A quiet and peaceful stsy

We stayed in a room on the side of the building. An ocean view would have been amazing, but we kept the window open all night and could hear the waves crashing.
The room is small, but clean, comfortable, quiet, and we had a great sleep!! This room met all our needs!
Very friendly service and we felt welcomed!

The thoughtfulness of the staff was wonderful! I had forgotten that the reception area closed at 6. John called at four to remind me, and when I got lost a few blocks from the hotel, he guided me effortlessly. It is an older hotel, but clean, comfortable and welcoming. I couldn’t have been more pleased with my stay!

This is an older hotel with tons of character. Small basic rooms, gorgeous view, open air windows with wonderful sea breezes. No AC needed. The staff was helpful and friendly. The restaurant had a basic breakfast included, but their lunches and dinners were outstanding. John (Joao) was fantastic as our waiter. We loved our stay at Ribamar!

Would have liked it if there was ac or fan in the room so you could close the window to drown out the constant noise of cars scooters and people talking and screaming. The hotel is in the path of people walking home from a club. Very noisy until 4 am. When it is hot you cannot close the window and there is no window coverings to block out the bright street lights. Do not stay unless you are able to sleep through all of these issues.

Love this ocean front quaint hotel. Location is perfect and close to the funicular. Great value!
My suggestion to the hotel staff would be to clearly post restaurant schedule/availability for your off-season guests (not the same as what is advertised or posted in the room door). Also communicate when the front desk will be staffed and how to reach staff when there is no one at the desk.
Great little hotel!

A truly classic hotel!

I had an emergency and had to stay overnight at Nazaré last week. I booked the most affordable and convenient hotel I found in Expedia. To my great surprise, it was right in the main street along the beach. A very classic hotel, like the ones you would see in movies of the early 20th century. The staff was super kind, the room was very well maintained and updated. Not a super modern or trendy hotel, but like a good Port this hotel has aged well and retained its classic soul (just talk to the managers for a few minutes and you will see how much they love this place and help guests). My room had a fantastic window and terrace with a view of the ocean, which I enjoyed a lot. The breakfast was great and at an unbeatable price, and even came with a great conversation with the manager who gave me lots of recommendations to enjoy the area.

Even at the rainiest of the winter, the hotel irradiates a homely warmth that I will treasure forever. I can't wait to be back, specially at summer when the yellow and white details of the hotel will perfectly complement the blue of the ocean and the striking of the Nazaré cliffs.

We stayed one night at Ribamar during our roadtrip along the coast of Portugal. For a 1 star hotel, Ribamar was fantiastic! We got a room with ocean view (the hotel is right on the beach), it was clean, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was tasty. Tatiana in the reception helped us out with the COVID-19 self-test and stored our luggage on the day of our checkout. She was super helpful!

Budget-Friendly Value by the Beach

I stayed at the Hotel Ribamar in mid January and found it to be a great value for the money. The room I was given was small, but very clean and comfortable, with a side view out the window to the beach across the street. The hotel is ideally situation around the corner from one of the central restaurant and social areas in Nazare and a short walk from the bus station and the funicular that takes tourists to the top of the cliff overlooking the town.
