Tempus Hotel & Spa

A disaster. We chose Tempus because we wanted a place with a spa/indoor pool. As soon as we arrived we were confronted with the fact that we had to pay to use towels and bathrobes at the SPA (which means that the stay does not include access to the SPA for free)… and you only can use it for an hour! When we arrived at the SPA pool, it was under maintenance and the water was freezing. We paid for it (towels and bathrobes), but no one warned us it would be like that. The hotel is clearly in need of major repairs. Stained carpets, bathroom doors that don't close, sheets with holes...

Needs some small renovations Carpet was a bit old and dirt and really brought down the quality of the place. Everything else was fine but the carpet gave a yucky feeling so I wouldn’t come back until they have proper flooring. The breakfast had a good selection but I wish they didn’t have the weird rule of not allowing to have breakfast in the outside area which is just next to the breakfast area. Apartment lot it was the “boss’s rules”. Are we children and not allowed outside with the pretty view? The swimming pool and spa was good and not very busy.

An excellent hotel A supreme stay. Huge rooms. Space at the pool. Delicious food. Great service. And an affordable price.

I stayed at Tempus Hotel for 3 nights. Things I liked the most about my stay are the following: 1. The location and the views (even though it’s quite far from Gerês national park) 2. Very fast and smooth check in 3. The balcony and the view 4. The patio (by the restaurant) 5. The dinner at the restaurant The room was decent & spacious, a bit worn out, but overall comfortable. The pool isn’t big, and it produced some noises in the filtering section. There are a few things that could be improved: 1. The breakfast was very limited, and it was not replenished unless requested. I would not recommend adding breakfast to the stay. 2. We picked this hotel hoping to enjoy some spa treatments. We even mentioned that prior to booking. Once we arrived we booked 2 massages, and only some time later they told us the masseuse was on holidays. It was very disappointing. 3. Overall service at the hotel isn’t really smooth. It felt that the hotel is in need of proper management. 4. The sauna could not get hot enough due to poor insulation. For my next visits, I would consider other places to stay.
