Carvi Beach Hotel was a pretty good stay overall for what the property offers. The location is excellent, close to the beach and within walking distance of Point-of-Rocks. The rooms were clean and comfortable enough for the price point.
That said, there are some important things to know:
Strict Room Policy: Nothing is allowed to be taken to your room — not even a cup of coffee. This felt unnecessarily restrictive.
Towel Policy: The hotel has a strict 3-day rule for beach/pool towel exchange. Only on the third day can you swap for fresh towels. Even if your towel is dirty, sandy, or covered in mud, you won’t get a new one until day three. I understand the eco-conscious effort, but really — even a Motel 6 would hand you a fresh towel if you asked.
Breakfast: Mediocre at best. Powdered eggs, undercooked bacon, and a very limited selection. It did not compare well with the breakfasts we enjoyed elsewhere in Portugal, where the variety and quality were much higher.
If you go in with the right expectations — basic accommodations, good location, but limited amenities and service policies — it’s fine. But don’t expect flexibility or a quality breakfast experience.
