Maçarico Beach Hotel

Hotel muy bien ubicado, frente a la playa y cerca de todas las atracciones turísticas relevantes, así como de ocio, tiendas, bares y restaurantes. El servicio y la preocupación por los huéspedes es una constante. Hotel con estupendas instalaciones, habitaciones amplias, zonas comunes bien decoradas en un ambiente muy acogedor. La piscina climatizada en el último piso permite una impresionante vista sobre la playa y el océano al ritmo del atardecer.

Right next to the beach with car park and roof top swimming pool. It’s a very good choice for tourists to spend a holiday in this area.

Hotel excelente para uma escspadinha a 2. Piscina interior e jacuzzi top

Nos alojamos aquí una noche y nos gustó mucho este hotel moderno y elegante. No hay vistas al mar para nosotros, pero nuestra habitación era tranquila, espaciosa y cómoda. Hay una fabulosa piscina infinita en la azotea con impresionantes vistas al mar. Buen desayuno y personal amable. El único inconveniente fue que la ducha de nuestra habitación estaba mal diseñada, de modo que la habitación se inundó y empapó la alfombra. Parecía que esto había sucedido mucho antes de que llegáramos, ya que la alfombra estaba manchada.

Nos alojamos aquí como parte de unas vacaciones en bicicleta y la empresa normalmente sólo utiliza hoteles de alta calidad. Aquí nuestra habitación estándar era pequeña pero sobre todo tenía un olor desagradable. (He visto críticas anteriores que se remontan a muchos años atrás quejándose de olores desagradables en las habitaciones). Nos quejamos y el hotel quería quedarse en la habitación con la esperanza de que otra habitación estándar fuera gratuita. Sólo cuando nos negamos nos trasladaron a una habitación mejor. Otras críticas de Tripadvisor sobre la extraña ducha y el WC con una pared de cristal y una cortina negra siguen siendo relevantes. El hotel es muy caro para el lugar donde está y el tamaño de las habitaciones. Lo positivo es que el desayuno buffet es muy bueno y el personal es agradable. Evitaría el hotel si fuera posible.

I wish they had the same degree of detailed thought on the service they give as they do with their somewhat kitch design, Room had grim view but then you can book a sea view , we were on a bike trip and the operator did not book that but would still have been dire. Room smelt of sewage and quilt too small didnt cover the bed when in it . Shower water didnt run away in shower as fall was wrong so had to stop shower and push water down with foot to stop in overflowing into the bathroom. Broken toilet seat and bathroom fan didnt work . Bascially one women dealing with reception and bar . We waited and waited to order a drink at reception but people checking in took too long so we went out for drinks. We asked why there wasn't any staff and two of our party got two different excuses , one was that it was first day back at school and lots of staff were off and the second was that they were all having their 15 minute health check up in the van parked outside !!!! There were additional staff in the back office but interested in serving guests. One positive was they had secure parking for our bikes with charging points . Hence 2 stars. We stayed in 10 hotels in Portugal and this was the worst by a country mile.

The Staff at Macarico Beach Hotel in Praia De Mira is wonderful and that's why I rated 4 stars. Everyone is very nice and professional, also very helpful. However the hotel needs a few things to change. The room has a glass bathroom with a sheer white curtain. No privacy to use toilet. Showering isn't a big deal but myself and boyfriend felt uncomfortable using the toilet to relief our stomach. We had to leave the room or sit on the balcony while the other was on the toilet. Also there was no shelf in the shower to put soap, shampoo or shower gel. The balcony needs a screen to prevent mosquitoes from entering the room. We wanted an ocean view with a balcony so we can hear the ocean while sleeping. But mosquitoes came in because of no screen door. The hallway needed more lights, was dark in the night. Also the breakfast was not the best. Not many options. A few pastries and the same watery eggs with mushrooms. I was not impressed with the breakfast. Also the laundry service was very expensive. I wanted 2 jeans and 4 sweaters to be washed in cold water. They charged 31 Euros. After that I had to look for a Laundromat and find time to wash clothes on my vacation. We were there for 13 days and I don't like to have dirty clothes in my luggage. One of the reasons why I chose Macarico because they offered laundry service, but I was not aware of how expensive it would be to wash a few pieces of clothing. I paid 10 Euros to wash and dry a load of clothes at the Lavandaria 5 minutes away from the hotel. The pool is small and so is the gym. I didn't have the chance to try their Spa. Overall I would not recommend Macarico Beach Hotel in Praia De Mira nor will I stay there again. Look into an Airbnb or different hotel.
