I stayed here for two nights on a business trip and found the hotel was tired and under maintained. You get the impression that the hotel once was doing very well in the 60's or 70's but there has been no reinvestment since. Wifi is very bad and only available in the reception where there are no chairs. I would... More

My girlfriend surprised my for my birthday by flying me here as I love surfing and we'd been in uk and away from good beaches for ages. If you like great surf, then this place is for you. So close to the beach, we had a sea view room which was basic but good, with an awesome bed and nice... More

For the price we paid for a weeks accomodation and flights (£200 each) it was good value. The best thing was the location right on the beach which was excellent for us as we wanted to learn to surf. Theres a great little surf shop under the hotel facing the beach from where you can book surf/kite-surfing lessons, about 50... More

We were there late September and NEVER again. The area was beautiful but the hotel was sadly lacking. Needs major renovation and upgrade. Very dank, dirty, miserable and without atmosphere. At times we were the only ones in the bar. Furniture musty, smelly and depressing. No outside area for a drink or meal.

Dirty, dirty, unpleasent smell, very poor service, primitive breakfest. They are not even trying to clean the windows and rooms. Everything is like from terrible horror nightmare! Hotel is surrounded by the parking area for young surfers so all day long you have car and mofas noise and polution. Nice beach outside not for hotel guests as there are millions... More

Quirky and not for everyone but we loved this place. Liked the staff. Atmospheric. The enormous saltwater pool is fantastic. Of all the places we stayed in Portugal, this is where my teenagers want to return, I've promised them some surf lessons on the beach next year. Restaurant a bit pricey but Portugal not a foodie paradise anyway. We will... More

The hotel probably had a great time back in 1960's but it has not been renovated since. It is old - dirty and not corresponding with advertizing. The pool is not clean. Wifi is only available in two squaremeters in the receptionarea - no internet in the rooms. Breakfast is horrible and not fresh. The staff is out of service... More

If you want a 5 start hotel that looks the same as every other 5 star hotel all over the world then this is to for you. But if you want to old world charm, yes and that does include an element of things not being perfect, then Muchaxo is wonderful. We had a room with a sea view. The... More

We are just back from this hotel after a 2 week stay, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The hotel is 9km from Caiscais which is a dis-advantage as you need to get a taxi at night to get back to the hotel. The rooms were very basic and need an update. The food was lovely but there is... More
