Stayed here at Portugal Cove last week. The reception was warm, the room was great and the view was fantastic. I recommend prearranging the breakfast tray, it is generous and good value. If you are on a budget, skip the Atlantis restaurant and walk up the road to Beachy Cove Cafe, their food is "down home", delicious and reasonable

Me and my boyfriend stayed here and had a great time! It was my first time there, but I would definitely go again! It is a very new property, and the rooms are extremely clean. We stayed in the Dokovie Suite, which was really cozy. There was full kitchen facilities, a queen size bed, a double jacuzzi that faced the ocean, and a little seating area that was perfect for sitting in to have a glass of wine and watch the ferry go back and forth. The staff were very friendly; we asked the girl at the desk to take a picture of myself and my boyfriend and she brought us into the restaurant area and waited for the ferry to line up and everything to have a nice backdrop. When we went to cook supper, we realized that there was no pot in our room (yet there were frying pans, etc) and they brought one right over. Overall, we had a wonderful time and for the price would highly recommend the Beach House!

We stayed for a week in June, 2007 and loved every minute. The views were spectacular and hated to leave. We had the Harlequin Suite with a wrap around balcony deck. Even the view from the bed was to die for. We saw icebergs, whales, ferries and many birds - - all without leaving our room.

Don't know about the previous poor ratings listed on Trip Advisor but most of those stays were in winter. Maybe they are staffed up more for the summer.

Service was very friendly and excellent . We got great suggestions on drives to take and directions were terrific. Staff assisted us with boat tour suggestions and whale watching possibilities. We found the drive to St.John longer than 10 minutes (about 15-20) but the scenery was superb.

Would recommend one of the suites in the building next to the main office over the suites under main office. We have recommended the Beach House to others and they were thrilled.

A stay in Beach House at Portugal Cove is a must over any hotel in town. LF and PF Long Beach, CA

Quiet, unique and luxurious. Stayed in the Osprey suite. Amazing view out across the bay to Bell island. Watched the sunset each night from the double jacuzzi bath. The staff are polite, friendly and unintrusive.
