Summary of reviews related to the 'Indoor Pool' categoryThe indoor pool at Porto Palácio Hotel by The Editory, while offering a range of desirable features, has generated mixed feedback from guests. The heated pool is often appreciated, especially during winter months, making it an enjoyable retreat after long walks. Families will find the children-friendly environment a bonus. Additionally, the indoor pool being centrally located and its access all on one floor improve convenience for guests.
However, some areas require attention and improvement. Reviews highlight maintenance needs with slippery pool tiles and an overall need for updates being common concerns. Access appears to be limited or restricted, sometimes requiring an extra surcharge and this has caused some dissatisfaction. It's also noted that the pool is shared with the gym, which some guests find less ideal.
Despite these issues, the pool facilities are described positively with phrases like gorgeous indoor pool, fabulous pool facilities and a lovely underground pool contributing to its charm. The large indoor pools are particularly notable, even though there have been instances of construction and closures. In summary, while the indoor pool has its drawbacks, its positive aspects make it a favorable amenity for many visitors. Show more

Summary of reviews related to the 'Indoor Pool' categoryThe Douro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa offers guests the comfort of heated indoor pools, appreciated for their spaciousness and pleasant temperature. Positioned within a spa hotel that is praised for its cleanliness and organization, the pools are augmented by the hotel's beautiful views, creating a serene setting for relaxation. However, some guests note that the indoor pools are considered small for the hotel's size, with occasional maintenance issues such as missing tiles and cleanliness concerns. Additionally, swim caps are required for use, though not always provided by the hotel. The indoor pool is located on a different floor from the sauna and hammam, necessitating a brief journey through the hotel's many corridors. Despite these minor drawbacks, the indoor pools serve as a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring Douro Valley. Show more
