Travanca do Mondego Hotels with Gym

Our room was lovely - comfortable, large and clean with beautiful views of the river and surrounding area. The staff were very pleasant. The spa area was great, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. We ate in the restaurant 1st night. Our server was very pleasant and helpful. However, the kitchen was having a bad night! The 2 soups (Vegetable & Garlic) were delicious. However, the octopus salad disappointing (didn't much like the pumpkin in it and very little octopus!). Then our main course of Monkfish and prawn was served with the Monkfish raw! It was sent back and by the time it returned the accompanying dish - Seafood rice was cold!! It was very tasty when hot. We saw another couple also send their's back. We ate elsewhere the following night. The buffet breakfast was very good even though the choices were limited. We would probably stay there again as the location is lovely, very comfortable room and great staff. Would we eat dinner there again? Maybe - Give the kitchen another chance as we have heard it's generally very good.
