Playa de Camarinas

Outstanding! We stayed two nights while hiking the Camino dos Faros. The rooms were very nice, the staff was wonderfully friendly and welcoming. The location was good, too. But the restaurant, overlooking the water, was amazing. Our second night we thought we'd eat in town, but the restaurants we wanted to try were closed. We went back to the hotel for dinner, and I had the finest meal I've had in years. Absolutely try the warm salad! The sardini rolti was great, and the entrecot of beef was top quality and perfectly cooked. Our server was fun; she gave us food and a Spanish lesson, and we laughed about our efforts to speak each other's language. The staff was kind and thoughtful, helpful in every way. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from downtown along the beach promenade, and they can arrange water sports and other activities for you. If it matters to you, they understand gluten-free and have GF bread.

Are you looking for a place where you can spend a full day? This is it! Make sure you pack your beach bag too! We made a reservation for a 2pm lunch with friends (4 small children included), food was served promptly and was delicious. If you sit out on the terrace, when kids are done eating send them down to the playground ALONE and you can watch them while you remain seated finishing your meal as they play on the playground feet away from you. Playground is located directly on the beach below and within perfect distance of the water so that you do not even need to worry about them reaching the water until the ENTIRE FAMILY is then ready to join them down at the beach. Make sure you pack your beach stuff, we ended up with an impromptu beach day since we did not realize how nice this setup was, luckily we had bathings suits for the kids. Rented some paddle boards at a great price, the water is shallow and calm and crystal clear (it is ocean water but in an alcove so you don't need to worry about waves/strong currents). Spend a full relaxing beach day here you won't regret it. SHOCKED they have not applied to convert this into a blue flag beach...undiscovered paradise!

A friendly and efficient family run hotel situated just metres from the beach. Conveniently situated on the Camino dos Faros and the Costa da Morte. Spacious, south facing bedrooms with balconies and wide-ranging and far reaching views of the bay. The restaurant takes advantage of traditional Galician food and you are likely to have a choice of the catch of the day line caught in the bay. Most delicious bass I've ever tasted. Loved it here!

Staff helpful and friendly
