Hotel Miramar Sul

We had family trip with 3 People. We had big hotelroom, with double bed and single bed in first floor. Big terrace. You need a car to go to center for dinner. Or you walk 40 minutes. Nice pool and nice breakfast.

Not good at all. The room was old , the ceiling light broken, walls were damped . Peter was the reception guy when we checked in and he was rude , arrogante and not cool at all. The only good thing was the view. That was spectacular. You need ace to go to town, it’s like 10/15 minutes, there was free parking at the hotel, breakfast was very disappointing , the mattress was super hard.

Excellent panoramic bar with views of Nazaré harbour, beach, town & Sao Miguel fort & lighthouse. 4 star luxury, clean hotel with indoor swimming pool & outdoor infinity pool. Room service , bar menus good variety & buffet breakfast served from 7.30am. Sun worshippers paradise, family friendly. Commuting by uber best value, buses & trains to Porto & Lisbon.

Absolutely Appalling Experience – Avoid This Hotel at All Costs Hello everyone, I’ve just had what I can only describe as the worst hotel experience of my life at Hotel Marimar. Upon arrival, we were informed that there were no rooms available — despite our booking — and were directed by the receptionist to their “sister hotel,” Marimar Sul, supposedly of the same quality and only a 3-minute drive away. We followed her recommendation, which turned out to be a huge mistake. Upon arrival at Marimar Sul, we were greeted by a so-called “handsome” receptionist in a tired, outdated lobby. We asked to view the available rooms — especially those with a sea view — before committing to payment, a standard and reasonable request. Shockingly, the receptionist refused to show any room unless we paid in advance. Despite the red flags, I selected their presidential suite, which was theoretically the best they had to offer. What we saw was disgusting: the room smelled like old, sweaty socks, the furniture was worn out, stained, and filthy, and the entire space felt neglected and unhygienic. We immediately decided to leave. I asked for an immediate refund, but the receptionist claimed he couldn’t process it and told us to send an email and wait for a reply “maybe” tomorrow. I requested written confirmation of this conversation for my records — he flat-out refused. When I demanded to speak with the manager, he ignored me completely. No explanation, no apology. Just silence and disregard. Eventually, after insisting and escalating the situation, he handed me the cash refund with a smirk and the words: “Thank you and never come back.” That sentence alone sums up the attitude of this hotel toward their guests — rude, arrogant, and completely unprofessional. To the HR Manager of this establishment: if you care at all about your hotel’s reputation, I urge you to seriously reconsider the training and attitude of your staff. This experience was not only disappointing, it was disgraceful. To fellow travelers: think twice — there are far better options in the area. Don’t waste your time, money, or energy here.

For a 4-star hotel, this place didn’t meet expectations. The location is good, and sea view rooms offer a nice view. The indoor pool is uncomfortably warm with poor ventilation, while the outdoor pool is nice but very crowded, especially with kids. The room had weak AC, no ventilation in the bathroom, and poor Wi-Fi. Overall, the experience wasn’t terrible, but it’s not up to 4-star standards.
