Maçarico Beach Hotel

Right next to the beach with car park and roof top swimming pool. It’s a very good choice for tourists to spend a holiday in this area.

very well located hotel, in front of the beach and close to all relevant tourist attractions, as well as entertainment, shops, bars and restaurants. Service and concern for guests is a constant. Hotel with great facilities, spacious rooms, well decorated common areas in a very cozy atmosphere. Heated pool on the top floor allows a stunning view over the beach and the ocean at the rhythm of the sunset.

I wish they had the same degree of detailed thought on the service they give as they do with their somewhat kitch design, Room had grim view but then you can book a sea view , we were on a bike trip and the operator did not book that but would still have been dire. Room smelt of sewage and quilt too small didnt cover the bed when in it . Shower water didnt run away in shower as fall was wrong so had to stop shower and push water down with foot to stop in overflowing into the bathroom. Broken toilet seat and bathroom fan didnt work . Bascially one women dealing with reception and bar . We waited and waited to order a drink at reception but people checking in took too long so we went out for drinks. We asked why there wasn't any staff and two of our party got two different excuses , one was that it was first day back at school and lots of staff were off and the second was that they were all having their 15 minute health check up in the van parked outside !!!! There were additional staff in the back office but interested in serving guests. One positive was they had secure parking for our bikes with charging points . Hence 2 stars. We stayed in 10 hotels in Portugal and this was the worst by a country mile.

The Staff at Macarico Beach Hotel in Praia De Mira is wonderful and that's why I rated 4 stars. Everyone is very nice and professional, also very helpful. However the hotel needs a few things to change. The room has a glass bathroom with a sheer white curtain. No privacy to use toilet. Showering isn't a big deal but myself and boyfriend felt uncomfortable using the toilet to relief our stomach. We had to leave the room or sit on the balcony while the other was on the toilet. Also there was no shelf in the shower to put soap, shampoo or shower gel. The balcony needs a screen to prevent mosquitoes from entering the room. We wanted an ocean view with a balcony so we can hear the ocean while sleeping. But mosquitoes came in because of no screen door. The hallway needed more lights, was dark in the night. Also the breakfast was not the best. Not many options. A few pastries and the same watery eggs with mushrooms. I was not impressed with the breakfast. Also the laundry service was very expensive. I wanted 2 jeans and 4 sweaters to be washed in cold water. They charged 31 Euros. After that I had to look for a Laundromat and find time to wash clothes on my vacation. We were there for 13 days and I don't like to have dirty clothes in my luggage. One of the reasons why I chose Macarico because they offered laundry service, but I was not aware of how expensive it would be to wash a few pieces of clothing. I paid 10 Euros to wash and dry a load of clothes at the Lavandaria 5 minutes away from the hotel. The pool is small and so is the gym. I didn't have the chance to try their Spa. Overall I would not recommend Macarico Beach Hotel in Praia De Mira nor will I stay there again. Look into an Airbnb or different hotel.

This is a delightful and attractive boutique hotel. Despite having a restaurant this was not open in the evenings. Breakfast was beautifully presented and had a varied array of cooked food, cold meats and cheeses,pastries etc. The bar was a bit soulless and consequently empty most evenings. The Scam is charging €25 for a non returned card for beach towels. These are normal paper cards nothing special. Nothing short of a cheap fund raising stunt.

Well located hotel just opposite the beach. Rooms compact but clean. Small bathroom. Leaky shower. Lovely roof top pool. Coveted but good view of ocean. You must wear a swim hat. Sea too rough for swimming. Breakfast varied & plentiful.

Great location. Facing the beach, walking distance to the lake. Distribution of the room made it efficient and comfortable. Swimming pool and jacuzzi at the top of the building with a wonderful view, very clean and nicely warmed.

We stayed here one night and liked this stylish modern hotel very much. No sea view for us but our room was quiet, spacious and comfortable. There’s a fabulous infinity pool on the roof with stunning views of the sea. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Only downside was that the shower in our room was poorly designed such that the room flooded and soaked the carpet. Looked like this had happened a lot before we arrived as carpet was stained.

We stayed here as part of a cycling holiday and the company usually only uses high quality hotels. Here our standard room was small but above all has an unpleasant odour. (I’ve now seen previous reviews going back many years complaining of unpleasant smells in the rooms). We complained and the hotel wanted to stay in the room in the hope another standard room came free. Only when we refused did they move us to a better room. Other Tripadvisor reviews on the bizarre shower and toilet with a glass wall and neg curtain are still relevant The hotel is very expensive for where it is and the size of the rooms. On the plus side, the breakfast buffet is very good and the staff are pleasant. I would avoid the hotel if possible.
