Breakfast
However, there is consistent feedback indicating room for improvement. Some guests find the breakfast to be limited in variety, repetitive and not up to the supposed 4-star standard of the hotel. Specific criticisms include basic or industrial products, poor organization, long wait times and inadequately prepared hot food. Issues such as hard bread, undercooked items and canned mushrooms detract from the overall experience.
In summary, while many guests enjoy a hearty, varied breakfast with pleasant aspects such as fresh produce and a scenic setting, there are significant areas highlighted for enhancement to meet higher expectations and ensure a consistently satisfying breakfast experience.
Dinner
However, there are some challenges highlighted by visitors. The restaurant and bar facilities have unpredictable availability with closures for private events and restricted operating hours, beginning service only at 7:30 PM. Some reviews noted that the restaurant's heated dishes could be improved in terms of maintaining suitable temperatures. Additionally, the hotel does not offer room service and there is no restaurant service available beyond breakfast.
These nuances aside, the overall dining experience at THE ONE Grand Hotel da Póvoa - by MHMB Hospitality remains positive with a notable emphasis on enjoyable Asian cuisine that adds a unique touch to the stay.
Rooms
Many guests have had pleasing experiences with large, soundproof rooms that offer unobstructed views of the ocean or the nearby beach. The junior suites, in particular, are repeatedly praised for their spacious and beautifully decorated interiors. Comfort is accentuated by modern amenities such as coffee makers, kettles, hairdryers and well-maintained cleanliness standards.
However, some rooms fall short, described as small, outdated and in need of repair with particular complaints about the thin walls, unpleasant odors and insufficient lighting. Issues like non-functional mini-fridges, dusty conditions and problematic plumbing have also been pointed out. Rooms facing the courtyard or with small windows receive criticism for lack of view and limited natural light, making them less appealing compared to those with sea views. Additionally, some guests note that the air conditioning can be weak and that the rooms can be a bit cold in the evening.
Despite these disparities, the overall sentiment leans towards satisfaction with the comfort, cleanliness and spectacular views offered by many of the rooms at the hotel. Customers seem divided, but it's clear that the rooms with sea views and spacious interiors have left a positive mark.
Beds
However, not all reviews are positive. Some guests report issues with hard, uncomfortable mattresses and others mention that the pillows were either too hard or too high, affecting their sleep quality. There are also occasional comments about the need to replace old or damaged mattresses and improve the bed and pillow conditions.
Overall, the comfort of the beds is often commended, though consistency remains an area for improvement, particularly concerning mattress quality and pillow firmness. Despite these occasional setbacks, the hotel's beds are generally perceived as a significant factor in the overall guest comfort and satisfaction.
Cleanliness
The cleanliness of the hotel extends to the bathrooms, which are also frequently mentioned as clean, though a few reviews noted issues like mold and outdated tiles. Despite these occasional complaints, the majority of feedback appreciated the thorough cleaning practices, emphasizing that the rooms and public areas are kept tidy and pleasant.
However, not all reviews were positive. Some guests reported finding dust, pet hair and mold in various areas, indicating that the cleaning standards were not consistently upheld. Specific mentions of dirty carpets, bedding with stains and unpleasant odors from bathrooms suggest that there are areas needing improvement.
Overall, while most guests enjoyed a very clean and well-maintained stay, ensuring consistent cleanliness across all rooms and facilities could enhance the guest experience further.
Staff
However, a few reviews indicated some inconsistencies with mentions of unwelcome interactions and less favorable experiences with certain staff, emphasizing that there's some room for improvement.

Wi-Fi
Beach
The hotel's position on the beach promenade, adjacent to the casino and close to beachside restaurants and the city center, provides a convenient and engaging environment for visitors. Many appreciate the promenade for leisurely walks and enjoy the blend of cultural and leisure activities available in the vicinity.
However, while the hotel's proximity to the open sea offers stunning views and a pleasant seaside atmosphere, guests should be aware that the sea conditions may not always be suitable for swimming. Despite this, the overall sentiment remains highly favorable due to the unbeatable location and the immediate beach access, enhancing the experience of staying at this beachside retreat.
Parking
However, many guests faced difficulties with parking. The main concerns revolve around the lack of free or on-site parking, forcing them to use facilities at the nearby casino. Many found this arrangement inconvenient and noted that parking is often far from the hotel, requiring extra effort to reach. The additional cost of parking, ranging from €5 to €10 per day, was frequently mentioned as a downside. Other guests highlighted issues such as limited safe spaces and the difficulty of finding parking in the vicinity with some describing the process as challenging and uncomfortable.
Despite plans to improve parking, the current situation leaves room for improvement. Guests looking to stay at the hotel should be prepared for potential parking costs and the need to use nearby facilities and plan accordingly.

Business
Accessible
However, accessibility could be enhanced by addressing a few noted issues. Not all rooms are serviced by elevators, which may pose difficulties for guests with mobility challenges.
