“Hotel Suave Mar certainly sits pretty near Esposende's beaches, and its family focus is clear. I'd say the dining options are a real asset, with those on-site restaurants and bars. However, some reports mention the breakfast experience needs a serious refresh, to meet the expectations set by the location and building.”
