Amazing Hotel!

We had a lovely stay at Calamar Hotel. The staff were so kind and the hotel has beautiful. We stayed in the 5 person suite on a girls trip and had the most fun. The views were incredible, the town has everything you need, and the hotel restaurant was delicious. Highly recommend staying at Calamar Hotel

Trop cher pour la prestation.

La décoration est froide, impersonnelle ! On croirait une clinique. La salle de petit déjeuner est triste et pas du tout chaleureuse. Les grandes baies vitrées sont couverte d’adhésif occultant. Pas de convivialité ! Le petit déjeuner est plutôt bas de gamme. Mauvais café, pas de fruit frais, salade de fruit tiède. La vue de la chambre est magnifique ! C’est déjà ça !

Bellissima struttura situata di fronte al mare. Dalla stanza da letto con vista (a pagamento) si può ammirare il mare e sentirne il rumore. Hotel moderno e stanza spaziosa e molto pulita. Letti comodissimi e possibilità di parcheggio in loco. Personale giovane e gentile. Spa inclusa nel prezzo con jacuzzi e sauna. Uniche note negative: 1. colazione non inclusa nel prezzo (5 euro a persona) e visto il costo della stanza poteva essere inclusa 2. Servizio massaggi non disponibile (il massaggiatore esterno non ha mai risposto alla reception) 3. SPA senza la vista mare

Super hôtel face à l'océan

Très bel hôtel, très récent, les chambres sont vastes, lumineuses, la salle de bain très agréable. Magnifique vue sur l'océan, la piscine d'eau de mer et la piscine extérieure de l'hôtel. En prime, une piscine intérieure chauffée avec jacuzzi et sauna. Les jeunes filles à la réception sont adorables et font tout pour vous rendre service. Petit déj très complet servi au restau de l'hôtel. A 200 m à pied, tous les petits restaurants du bord de mer. Nous y avons séjourné fin juin, à un prix imbattable : 86 € la chambre double vue océan par nuit, petit déj inclus. Je recommandechaleureusement

Lovely Place

Excellent hotel, in a beautiful location, only a few metres from the sea, and with the mountains right behind. Very helpful and friendly staff and perfectly clean bedrooms, pools, communal areas etc. Bar and restaurant serve great food and drink at very reasonable prices. Great views in all directions and good places to walk around the hotel. São Vicente is a nice small town with shops and restaurants. We particularly liked the promenade a short stroll to the east.

Bel hôtel calme et moderne.

Hôtel très récent, décoré avec goût et situé en bord de mer. La nuit vous êtes bercés par le bruit des vagues. Accueil efficace et souriant. Chambre spacieuse très bien équipée. Salle de bain très propre. Piscine extérieure et intérieure avec sauna. Le jacuzzi mériterait d’être un peu plus chaud. Serviettes et peignoir fournis. Parking au pied de l’hôtel. Restaurant dont le niveau est de qualité inférieure. Le petit-déjeuner basique.

Muito decepcionado, chegamos às 20h para fazer o Chek in e depois quando chegamos ao quarto deparamos com o quarto todo por limpar, roupa lençóis tudo sujo, ninguém por lá tinha passado para ver se o quarto tinha sido limpo. Ligamos logo para a recepção e nos pediram desculpa e iriam chamar alguém para efectuar a limpeza no entanto pediram para aguardar uma meia hora e nesse tempo nem 1 copo de água nos ofereceram. Fomos até ao bar do hotel pedimos a bebida enquanto esperávamos pela limpeza do quarto e mais uma vez o funcionário do bar nos esqueceu por 20mnts Hotel lindo, zona calma

Séjour agréable.

Équipe attentionnée, accueil chaleureux. Hôtel propre et récent, situation géographique adéquate. Nous avons pris une chambre avec vue partielle sur l'océan qui nous offrait un paysage entre montagne et mer parfait. Piscine intérieure propre, avec une eau un peu fraîche mais ça reste agréable. Bon petit-déjeuner, avec fruits frais coupés (très agréable). Aucun regret sur le choix de l'hôtel. J'y reviendrai avec plaisir.

Excelente sítio para passar com companheiro (a)

Acerca do atendiemento ao público nada a dizer, tudo fantástico mesmo, desde a recepcionista ao resto do staff. Fica o sentimento de pouca privacidade porque piscina interior dá ideia que é frequentada não só por hóspedes. Quanto ao pequeno almoço achei pouca variedade de produtos. Nos quartos sem dúvida que é o melhor, limpeza e tranquilidade que permitem descansar. Vidros duplos e a garrafa de água no quarto elevam a qualidade do serviço. Sugestões: Piscina exterior artificial deveria ser apenas usada pelos hóspedes e não pelo público em geral.
