We read the comments after booking but before we started our holiday. We therefore arrived in some doubt as to whether we had made a good choice. We were very agreeably surprised and felt that many of the criticisms made did not apply at the time of our visit. All the rooms and corridors were spotlessly clean: the staff friendly... more

Couple in forties, plus 13 year old daughter - we stayed a week in the Mirachoro. As has been said, this is really a super annuated three star. It's a strange issue because this is not your usual holiday resort hotel, nor is it a 'proper' hotel; and as such it falls somewhere in between. The pluses - the room... more

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here for a week, and it lived up to expectations. I went expecting a low four star hotel, but was certainly suprised and pleased! The rooms were nice and spacious, and the food was great. Beware the cleaning staff, if you fancy a lie in they will knock on the door constantly until you... more

extremely small rooms and baths, old furniture and bathroom facilities, very poor choice and quality of food, horrible coffee and juice, no children facilities, no fitness, relatively good location however not close to the beach more

I recently stayed in this hotel with my girlfriend and we were on a half board basis. When we arrived at the hotel we were both pleasantly suprised at the outside frontage of the hotel and also the grand reception area. Everything seemed quite luxurious and lived up to its 4 star billing until... we actually got into the rooms... more

I returned from Mirachoro Praia today, overall it was a brilliant holiday and good value. I don't believe, however that this hotel is 4 star, i've experienced better 3 star hotels. The pool area is lovely, plenty of space and nice shaded areas. The rooms were clean however one morning the cleaners arrived quite early it was slightly inconvenient. Also... more

We have just returned today from the Mirachora Praia Hotel having had a really good holiday. We stayed for 14 nights. The hotel is probably not a 4* hotel, don't get me wrong we had a fab time, the reception staff were very helpful, the rooms were quite spacious, the water at shower and bath time was always hot, the... more

My mother and I spent a fabulous girly week in Carviero, Mother is 73 and I am 39. Very quiet hotel, could not fault the staff, very pleasant, very helpful. The hotel was very clean, the room was cleaned daily with fresh towels, etc. There is no coffee making facilities in the rooms, but this is quite standard in Portugal... more

We stayed at the hotel in October 2007 and it was my last family holiday, and i thoroughly enjoyed it. The facilties were fantastic always well kept and not to busy, (though i cannot comment on peak times.) Similarly the rooms were well looked after and a maid came in each day supplying new towels, change beds etc We stayed... more
