Hotel Paiva — Hotel in Vila Real de Santo António

good room, balcony with safe enclosure, right by pedestrian area and 15 mn walk to beach. Elevator. No safe in room nor hotel; no parking (or rather, it is full) - there is paid parking right in front but limited to 4hours max (then need to go back and pay) and it is very full too. Huge beach, with shower/toilets amenities and snack bars all along. Was windy. No pool nor restaurant onsite. Stinky bathroom. No place at all to put toiletries in bathroom. Worse pillows ever had in my life. Fridge makes a lot of noise and keeps you up at night. Not much bathroom amenities but there is a good vanity mirror. Peeling paint.||Breakfast: poor selection, supposed to be from 7:30 to 10:30 however old stuff and empty before and doesn’t get replenished. Awful coffee however you can lineup for a single...

Rooms also had great air conditioning and great wifi. ||||Highly recommend as a simple, clean hotel in a...

For more then 25 years I have visited Monte Gordo ,it is a lovely town and I have seen many changes not always for the best, but nothing has been more pleasant a surprise than my first stay here at Paiva hotel. I have stayed in nearly every hotel in MG most are tired and some have unfortunately closed. Paiva was a residencia not a hotel until recently. So I was surprised to find it on the Internet , I paid a good price and it is my favourite place to stay in the future. Staff are very pleasant and helpful ,the refurbishment is lovely and the breakfast is a treat every day fresh fruit and a traditional cake as well as eggs and local sausages and much more . Well done Paiva. We will...
