Very nice just had some difficulty with the AC. There aren’t many restaurants near the property as well so just something to note.

The reception staff is poorly trained and does not match the 5* standard of the hotel. Also no help with the luggage was offered, which is standard in a 5* hotel. Otherwise, the hotel offers everything a 5* hotel should have. Beautiful rooms and great location.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel!!Wish i could stay for at least, 1 week. All areas of the hotel are beautiful. The bedrooms are spacious, super clean.In terms of beds, the mattresses are extremely comfortable, had such a good night sleep!!!Totally recomend this hotel.

Phew the hotel is pretty dated. Most facilities closed. Breakfast staff very rude. Would not stay here again unless it was an emergency.

During COVID, any traveler is likely concerned about safety and cleanliness and availability of the services, so I would have expected that the hotel would take extra care to communicate these things. The front desk did not communicate well and there was no written information, so we were uninformed that 1) breakfast was on a timed / sign up basis even if included with the room 2) housekeeping needed to be requested otherwise was not provided.

The service at this hotel (with the exception of the friendly gentleman who led us to our table at breakfast) exists on a sliding scale between indifferent to guests' existence and hugely inconvenienced by you. Not friendly at all and certainly not in keeping with the standards you might expect from a five star hotel. Rooms are very comfortable and stylishly laid out - this is the best thing about the place, without a doubt. For a hotel with so many rooms, there is only a very small pool. When we went for a swim in the late afternoon, there were a dozen people in the water and this made it quite impossible to swim at all. There were several people with their beach towels on the grass because there were so few loungers available. We went to the beach bar for a salad for lunch. The pleasant sounding rustic salad arrived in bowls so small as to be insufficient to feed the youngest of children. And this was not a case of it being small portions of haute cuisine, it was a few leaves of rocket, with some peeled apple and cubed chicken out of a packet. My wife's version was even worse than mine, with almost no chicken, mushrooms or asparagus. At €14 a pop, I felt this was ridiculous. The offering, in terms of drinks, was uninspired and akin to what you might expect from the most basic bar. The communal spaces were often in unfinished concrete, which was ugly. I think this hotel gets by purely by its association with the Vista Alegre name and its location. Disappointing.

Good place to stay

It was our second visit and we love this hotel. Love the spacious, super clean and nicely decorated rooms. The pool area is beautiful with a great view over the river.

Everything is wonderful spacious room with pool view balcony. Indoor pool with sauna. Very good restaurant worth for lunch or dinner. Also complementary access to the Vista Alegre Museum. Nice and helpful staffs. Also you should try their Spa

Wonderful hotel. Great location, amazing layout. Minimalistically decorated but that's exactly what it needs. Very spacious areas. Great breakfast, for Continental. Rooms were just right. If I could change one thing it would be the bathtub curtains. This is mostly a message for the hotel. It's an old style tub, placed away from the walls, so, unless you want the water to go all over th efloor, one must close the curtains around us, 360 degrees. Once the water splashes down, it generates enough force to "vaccum" the curtains inwards, causing them to stick to your body everywhere. Bit annoying. On day 2, I just let the floor get wet. But great hotel an ddefinitely recommend to everyone.

Indoor pool and spa are a perfect touch. Modern hotel with all the amenities you are looking for.

I Like all in the Montebelo Vista Alegre Ílhavo Hotel

Modern, clean and excellent service. Breakfast was very good.
