Nice place. Noisy doors
The beach house is in a great location and the pool is lovely. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The outside door is incredibly noisy though and woke us up with the first guests leaving every morning . Also the key stoped working at least once a day so lots of trips up to reception which got annoying. It’s a shame because otherwise it was a lovely place to stay. The pillows could use an upgrade.

Had a lovely stay and would go back again. Pool very warm.
One minor issue was that on the day that we were checking out the keys to both our rooms stopped working after we had gone down for breakfast. This was an hour and a half before checkout, and we were fully paid in advance of our stay. Unfortunately to reactivate you have to go to reception in a different building. I had to go for each room and one reset didn’t work so I went 3 times in 15 mins which was annoying. The guy on reception just said it was because we were due to check out that day but it seemed an odd practice.
Breakfast also in the other building/hotel and was functional. After 6 nights was a bit monotonous.

I had a great room with a beautiful view. The staff was friendly and quickly replaced my room’s refrigerator that wasn’t working. Excellent location with a short walk to the beach and easy access to the trails in the area. The pool was warm and very nice.

You can hear everything from inside your room, every body entering the hall and people going to their room very noisy. Loose entrance door was clapping all night. Very bad night of sleep even with ear plugs. Other than that the place was very clean and the beds were comfortable.

Great view of the ocean from our room on the 2nd floor of the Beach House. It had a huge balcony which was nice.
Shower and bathroom were great. The complimentary breakfast was decent. Our only complaint was the main door to the beach house had a spring that made the door slam which would reverberate through the building. Switch that mechanism for a soft close one and you’ve got a winner.

The property was clean but very noisy. The front door kept banging due to a faulty hinge making it noisy every time anyone going in and out of it. It made it impossible for us to sleep past 6am.

Goregous hotel for Sagres Adventure
What a gorgeous hotel! We had an amazing time even if the weather was less than amazing. The facilities were great, especially the infinity pool! We would definitely stay again if we are ever in Sagres again.

Wonderful stay in Sagres.
We loved Sagres and Mareta Beach Boutique Guest House. The room had a beautiful view, the pool was clean and lovely. Even their little pizza restaurant was delicious. We could not have been happier.

Truly wonderful place to stay!
The room was spacious, well furnished and very comfortable. The balcony overlooking the pool was a plus we didn’t expect, and we were able to enjoy the comfortable weather as well as the sights from that perspective. The breakfast was also quite good. I recommend this place highly. (The older gentleman working at the desk one morning — perhaps the owner? — was the only person we encountered in the whole town who was not pleasant.)

Mediocre motel with awful cold breakfast
This is one of the three Mareta Properties, the most expensive one. In reality they are all next to each other and served by same office and same meager breakfast. The property bills itself as boutique bed and breakfast - but it MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT. It’s just a regular hotel. Parking not available, you seek your own. Breakfast was truly awful - in the basement, without anything hot and just several plates of old meat cuts and equally old tomatoes and stale bread. The property has two restaurants serving breakfast on premises but for some bizarre reason - this is not where you eat breakfast. When asked for additional bread selection as breakfast, it took a manager involvement after a multiple “no more” reply by rude staff.

Very disappointed
On arriving the man at reception was not welcoming
, I was kept waiting a longtime while he made a phone call. I had asked him if someone would help me with my bags as the room they had allocated me was not in the main building and there was no lift to the first floor. He eventually took my case & on pushing the door open with his foot he let it close in my face.
My first night was a disaster, I awoke at 4.00 am with a sore throat, headache & feeling nauseous. The bathroom was smelling dreadful of sewage/drains. I had to put the air conditioning on to try and circulate some air. I didn’t go to the reception at that time because I didn’t want to walk outside to get to the main building at that time of the morning.
The following morning I complained and asked to be moved for my additional two nights. A charming receptionist was very helpful & I was given another room later that day. I asked her to tell the manager/owner that I wouldn’t expect to be charged the full rate for a room in that dreadful condition.
On checking out I asked if My card had been credited. The receptionist said she had told Flavia Graca the Owner/manager about my request but was told I had stayed in the room the first night and it had been pre-paid so there would be no refund of any amount. I have stayed in this hotel many times over the last 6 years, sadly they now seem concerned about making money and not giving a service to their clients. I wont be recommended them to friends anymore.

Mareta is nicer than the photos show. We were pleasantly surprised. Very cosy, charming ambience; comfortable large beds. Right off the Mareta beach and close to nice restaurants. Very nice and helpful staff. Rent bicycles from the inn to explore the area, the best way to see the area. I wish we had stayed in Sagres longer, the travel books didn't do the area or town justice.
