Inatel caparica is in a wonderful setting, surrounded by a park and 5 minute walk to a beautiful 30km stretch of beach (not for swimming but we loved jumping the crashing waves-surfers paradise). The hotel room is large and clean with good air con and the beds are comfortable and plenty of tv channels to choose from. The only criticism would be a little updating in the bathroom and WiFi is only available downstairs in the lounge next to reception. We were booked on a bed and breakfast basis, the restaurant, bar and terrace is in another building next to the hotel. The breakfast was always fresh and a good selection of hot and cold food. Most of the staff speak english and are very accomodating, most of the guests were portugese when we visited so we did try with our limited language. The main part of caparica is a 20 minute walk along the beach esplanade with some cafe/restaurant s along the way. Caparica has a lot of small cafe restaurant shops and supermarket. It was busy at weekend's with locals and quiet midweek in June. The beach train is worth it for the views of the sea and beach huts, it's located right at The end of caparica. The 161 bus from bus station will take you into Lisbon and the terminal is next to areeiro metro, the bus takes around 40 minutes but was very slow and busy on return journey around 6/7pm.the metro is very easy to navigate. Lisbon obviously worth a visit to belem and take a no12 tram from rossio to the castle, wonderful views! Avoid the no28 tram unless you want a long hot bumpy squashed ride through ALL of Lisbon. Lisbon was everything i hoped for ancient and beautiful. Public transport was very reasonable and caparica eating out was also reasonable. Our first visit to Portugal will not be our last.

We only stayed here for one night after doing some sightseeing in Almada. The hotel was exceptionally clean, the staff were friendly, and the price was right and included a breakfast buffet. The dining room and bar is in a separate building which is about 500 yards away from the main hotel. The hotel is within walking distance of a nice sandy beach where there is a restaurant/bar. We would certainly stay there again next time.

Stayed here in April with my wife for four days. We wanted a hotel close to the beach but out of the center of Caparica and this hotel met these needs! the Hotel rooms were clean and twice as big as expected and nice bathroom. The hotel is set within the grounds of a park and 5 minute walk from the beautiful beach which stretches off to the south for miles! The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating and even let us check into our room a few hours early as we got their very early (but this was probably only because it was quiet at the time and the room had already been prepared prior to us arriving so don't expect this would be the case during busy times!) The breakfast buffet was really good and set in a large restaurant area. Overall, great stay and great hotel would highly recommend staying here!
