Perfect place for a relaxing getaway.

Very well kept hotel that is both close to the beach and to the medieval festival we were in town to visit. Wonderful restaurant within easy walking distance and the most amazing fabric store only 1.6 km to the north. Beautiful pool and pool area. Pancake machine at breakfast was a big hit with both children and adults. Loved the selection of fresh fruit on offer.

The main issue is that the hotel is 1.6 miles from the beach where the restaurants/bars etc are. Breakfast was fine. Pool is great. Staff were super helpful. Gym is outdated and running machines don’t work properly.

Très bon séjour à l'hôtel la fontaine. Chambre propre. Bons services de nettoyage, petit déjeuner continental complet. Personel très serviable et à l'écoute. Piscine propre et entretenue. Petit jacuzzi très appréciable. Services extra proposés (sauna, hammam, massage). Service de restauration sur place. Peu de fréquentation. Public familial. Court séjour suffisant.

A cama dizia ser King size e eram apenas 2 camas juntas, o quarto tinha as paredes bastante sujas e rachadas, a TV podia ser um pouco maior para o tamanha do quarto e o ar condicionado tinha o swing avariado logo não arejava tão bem o quarto. De resto tudo bom, atendimento excelente, o pequeno almoço bastante variado e uma excelente piscina.

La struttura è datata, ma la camera era pulita e spaziosa. La palestra è da rivedere, ma la piscina sembrava molto piacevole. Ampio parcheggio gratuito all’esterno. Non c’è il ristorante interno all’hotel ma il personale mi ha consigliato un ottimo ristorante lì vicino. Colazione buona.

El desayuno variado, buena ubicación con restaurantes cerca y excelente atención del personal, (Gracias Celso por tu amabilidad y en especial de Celso. Hotel tranquilo e ideal para familias.

La estancia ha sido muy buena, las habitaciones tenian camas muy grandes, aunque se nota que necesitan algo de mantenimiento, habia alguna humedad en el techo, los grifos no tenian mucha presion, pero en general todo muy correcto por el precio que pague. El personal super amable, tienen una piscina grande que no pudimos usar por el mal tiempo, pero nos facilitaron el uso del jacuzzi con el niño para que pudiera bañarse, ya que tenia agua caliente. El buffet del desayuno muy bueno, acorde con lo pagado es de buena calidad, aunque a ultima hora se hecha de menos que repongan los alimentos. Muy recomendable, aunque esmoriz no es una zona para nada turistica ni atractiva, pero esta cerca de oporto.
