This place is truly impressive. It’s worth changing your travel plans just to be able to stay here. The 16-century convent is rich in character and colour, filled with authentic artefacts, yet so comfortable! Our room was a wonderful combination of vintage furniture and modern-day comfort. Very quiet. The bathroom was pristine, with new, modern fixtures. The lobby, common areas and cloister are beautiful. The friendly staff welcome you with a glass of port wine and cookies. Location is perfect too. Great value for money. We absolutely loved it!

Gorgeous location, spotless apartment efficiently organized, quiet, secure building. Right on the waterfront malecón, which is lovely, with many people and their furry friends out strolling. Host was awesome, so welcoming and easy to communicate with.

Nice old world type of resort very Spanish and authentic Spanish fishing village / small town with a nice harbour and old town area. On the Camino trail so lots of walking routes plus Mt Tecla to view the area from the top.

An unexpectedly attractive town with beautiful harbour and nearby mountain. Lanes often steep and narrow so car driving tricky but possible. Plenty of restaurants and a bakery offering very good breakfasts. A walk up to the castle above the town was enjoyable.

A little disappointed by the recommended Porto Guardes café...
A little disappointed by the recommended Porto Guardes café on the harbour because they didn't serve food till 7.15 pm & the salad was mainly out of a jar, i.e. white asparagus, sweet red peppers, an onion garnish on the boiled potatoes. Would have been better to have a fresh salad. However, the pimientos Padron & the Galician octopus were excellent.
The two mile walk from my hostel to the harbour was wonderful & quiet.
My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights while walking a comino through A Guarda. Every element of our stay from check in to leaving was a pleasant experience. The Bookings pictures don't capture the tidiness of the apartment or the fantastic view of the harbour and waterside town. Very quiet at night, no problem sleeping with windows open, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen for 2 people. Great value if spending more than 1 night. Being non- Spanish speakers, sincere thanks to the lady that checked us in and out - she was very patient.
My stay at the apartment couldn’t have been more pleasant. The photos don’t do this magical place justice. There is a lot of space and everything was in perfect condition. The owners were generous and helpful throughout and we are already planning on staying there again!
Some advice if you are looking to stay there, the address doesn't work properly on Google maps and Uber doesn't function in the area so go to the Taxi stop outside Froiz supermarket in A Guarda and ask a taxi driver to take you to the address.
Location was incredible - totally worth the 30 minute walk from the port to get there!
Rooms are not super upgraded but that adds to the charm.
Hotel staff was amazing and so super helpful! 5 stars for the over the top effort of both of the people working the front desk during my stay.
The whole place is reminiscent of family resorts from the 50s with a luxury dining area, lovely patio restaurant, and nice rooms with comfy beds, all right on the beach.
Very comfortable mattresses and pillows - with proper duvets too! The hotel is very unique as it is an old convent converted. Staff are friendly and helpful. The shower is amazing. Breakfast was free and locally sourced, and it is lovely to eat it in the courtyard. Location is perfect: right on the harbour and near a string of restaurants. TV in the room, along with towels and toiletries.
The view from the hotel and surrounds is stunning! We could see the coast of Portugal from where we had walked on the Camino Portuguese Coastal route. The room was spacious and clean and the area was quiet. Staff were helpful, especially when getting a taxi to go down the mountain. Overall this hotel is great value for money.
+ Great value hotel + clean rooms + good size room + excellent working shower + modern design + excellent quality sleep + breakfast was great for this type hotel.
- Staff could be more friendly.
In general, the stay was perfect and simply had a fantastic rest over the one night stay.
Hotel Eli-Mar is located in a central location, close to restaurants, shops, grocery stores and the bay. There is a lovely long boardwalk along the bay, close by. The staff are very helpful and the breakfast was excellent in the next door bar. our room was clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was great. Served a bit of cake that was homemade, and drank cafe at the bar of the hotel. Everyone working there was super friendly. Love the location by the square, close to everything. Bathroom and beds were clean and comfortable.
What a perfect place to spend a few days. Super little apartment fully equipped
Great garden with sun all day
Parking right at the door
And a great place to get around La Guarda
A really good spot for walking and cycling
The staff was very nice and helpful. Clean. For a simple, basic hotel though, it was very overpriced. It was one of the very few available in town at that time.
