Costa do SAL Hotel Boat Lounge

We had a fantastic 2 days stay on the boat...and were very fortunate to do so on our own, in light of the circumstances with travel etc. Literally just the two of us! Everything from the moment we arrived was great - Rui (Manager) was very hospitable, as well as all the staff who were really attentive. Every morning the Chef came out for a chat and was really polite and full of conversation. A fabulous few days on 'our own' boat - would highly recommend! Many thanks!!

I had to join TripAdvisor just to write about our dinner experience on costa Do Sal !! Stopping from Porto to Lisbon was all last-minute and spontaneous finding towns to go to etc. and as I’m googling, this boat pops up and I look at the pictures sort of compared with the humble quaint beach town where it stays on the docks and I couldn’t believe my eyes?! it seemed so out of place. I wish we had stayed there, but there was no family rooms to fit two adults and a child as the rooms are standard boat rooms - however we did show up for a dinner and it was honestly the most magical dinner experience I’ve ever had on a vacation and I’m in my 40s and extremely well traveled !!! The boat has been recently refurbished and is absolutely gorgeous, the staff were incredible -but most of all was the sushi we had for dinner. I have spent time in Tokyo, lived in Hong Kong, London for many years and now New York for a decade - and it was right up there with the best sushi I’ve ever had !! (Just to top it all off it was at Portugal prices). If you can separate with your kids and get two different rooms next-door to each other I would say it is family friendly for older kids -but definitely for solo travelers or couples this is not to be missed!! it is completely worth your stop over for the night on the way to Lisbon or on the way to Porto- you will not be disappointed!!!

Eh bien, je vais m'inscrire en faux contre les avis mi-chèvre mi-chou que circulent sur cet établissement ! C'est très fun et original. La taille de chambres (des cabine, en fait) est minimale et la douche l'est encore plus, mais ce n'est pas tous les jours qu'on peut loger, pour un prix très raisonnable, dans la cabine d'un bateau dont le décor intérieur (boiseries notamment) est remarquable. Une mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner, où le buffet est parfait (les œufs au bacon notamment), avec malheureusement une serveuse ronchonne et autoritaire - Ce n'est pas sans aucun défaut donc, mais le rapport qualité/prix qui reste absolument exceptionnel. J'y retournerai. Ce n'est pas le confort d'un grand hôtel, mais si vous aimez les chose belles et originales, sans que la taille de la chambre vous soucie, faites-vous plaisir !!!

Wir wohnten sehr günstig in einer Kabine im unteren Stock. Das war gemütlich und etwas Besonderes, allerdings auch sehr beengt. Das Gluckern der Wellen gegen die Bordwand ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Auch sonst ziemlich hellhörig. Die Bar auf Deck ist cool.

Sem dúvida um alojamento bem localizado e de fácil acessibilidade. Os quartos (no piso de baixo ) são pequenos mas confrontáveis, o facto de estarem junto ao nível da Ria dá uma sensação de descanso á noite (No entanto há um quarto junto da Proa ) perto de uma máquina é de evitarem. Felizmente a nós foi possível a troca. E por sinal melhor. Jantamos e foi uma refeição razoável. Recomendo sem dúvida o Piso superior com o bar que convida a apreciar a paisagem. Sem dúvida a voltar um dia

Las habitaciones son agobiantes, aunque sean tipo camarote, nos dieron una habitación con la ventana obstruida por un muro, ni gota de luz natural, ninguna ventilación y el baño claustrofóbico. El personal nada empatico y a las 11 de la noche ya no hay servicio de bar. No volvería y por supuesto no lo recomiendo. Aveiro pueblo precioso y con mucha marcha, gracias a eso lo pasamos muy bien y las playas de Costa Nova y Barra espectaculares.
