Full test review
When I arrived at Hotel Playa de Lago, I was welcomed by a friendly girl who booked me in with no delays. The bike was stored safely for the night inside the hotel which was a nice touch. In front of the hotel is a large car park that can be used for free by anybody arriving by car / motorcycle. The reception hall is simple but clean and a large stairwell brought me to the first floor where my room was located.

The room:
The room I had selected was an single room which still comes with a double bed and which is fitted with all modern comforts. The single room comes with all the same modern comforts in the room as the higher end rooms with exception of a balcony.
The room is very spacious and has a large comfortable bed providing you with a decent night sleep, a work desk, a refrigerator and a full bathroom with toiletries.
The restaurant:
The restaurant is an air-conditioned dining room with capacity for 50 guests, and then there is the outdoor patio. As it was a stunning evening, i opted for the last one and enjoyed the table with views of the stunning beach.
The menu brings you dishes prepared with 100% local produce and is based on the typical local cuisine of the region featuring seafood, meats all paired with the finest wines from the region.
The desserts are all homemade and are delicious as well.
Some specialities of the house are rice with lobster, seafood grill, grilled fish,.... I opted for the croquetas as starter and grilled fish as main course. The views are stunning, and I decided to enjoy the evening (and sunset) while sipping a few glasses of the local white wine.
In the morning, a continental buffet style breakfast is offered. The buffet has a large selection and there is nothing better than starting the day with a delicious breakfast.

The area:
Across from the hotel is one of the most stunning beaches you can imagine. With a pine forest as a backdrop, the crystal clear water invites you to go for a swim. The entire region is one of natural beauty, with its rugged coastline and unspoiled beaches. Then there are the pretty towns like Muxia, A Ponte de Porto,...
