While some found the restaurant good yet in need of minor improvements, others felt it fell short of expectations.
Contrasts in guest feedback suggest that while many enjoyed exceptional meals with attentive service, improvements could be made to menu diversity and addressing specific complaints.
Rooms
However, some visitors find that the rooms, although generous in size, often require modernization. Issues mentioned include outdated facilities, old bathrooms and insufficient electrical sockets. The furniture and decoration can seem a bit dated and some guests notice a musty smell in certain rooms. There are also reports of smaller rooms with thin walls, leading to less privacy and quiet and some complaints about uncomfortable beds.
Despite these drawbacks, the spaciousness, cleanliness and overall comfort of the rooms receive commendation, making Parador de Cambados a beautiful, albeit slightly dated, spot to stay.
