Hotel Pantai di Lembah Douro

"Octant is a beautiful hotel, and the staff are next level - while we were out for a hike, the staff held on to our daughter’s doll. When we returned they had taken pictures of the doll doing all sorts of fun activities - from a massage at the spa to helping at front desk. Truly above and beyond!"

"A much better breakfast that I expected. Appreciated the double windows that guaranteed the quiet."

"Great stay!"

"Hotel was very clean and modern, secure underground parking, friendly reception staff and breakfast was good enough for the money. Ideal for airport and breakfast started at 4am for early flights. Only gripe was that we had to ask for the air conditioning to be turned on in our room (strange that we couldn’t control it without requesting it)! But once it was on it was fine. Breakfast items weren’t replenished very quickly especially hot food as they were all small serving containers so were...

"Very friendly and helpful staff, great bar and restaurant, excellent spa, indoor and outside pool options, great access to beach and boardwalk leading to Gaia and Espinho (two smaller cities south of Porto). Rooms also have great view. Very upscale. The only downside is that it’s about a 25 minute car ride to Porto, but the neighboring cities also offer a cool beach town experience (but definitely go to Porto). We would definitely return!"

"The location was great!"

"The staff were so helpful in suggestions places to visit and activities to do. The hotel and room are well appointed and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. There were many items to choose from. We are very pleased we stay at the Holiday Inn in Gaia"
