Be warned its an old people's home. The room was very dated .Abit of an obstacle course . The hotel is clean and staff sorted out any problems. The pool is a good size but limited beds after 10am. Most had towels but no occupents till the afternoon. The breakfast is very good. we ate on the upper floor as to many dothereres on the ground floor.Great location for the beach and the towns bars and restaurants.

This hotel misrepresented their accommodations. We booked a "two bedroom apartment" but they tried to stick us in a single room with a double bed. This seems like blatant false advertising. I would not do business with this hotel again.

Pleasant centrally located great value. They had a Superb local Guitarist playing live with backing tracks, he was Really Good ! Large hotel in great shape with decor in the lobby from the 1990's.

We recently stayed at the Vasco da Gama hotel for a quiet off-season holiday. The hotel exceeded our expectations, offering a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxation. The majority of guests were 50 years and older, with only one or two children present, which suited our desire for a tranquil getaway.
Vasco da Gama's cleanliness was impressive throughout. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. They even advised us on fair taxi fares when we called upon landing, demonstrating their commitment to guest satisfaction from the outset.
The hotel's proximity to the beach was a major highlight, with easy access just a short walk away. The on-site pool, measuring approximately 15m by 10m, was a delight - clean, spacious, and featuring a small fountain that created a soothing ambiance with its gentle water sounds. A conveniently located bar near the pool area provided refreshments.
While we didn't participate, Vasco da Gama hosts nightly entertainment events, catering to those seeking evening activities. For quieter moments, there's a charming library area where we observed guests playing cards or engaging in friendly conversations.
The town offers diverse dining options within a 5-10 minute walk, including fresh seafood, traditional Portuguese dishes, burger joints, and even a sushi place. The beachfront restaurants on the decking provided particularly scenic dining experiences.
Overall, our stay at Vasco da Gama was thoroughly enjoyable. The quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and perfect location offering romantic beach walks and numerous dining options were exactly what we wanted. It struck an ideal balance between peaceful seclusion and easy access to local amenities. We would definitely return to Vasco da Gama for another relaxing holiday.

Old, somewhat, out of date hotel but its part of its charm. Superb location and great breakfast. Value for money very good.
