Casa Branca Beach/Golf Hotel

The location (outside of down, next to the coast) is cool but the view from the rooms isn't that fantastic - but it's a least quiet.

Fantastic location to the beautiful beach and the hotel has a very good restaurant.

I stayed here (as the conference hotel was full) and decided that if I was going to pay 20-30EUR each day for the taxi that I should at least pick a cool location.

Porto can be reached by bus/metro very easily or by walking 5 km along an excellent waterfront walkway and nice breakfast that includes fresh fruit.

The hotel is initally a little bit of a challenge to find if you are driving in from the airport it is about 15km and takes about 20minutes.

The rooms are large, and mostly clean (some old stuff was lying under my bed which I had moved to get to the power socket for my laptop) and the carpets need to be seriously refreshed.

We pre-paid a suite but on arrival, found the views not the best and downgraded to a twin room on the other side of the corridor which had absolutely stunning views of the ocean.

I loved the personnel, attractive and had very comfortable beds.

The staff is extremely helpful and rooms are perfect.

Turquoise colors of the cosy room, very good restaurant near - A Margem and great indoor pool.

Rooms food very good, breakfast buffet clean.

The hotel dining is very good - the free american/european breakfast would meet any hungry man's needs with meats, eggs, sausages, cereals.

Additionally friendly and helpful staff, good international TV channels, tasty breakfast.

The view to the sea were the best, the bartender in the hotel bar was extremely nice and the staff were very friendly.

Also the hotel itself is quiet, ocean is so lovely and nice restaurants nearby so you really don't need a car.

Amazing ocean view from the room, very nice hotel and the service from staff was excellent.

Good value for money, friendly staff and receptionist was very helpful.

The service from staff was excellent, with room service above the level expected for this catergory of hotel.

Don't be surprised if you see the same staff working the bell stations, front desk and the dining room - its one big happy family at Casa Branca and they all chip in to help.

Hotel is excellent and the staff is extremely helpful.

He even made me his speciality drink "Sunshine" one day while I was lounging by the pool and did not know what I wanted to drink.

Er mixte mir einmal sogar seinen Spezialdrink "Sunshine", als ich am Pool lag und nicht wusste, was ich trinken sollte.

The rooms were very comfortable and clean although perhaps the soft furnishings were a little tired.

The rest of the room is clean but becoming kinda old.
