Santana Hotel & Spa, Vila do Conde

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the views from the bar and dining areas were stunning, and the staff in the restaurant were very pleasant. However, the room I initially had was disappointing due to a poor view and the overall maintenance of the hotel left much to be desired. The dining experience was lackluster, with limited variety in breakfast offerings, which could definitely use some improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While I appreciated the friendly staff and the spacious room we were eventually moved to, the initial room was not up to standard and the dining options left much to be desired. It's a decent place overall, but it's clear that improvements are needed in terms of maintenance and dining variety.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the bright side, I appreciated the spaciousness of the rooms and the fantastic breakfast options, which were both varied and delicious. However, the service left much to be desired, with some unfriendly staff members and long wait times at the bar. Also, the indoor pool facilities, while okay, could use some maintenance. Overall, it had its moments but wasn't the relaxing spa getaway I hoped for.

The hotel has a lot of potential with its large and spacious rooms and a fantastic indoor pool, perfect for relaxation. However, the upkeep of the property leaves much to be desired, with cleanliness issues and outdated facilities. I was particularly disappointed in the dining experience as the breakfast lacked variety. Overall, it's a mixed bag in terms of value for money.

The hotel has some redeeming qualities, like the friendly staff and spacious rooms. However, it is undermined by its poor upkeep and inadequate dining options. The overall cleanliness leaves much to be desired, and the amenities feel outdated. For a supposed 4-star hotel, it certainly doesn't meet the expectation, and I would advise considering other options.
