Location is amazing! NW corner looking at beach and Nazare lighthouse. Only couple hundred yards to the Funicular. Many restaurants in the area. Staff was very friendly. Restaurant food was good.

I tried to eat lunch in the hotel restaurant my first day. But noisy dogs in the dining room was very annoying. One dog in particular keep yelping and barking. Dog owner didn't really care. I left hotel restaurant and went across the street to dine. The following day, I tried the hotel restaurant for lunch and was quite pleased to find no dogs. Lunch was good as was service. So I came back for a very nice dinner and enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine the waiter recommended.

It is comfortable, beautiful, and across from the beach with a beautiful view of the cliffs and the famous Faro. The restaurant downstairs is great! The room small but comfortable, very clean!

On a weekend night it is just loud outside until very late at night, so we had to close the windows, and even then it was hard to get good sleep. On arrival, parking to just unload the luggage is a problem. It is one spot, in a very tight situation, and we had to go around the block four times. They do offer parking at another property of theirs, pretty convenient, but the parking garage is very tight, and we decided we were not moving that car until we had to leave. We understand why it is that way, but would choose to park in the parking lot just outside of town had we known, or just not bring a car at all. I can't imagine what it's like during surf season!

From the beginning, it was exceptional. We arrived and immediately were offered assistance with our luggage. We had a place to stop outside the hotel for us to ferry the luggage inside. What a convenient and pleasant way to begin. Our room was spotless. The view (sideways) was much better than we expected. The breakfast, also much better than expected and much appreciated. We really cannot say anything was even slightly uncomfortable or inconvenient. Finally, each member of staff who greeted us at the reception desk could not have been more interested or helpful. If this all sounds too good to be true. All we can say is - come and see for yourselves.

This hotel is in the perfect location. From our little balcony we could see one of the main squares as well as the ocean! The beach is huge and beautiful. Our room was super clean and not large but had everything needed. We even had a kettle and tea/coffee available. The breakfast was fantastic in the beautiful restaurant which has large windows overlooking the ocean (across the road). The desk staff were super helpful and pleasant. You are in the heart of the tourist part of town so close to restaurants, shops and the funicular that takes you up to the upper part of the town. We happened to be there during Carnival so it was pretty raucous - but we enjoyed sitting on our balcony of the third floor watching the silly festivities. The accessibility to the beach was excellent and the views were incredible.

The parking garage was a bit of a walk away (10 minutes) but we were grateful to have a place to park so it was all good. It's a very safe area so no concerns with walking even at night.

What a gem by the beach! We stayed at this lovely hotel just a few steps from the ocean – literally, you can walk to the beach and even enjoy the view from the balcony. Waking up to the sea breeze? Yes, please! Only a 3-minute stroll takes you to the cable car, which brings you up to the famous viewpoint where the big waves crash – it’s a must-see! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. We arrived before check-in time (oops!), but they still let us check in early – such a nice surprise! Oh, and the local food nearby? Delicious. You won’t go hungry here, that’s for sure. We’re already planning our return. Highly recommended for a chill beach escape with a little adventure on the side!

The location cannot be beat. If you like being in the middle of the action and as close as you can get to the beach. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. We were provided with a comfortable pack and play for our little one free of charge. The breakfast was outstanding and the staff were the nicest people and so kid friendly. There are lots of restaurants right downstairs including the hotel one. Snacks and coffee are always available for guests in the lobby.

The rooms are on the smaller side and during weekend nights it does get loud even with the window closed.

Comfortable bed, great bathroom/shower Fridge, kettle for tea making Room safe for valuables Great breakfast Restaurant on ground floor Room was cleaned daily, fresh towels and housekeeping staff did an excellent job Beach towels and chairs available Communal lounge area Really near the beach and good views from room

Rooms a bit small if staying a few nights Air con in our room was sub standard Our receptionist upon arrival was not very helpful, parking map was useless really as too small (other receptionist was ok) Parking garage at sister hotel is not nearby so a bit inconvenient Soundproofing was poor in room , could hear people in other rooms clearly

Breakfast was really well done. Lots of options in the main restaurant with the beach view. The location was fantastic and our second floor beach front room balcony was with the price all on its own. Parking included was a big plus. The hotel is in the middle of everything you are looking for and a short walk to the funicular / ascensor to the upper city as well.

The room was tight, though as mentioned the view and balcony were superb. The little things like coffee and towels not being replaced were minor inconveniences and quickly resolved by the staff.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel – everything was excellent. The facilities were great, everything was very clean, and the location is just stunning, right on the beach with beautiful views of the famous lighthouse in Nazaré. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding. Honestly, there’s nothing I could really complain about. The only thing I’d wish for next time is to have a room with a full ocean view. This time, my room faced the street with a partial side view of the ocean and the lighthouse – still lovely, but I’d love the full view next time.

There is no better hotel location in all of Nazare, this is the BEST. It’s on the beach, it’s close to the tram to the top of the cliff, there’s plenty of restaurants in short walking distance, it just doesn’t better. The room… average at best. It’s a beach hotel that feels like a 3-star in the facility, and there’s nothing horribly wrong with the rooms, it’s just the little things. The bed is NOT comfortable, but most hotel beds in Portugal are not. The bathroom was needing some light maintenance, for instance, the toilet seat was broken and the soap dispenser in the shower had clearly been broken for some time with no one paying enough attention to replace it. These are the things that weren’t worth our time to worry about but certainly an annoyance room-wise. The Wi-Fi was great however! Plus, and this is the most important part for us, the staff are WONDERFUL! The hotel staff, the restaurant staff, everyone is warm and friendly and such a giant part of making Hotel Mar Bravo worth the stay. We’d stay there again just for the warmth and sincerity of the wonderful staff members.

Like I said, the rooms are just average and at least ours was in need of some light maintenance. The front entryway also looks like a storage area and at least half the time had beach chairs stacked up between the entryway and the elevators. Not horrible, just… really?
