There was lots of space in our senior suite ... a very nice balcony. The rooms are old looking and could use an update. Good location to the beach (Praia do Vau) and it was a nice beach. There was a kitchen but not dish cloth and no soap. Was good value for was we paid.

The room was large and with lots of facilities, with a nice balcony overlooking the sea, small kitchen and fridge. The staff were helpful and friendly and could all speak English. It was only a 5 minute walk from the beach. The only thing that let it down was by the neighbourhood: a public recycling facility across the road was noisy with loads of litter, and a neighboring residential block had a dog barking at all hours. The bed mattress could have been a little less lumpy. The breakfast buffet was amazing and dinner very tasty, loads of choice. The outdoor pool was fantastic. Overall, we'd stay there again and would recommend to others.

A wonderful location for a relaxing holiday

We spent five amazing days at the Interpass Vau Hotel. We couldn’t believe the standard of accommodation and facilities for the price we paid. The Junior Suite with balcony overlooking the sea was perfect for this length of stay. The breakfast offered lots of choice and the staff were always courteous and helpful. The location, only ten minutes’ walk from Vau beach and about hall an hour from Praia da Rocha, was just right. The one negative was that the bed was a bit too firm for me but the housekeeping staff did their best to address this and I ended up putting pillows on top of the mattress, which made it comfy enough. All in all, we had a great stay at this hotel and hope to return in the future.

Not worth your money, not even 3 stars

We decided to eat at the restaurant only to find out that there was only a buffet at 20€ each, no choices (potatoes and rice) nothing was fresh (you could see the eggs turning grey) … I could have eaten better at a fast food. The hotel is not even close to a 3 star : walls insulation non existent (I heard a couple fighting and babies crying) pillows were so old that the feathers turned into crusty bit inside. The hotel has been built in the 80s and hasn’t been refurbished since then. The indoor pool needs ppl to wear a cap charged at 4€ each. The breakfast is a buffet too but you can’t ask for fried eggs on a scramble day eggs and vice versa - never seen this!

The stay was fine. It was walking distance from the beach area. The staff were very helpful. I was a little disappointed in the room, in that it had worn out couch and chair, the kitchen refrigerator smelled like fish and was broken, the shower was out of date. The breakfast was very good and the pool was very enjoyable. All in all, with furnishing updates I would stay there again.

Very noisy at night. Pillows were thin and uncomfortable. Supposed non smoking apt. had an ashtray sitting on the coffee table. Bed was as hard as concrete. Smelled smokey causing my allergies to go wild. We stayed the first night only. Luckily we were able to book another spot we enjoyed last May. First time we had to forfeit after only one night.

Indimenticabile!

Il personale è gentile e cortese. La colazione è buona e molto completa con dolce e salato. L’unico punto negativo è il condizionatore che non riesce a mantenere la camera fresca e finché c’è vento si aprono le finestre ed è sopportabile, il problema è quando non c’è vento.
