Surfers Lodge Peniche

Awesome hotel, super nice rooms and very clean. Breakfast was great with a wide selection in buffet style. Location was fab and only 5 mins walk to the beach. Staff super friendly and the restaurant was amazing, the food was delicious and great menu. Fab place to stay in Baleal!

Nice hotel in surfers thema. The dinner and lunch food was very nice. Maybe price a bit high for Portugal, but more than worth it! I took my first ever surf lessons with Joao. (Reserved in advance). Clean and good materials. I would recommend this place to others looking for a nice place to stay.

We were staying at the MH Hotel Peniche and went to Surfers Lodge for dinner. A nice place nearby and good food and friendly staff. A little on the dear side but excellent food. Plenty of parking nearby. We had no booked and were seated straight away. Good service and nice surroundings and plenty of surf gear used as decoration.

Until couple of years ago the place was run to accommodate the needs of surfers. The staff was flexible and friendly. The surf school was always open with someone ready to help customers and students, boards and wetsuits tidy. Now is all about the wine and very little attention is dedicated to the clients that are at the lodge to surf. The breakfast time is incompatible with surf classes times, the surfschool is often unattended and the door closed. The wetsuits tank full with used t-shirts and wetsuits. Clients don't have easy access to the equipments and the school is unattended. The quality of the teachers is questionable. I was so in love with this place but I doubt I will return. What a pity.

C’est vrai qu’on ne s’attendait pas à un hôtel au bord de la route. Une fois cette déception passée, on a essayé de rester objectif sur le reste de l’expérience. Commençons par les bonnes choses: la nourriture du restaurant est savoureuse, bien que pas très locales, mais la carte donne envie et surtout ils servent tout au long de la journée ce qui est bien pratique et agréable. Le personnel est sympathique et efficace. Ils prêtent des vélos et des skates et organisent des cours de surf. La déco, qui se veut « Surfer-cool » est sympa mais un peu moyenne au final, bâclée et artificiellement cool. Les chambres sont petites et celles du Rez carrément sombres! Je trouve globalement que c’est trop cher mais probablement la meilleure offre à la ronde malgré tout.
