Resorte Marinha Dourada

The Marinha Dourada is beautifully situated on the edge of two small lakes with direct views of the nearby salt marshes and paddy fields. Baga Beach can be reached easily by the hotel's free shuttle bus which runs hourly from 9am to 6pm. The hotel has a restaurant overlooking one of the two swimming pools, the children's pool and sunbathing area, and features live music at least four times a week.

Pedal and rowing boats are available during high season for hire on the lake, and a small gym., jacuzzi, steam room, beauty parlour, Ayurvedic massage, gift / provisions shop and are available, payable locally. The second swimming pool also has its own sunbathing area with a superb view of the lake. On a previous visit to the Marinha Dourada we met Don Bacon, an ornithologist from Doncaster, who told us that there were 90 species of birds within a mile of the hotel. If you're a keen birdwatcher, this hotel will be ideal for you.

The Jewel in the Crown room allocation is in any of the five blocks that make up this spacious hotel. The twin and double-bedded rooms are comfortable and have a small seating area, air-conditioning (included), ceiling fans, T.V. with some satellite channels, telephone, mini-bar, en-suite shower & WC, and a balcony or terrace. Rooms are offered on a Bed & Continental Breakfast basis; Christmas and New Year festive meals are included. Safety deposit boxes are available in reception, payable locally. Honeymooners receive flowers and wine on arrival. A quality hotel with extensive grounds that are laid to lawn and beautifully kept. Highly recommended.
