imagine those that graced these majestic walls.Dining and Bars with snack food are available .Dining and Breakfast overlook the ocean . Breakfast buffet was delicious especially the yogurt drink.There are no coffee pots or tea pots in the rooms, but in our room (balcony view ) had a mini fridge.Outside beach bar .Excellent staff.Beach location is key !In Europe -I found beachfront doesn’t always mean you can walk straight onto the beach. Many times and often times you must go down many steps or a cliff in order to obtain Beach access. …..But in this case, the beach is literally outside the door. Golden Sands await you .They do not offer beach chairs, but on the beach, you can obtain beach chairs from a local vendor. They do offer beach towels.Lifeguards are on dutyThe surf is enormous and perfect for board surfing- kite surfing and for swimming,The waves are definitely very strong.
Everything was great
Perfect view and location for a kitesurf trip. Very interesting and historic property. Great Breakfest
Location is 2nd to none; right on the beach and next to the dunes; absolutely stunning views and close proximity to many great locations!
The facilities were quite dated; the bathroom smelled like an open drain at times and the pillows were not comfortable.
Friendly staff & location. Free parking where available.Food was great.
Security check for residents with cars & visitors proof of identity. The car number plates & personal identification.
It's a great spot for sure. I went in spring and the beach was not crowded - just perfect. The big shred living room was very nice with the large views, but I mostly spent time outside as there are some beachside trails absurdly close.
Pleasant
Sea view room was partly sea view, the first view was parking from the first floor. But after my asking the room was changed. The breakfast was with very poor choice.
Great staff, super nice, restaurant has great food and amazing view
Worth the price, yet a bit expensive
Location is fantastic!!!
Old style, 70’s feeling…Renovation needed.
