Older rooms with some degraded elements. Would certainly qualify for 3-star, but not 4-star anymore. Same applies for breakfast

Great location and excellent view

The Turkish bath and sauna were not going, so we had to ask for someone to come to get them functioning. While hotel staff person came quickly, it took too long for both to get up to temperature. Because we didn’t have the time to wait we didn’t use them.

Hotel do Mar is a charming older property that architecturally reflects the decade of the 60s during which it was built. The competent and lovely reception staff walked us to our room and helped us understand where everything was. The layout of the elevators is a bit confusing, but the gorgeous views everywhere make up for the inconvenience you may experience navigating around the interior of the hotel. The indoor pool was clean and spacious (We did not use the outdoor pool ). The amenities offered in the room were as described and expected. We found the beds comfortable, and everything in the bathroom worked well. The light outside on our little balcony didn’t work properly, but The hotel staff person came immediately to fix it. The hotel sits above the town in a fantastic location for walking along the beach and enjoying shopping, restaurants, bars, etc. in the town below. We chose not to go to the hotel and the restaurant for dinner or the bar. Staff were helpful and gave us great recommendations for where to eat and things to see, Including neighborhoods to check out (we were looking for a house to potentially buy). The included breakfast was delicious with much to choose from And enough food to take us through the day till almost dinner time. I chose the hotel because they have a good size parking lot, which is unusual in this town where there is limited parking that you have to pay for.

It is getting a bit outdated, the bathroom in the bedroom is old, the windows were old, the gym could use new equipment and some additional tools. Overall, it shows the hotel has not been renovated in a while.

The location is amazing, the staff is really nice and concerned about your wellbeing. Meals were tasty and diverse

The hotel is a bit like a labyrinth

The location is lovely, with amazing views from the hotel room.

The decor is fun, in a mid century modern way, but the facilities definitely show their age. However, for the price, we can overlook some of the more time-worn aspects.

The location is great — right on the beach. All rooms have sea views and balconies. The breakfast offered a lot of options. The indoor pool was helpful on a colder, windier day. A solid option in Sesimbra!

The hotel is dated and requires a major renovation. The biggest complaint is the hardness of beds.

Excellent prime location. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean is an unforgettable experience. Private hotel parking nearby. The staff were amazing, especially at the reception and the restaurant. The views from the balcony and also from the public areas are breathtaking. The indoor swimming pool is good size with warm water. It was not crowded during our stay.

Location and classic period style

The door back to the building is opened by contacting staff through intercom. Eight of us waited for too long to get back in - room keys do not work. This needs to be improved. Rooms and building are quite dated and have a bit of a moldy smell. Toilet sounded like a jet taking off. 4 pm to get into the room is quite late and resulted in a big line up and this was the off season. Mandatory bathing caps in the pool was weird. Very complicated design and difficult to find your way around especially as some of the signs are partially obscured.

Great location with easy access to the waterfront and good restaurants. Excellent breakfast - possibly the best of our 6 weeks of travel. Many choices including a few hot items. Enough good choices if you would like a healthy breakfast.

The room didn't overlook the sea at all, but could be seen from the balcony. The cooked part if breakfast was very poor.

View from the reception. Excellent cleaning. Excellent breakfast room staff.

The layout is kind of weird, easy to get lost. The bed was rock hard. The tub is weirdly narrow, not great if you have mobility issues or need more space. There is no coffee or tea available in the room and you are not allowed to take one from breakfast. No kettle either. You maybe be able to pay extra or a coffee at room service though. If you want to enjoy a sunrise coffee on your balcony, you'll have to bring your own kettle and supplies!

Very good location, all rooms have ocean view and a balcony. Breakfast was pretty good, they also changed it up each day. Room is spacious. Enjoyed listening to the waves everyday. The staff at the desk and breakfast were great.

Noting to declare 😉

Hôtel has a perfect location : 1st line on the beach, close to city center. Hôtel is from the sixties, so It has huge spaces and has been totally refurbished but it has kept some of his old furnitures that give him style & charm that u can not find in a modern one! Hotel is drenched by sun thanks to the large windows everywhere 😎😃 Bar is cool & indoor pool Is large and water is hot! 👍
