Refugio O Castro

Fantastic location with wonderful staff

Pros: Super friendly staff. Wonderful location right on top of the beach. Lovely to sleep with sound of waves crashing. Great value for money. Good breakfast

Cons: Restaurant closed but I understand it’s end of season.

Pros: Amazing view, comfortable beds, friendly staff, tasty and rich breakfast buffet, private parking.

Room with a sea view

Pros: Great communication with Mia before arriving and a lovely welcome from her when I arrived. It is well worth getting a room with a sea view as you are right on the beach. An excellent breakfast

Room with a spectacular view

Pros: Fabulous view from the second floor, we kept the door open all night to hear the sea. The staff were very helpful at reception and breakfast. A lot of the restaurants were closed as it is the end of the season. We were recommended A Ribiera a short walk away. It doesn't look like much but don't be put off, the food was excellent as was the service.

Cons: Nothing, great place to stay if you want somewhere right at the beach and not in a town.

Perfect for a stopover.

Pros: Good place for a stopover and great to wake up listening to the sea. Plenty of surfers to watch, and nice path to walk along the coast.

Lovely location for one or two nights - when travelling in the area.

Pros: Location, Location, Location - worth the extra for the sea view even though the weather during our 1 night stay was not the best. being Summer...the restaurant was open - good even if not a huge menu to choose from (understandable in this location). Overall we were very happy to stay one night here - most especially since the staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: No complaints - everything was as expected from the info on Booking.com.

Phenomenal views - great vale for money.

Pros: The view from the room was amazing - overlooking the sea with phenomenal views from everywhere. We arrived later than expected and so ended up having dinner in the restaurant in the hotel which was lovely - simple but tasty and excellent value for money. Staff were very helpful. A wonderful stay and I will be back.

Cons: Nothing - all great.

Good experience, amazing view

Pros: As shown in the photos, it's right on the beach, the location can't get better. Note: the waves are naturally loud. 😎 The jacuzzi was bigger than expected, working very well. It takes almost an hour to fill up, plan accordingly, but totally worth it. The shower is also great, water pressure was adequate. Bed was very comfortable. Very pet-friendly, nothing extra but the general acceptance of dogs everywhere was great.

Cons: What I missed is an armchair to sit and read but it's not a major issue. The breakfast was a bit of a letdown, no fresh vegetables (there was some fruit), limited option for bread (but good quality). Note for dog owners: the dog beach is a good 15-20 min walk, the corner of the last beach. It's a bit small but was not crowded in June.

What a find!

Pros: What a find! This place has to be one of the best locations you'll find anywhere. We had a balcony overlooking the sea and the view was unbelievable. The lady who welcomed us and looked after us, Maritsa, was so lovely and helpful. The room was clean and had all we needed. Everything was brilliant.

Pros: The views are breathe taking and the staff made our wedding anniversary very special. Good food and great location.

Cons: Whilst everything was very clean and tidy, it would benefit from refreshing, as often seaside properties do. Our room had nightlights we couldn't turn off.
