Top hotels in Parada
Porto Palácio Hotel by The Editory
Great hotel, great value. Only thing letting it down is the breakfast (not good value) and the “spa” facilities, the pool and jacuzzi were very dated. Other than that the people were all really nice and helpful, the room was great size and comfy bed.

Great location and a very innovative concept. The staff was very helpful in explaining the ammenities and in suggesting the main local spots in the area. The convenience of being able to securely store your bags untill check-in time gave us the flexibility needed to explore the city worry free.

Hotel located across the river from Porto making it a little less busy. Parking was great with valet included. Full breakfast buffet was very good. Concierge was helpful to plan port tasting options nearby The room was very spacious yet weird design choices. They promote environmental stewardship ...
