My wife visited Nazare 30 years ago as a child and remembered the sleepy fishing village and her Dad helping pull in the nets and watch the old ladies dry the fish on the beach. It is still beautiful, especially looking down from the magnificent high cliffs but tourism has stripped the place of all it's charm. This Hotel has also seen better days. On the plus side, it's in a very good location for the beach, the cliffs and funicular railway and the air-con was first rate, on the negative, the rooms are very very basic, the Wifi signal so bad we had to camp out at reception to connect. If you arrive by bus then stop in for a coffee at the nearest cafe and then ask them to call you a taxi. They exist, but hide out in a backstreet somewhere. It's a 2km + walk otherwise.
