Friendly Staff and Convenient Location, but Some Drawbacks The staff here is extremely friendly and always ready to help. When we arrived, the AC wasn't working, but it was promptly fixed the next morning while we were having breakfast. The included breakfast, however, could use some improvement. It’s the same every day and offers limited options for those who don't consume animal products. On the plus side, we were allowed to bring our own food alternatives, which was appreciated. Breakfast hours are from 7:00 to 10:30, which is quite convenient. The location is great if you're traveling with kids and want easy access to the sea or the pool. There's plenty of space around the outdoor pool for children to play. However, be aware that some rooms don't have balconies, so drying wet clothes can be a bit tricky—you might need to improvise in your room. The rooms are clean, and you can request extra towels, sheets, pillows, etc., at no additional charge, though this is only available in the mornings. One downside is the lack of lounge spaces suitable for working or taking calls. The room itself isn’t really set up for this either, which could be a challenge if you want to work during your stay.

Great location next to the beach and nice view of the Atlantic Ocean. Decent rooms, amenities like a pool and gym. The only let down was the breakfast which had limited options and the staff at the restaurant were somewhat unfriendly.

Limited food availability & large group of young women rampaging the hallway making a lot of noise while reception is not available to assist. Poor (English) language support making it difficult to use facilities.

The Axis Vermar Conference & Beach Hotel in Povoa de Varzim falls short of its 4-star rating in several key areas. Positive Aspects Clean rooms: This is a positive point and suggests a basic level of hygiene is maintained. Good pool: A pleasant amenity, especially during warmer months. Excellent spa and massages: A highlight for those seeking relaxation. Negative Aspects Below 4-star standards: This is a significant issue as it suggests a discrepancy between the hotel's advertised rating and actual service. Limited ironing facilities: Only one ironing room for the entire hotel is inconvenient. No late check-out option: This can be a major drawback for guests with late flights or other plans. Repetitive breakfast: Lack of variety in the morning meal can be disappointing. Poor bar service: Long wait times, incorrect orders, and guests opting for external dining are serious issues. Unengaging entertainment: The described entertainment might not appeal to all guests. Overall Impression While the hotel has some positive aspects, the overall experience seems to be negatively impacted by several service-related issues. Guests might want to consider alternative accommodations if these factors are important to them.
