Flôr de Sal Review

Casa Melo Alvim has more charm and tranquillity, but in terms of facilities and comfort, Flôr de Sal is the town's leading hotel. It stands at the edge of the Atlantic's waters, and all of its rooms open onto uninterrupted views of the lashing waves. Although lacking folksy charm, the hotel is one of the most avant-garde and modern in the north of Portugal. Bedrooms are elegant, tasteful, and supremely comfortable with state-of-the-art bathrooms. All the accommodations are graced with large windows, and those facing the west also have private balconies or terraces. The less desirable rooms face east and the mountains in the distance.

Some of the finest dining in town is found at this hotel, which serves the best buffet lunch in the area, followed by a delectable medley of regional dishes and international specialties for dinner. When the weather is good, dining is on a terrace overlooking the ocean. The facilities are wide ranging, including the best spa and health club in the area, along with two heated indoor saltwater swimming pools.

Facilities:
Restaurant; 2 bars; health club & spa; 2 indoor heated pools; room service; Wi-Fi (5€ per hour, in lobby)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
