Porto Frade Vacations from $1,194

😁👏

The gym was useless but you are there by yourself. It has one treadmill and size of a broom closet. Breakfast wasn’t the biggest of selection but not bad. Got the family room with ocean view, it was clean but lacked amenities for the price point. No slippers, at least include one bottle of water for free. Only a small table that fits 2. Barely room for 4 people ( and it was only 3 of us). Selling point is full ocean view but it’s a window that’s pretty high, at 5’3, I have to reach my neck to see out. Weird configuration, a small wall lamps next to night stand, if you are that side of bed, you can’t sit up in bed or you will hit your head. Rooftop view is amazing but area itself is very small. If even handful of guest there, it’s packed. The bar seats three but at least covered. Antonio, the bartender, what a kind, funny and sweet man. He made the stay for us with his pleasant smile. And the Italian restaurant, you have to eat there, the food is excellent. I mainly had their seafood which was amazing. Lemon risotto, perfectly cooked, easy dish to mess up but wow! The location was amazing, never felt unsafe. It’s cleaner than copa beach. Lots of restaurants near by and a small hole in the wall local bar/restaurant where the locals go to. Would I stay at this hotel again… probably not at the price point for the value received but I do prefer Ipanema over copa Ok, the good stuff
