Douro Marina Hotel & SPA

The hotel was very basic but also very clean. The spa was great for relaxing. The room was clean, large and had a beautiful view of the river. Breakfast was varied and very good with traditional food. The hotel is located in a very calm place, next to the river, close to two restaurants and a bar to have a drink in the evening (there's only one bar in this place). Wifi in your room, fairly good signal...parking outside of the hotel.

The spa service was disorganized, too many people and not enough chairs to put things on. The spa area was too small to allow so many people at the same time. And literally nothing at all to do neArby ad you are approx 5miles away from civilization, if we want to do something different like take a coffe and see some people, we have to drive like 8 minutes to find the civilization...

This hotel is located right on the N222 road that takes you scenically along the River Douro so is easy to find. Limited parking at the Hotel however there was plenty of space in the quiet roads alongside. The staff I met spoke enough English to make communication easier. There is a lift to the bedroom floors that has a clear glass side and room 101 was excellent. Well equipped and comfortably spacious (I did request a superior room). The bathroom was tiled from floor to ceiling in marble tiles, Again, very spacious. I liked the efficiency of a set of QR codes beside the bed that provided access to information about al hotel services. I did not use the Spa on my overnight stay however dinner was excellent. There is a small marina area opposite the Hotel that provides a good place for a walk and to get alongside the Douro river. There was space for selling local produce here but it was not open at the time of my visit (early April 2022). Breakfast is self service with a very good choice.

With a continental style breakfast I did not expect to see a container of bacon, egg & sausage. I tried this however the container struggled to keep the contents hot.

I really liked the breakfast and spa, they were really nice. I had really relaxed day in the spa. The breakfast has a great variety and it is really delicious.

The hotel gave us a premium room, but the minibar was dirty and the room was with a smoke smell. We request if it was possible to have another room, and the hotel change us to another room. The staff was really helpful.

Douro Marina Hotel & Spa is an amazing hotel to spend a few days. It is a simple hotel in a small village but offers you everything you could possibly need. The rooms are comfortable and always clean, the pool is good and my experience at the Spa was amazing. The breakfast has variety for all types of foodies and the main plus point is the staff who is always ready to help.

The breakfast is amazing, the spa is great. It is close to the river and it has restaurants and bars close by. Although the room was small it was really confortable. Good place to have a romantic getaway or to relax.

My room had a bathtub and I would prefer a shower. The spa could have more instructions on how to manage the jacuzzi and some of other features.

SPA is very comfortable, and I was alone both times I went (morning and evening)

Breakfast doesn’t have many vegan options but still it was okay. Juices weren’t fresh

Breakfast was amazing ,couldn’t ask for more..spa was excellent..room was perfect ,toilet was very clean ..but…old fashion decorating..

Decoration on the standard of the toilet …to old for a 4 star hotel

Breakfast was great. Swimming pool is nice.

Terrace outside for restaurant could be better. Not good shadow places.

Very accommodating staff

Nice place to stay, very quite but nice room and nice spa.

The food in the restaurant is so so. Not something to come back for Breakfast was o.k.
