Location is amazing for going to the beach. Close walk, and you can opt to lay out by the pool instead and still get views of the ocean. Breakfast buffet was included, nothing great but lots of options to satisfy yourself in the morning. Room was charming and had AC. Really cool spiral staircases when you don’t feel like waiting for the elevator. Sauna and showers by the indoor pool. Friendly and helpful staff. Extra blankets are already in the room, which I think is nice. Still close enough to walk into town, lots of restaurants and little markets 5-10 minutes away once you get out of the hotel. Great stay.

Beds were very firm.

Very good location, all rooms have ocean view and a balcony. Breakfast was pretty good, they also changed it up each day. Room is spacious. Enjoyed listening to the waves everyday. The staff at the desk and breakfast were great.

The layout is kind of weird, easy to get lost. The bed was rock hard. The tub is weirdly narrow, not great if you have mobility issues or need more space. There is no coffee or tea available in the room and you are not allowed to take one from breakfast. No kettle either. You maybe be able to pay extra or a coffee at room service though. If you want to enjoy a sunrise coffee on your balcony, you'll have to bring your own kettle and supplies!

All rooms have sea view. Breakfast was great whilst over looking the sea. Staff were helpful and friendly..Inside pool was amazing. Outside pool was too cold for us but many tourists swam in them and enjoyed it.

Absolutely nothing

Pool , sauna and Turkish bath was perfectly good. Great location and amazing view! Stuff are super helpful!

Advice for managers! Could you please change room cards key as soon as possibly please! Based on my experience I was not happy to easy access to my room because of the room card key does have magnetic and when you put your next to Credit card or Phone auto non-activated! And it’s been several time I have to go to the reception for update the room card key. This experience is not good for guests as well as for the receptionist! Please change it! Many troubled for both sides!

Great location with easy access to the waterfront and good restaurants. Excellent breakfast - possibly the best of our 6 weeks of travel. Many choices including a few hot items. Enough good choices if you would like a healthy breakfast.

The door back to the building is opened by contacting staff through intercom. Eight of us waited for too long to get back in - room keys do not work. This needs to be improved. Rooms and building are quite dated and have a bit of a moldy smell. Toilet sounded like a jet taking off. 4 pm to get into the room is quite late and resulted in a big line up and this was the off season. Mandatory bathing caps in the pool was weird. Very complicated design and difficult to find your way around especially as some of the signs are partially obscured.

We are coming back to this hotel last 20 years and it hás never disappointed us. It has unique location! All rooms have see view, hotel is in front of the beach that has different activities (football,kids park,pedal boats etc) has 3 swimming pools and indoor swimming pool is big and it really makes difference on a windy days. And plus there is a table tennis for kids near it. You can eat in a bar (kids and adults) that has the best view in Sesimbra. Its simple decor, nothing modern so if you are a fancy person you might not like it. But if you are looking to relax without a lots of husle, this would be the right choice for you.

Hotel do Mar is a charming older property that architecturally reflects the decade of the 60s during which it was built. The competent and lovely reception staff walked us to our room and helped us understand where everything was. The layout of the elevators is a bit confusing, but the gorgeous views everywhere make up for the inconvenience you may experience navigating around the interior of the hotel. The indoor pool was clean and spacious (We did not use the outdoor pool ). The amenities offered in the room were as described and expected. We found the beds comfortable, and everything in the bathroom worked well. The light outside on our little balcony didn’t work properly, but The hotel staff person came immediately to fix it. The hotel sits above the town in a fantastic location for walking along the beach and enjoying shopping, restaurants, bars, etc. in the town below. We chose not to go to the hotel and the restaurant for dinner or the bar. Staff were helpful and gave us great recommendations for where to eat and things to see, Including neighborhoods to check out (we were looking for a house to potentially buy). The included breakfast was delicious with much to choose from And enough food to take us through the day till almost dinner time. I chose the hotel because they have a good size parking lot, which is unusual in this town where there is limited parking that you have to pay for.

The Turkish bath and sauna were not going, so we had to ask for someone to come to get them functioning. While hotel staff person came quickly, it took too long for both to get up to temperature. Because we didn’t have the time to wait we didn’t use them.

The view was one of the best there is and it was highlighted throughout the whole hotel, it felt like everywhere you went you had an amazing view. Having an indoor pool, outside pool and proximity to the beach was dreamy, ensuring that no matter the weather, you can go in the water, was key for our choice and the hotel delivered fully on that.

The double bed was really small, at 140cm, I wished I had this info somewhere prior to booking.

im really pleased for my experience with you guys i really loved the hotel and the staff Mr Pedro at the reception did provide all the information and the help as well i really apreciate when someone gives you help specially for you guys you made it well done i will come back and bring you peoples with me see you again thank you big hug por todos everything was nice the swiming pool clean and beautiful view from it something i was expecting it keep it that way well done for the one who is managing outside

rooms clean and tidy

The location is perfect infront of the beach. We were on a diving vacation so the dive centres are very near. The hotel is well equipped with pools , sauna and gym. The elevator takes you directly to the beach front so you don’t have to walk around from the downtown. The breakfast is good with reasonable options. The view from balcony is majestic.

Nothing much except for the fact that the charging points are not available on the bedsides.
