We always ask guests to comment on their holiday - below are a few entires that we have had from the last year or two. If you have a review of your own to add please email reviews@ninthbeach.com

 

The Ocean apartment was great. We brought a laptop and could connect it to the speakers in the house. Every room had one, so music in the hole house.There is a TV with DVD thats nice for the evenings. The kitchen is really all in and you can do your laundry. The badroom is very nice.  There is a huge balcon with a ocean view. At least you can check the swell size so thats good. You can park your car in the garage, the town is a 5 minute walk. We had a great time so if you are looking for a luxery apartment nearby the best waves of europa go for it:) - Rick, Holland

This truly is a special place, great laid back atmosphere, superb (and very reasonably priced too) restaurants and a wonderfully equipped apartment in a very smart and secure complex. But the best bit was going in November to surf in a shortie with no one else in the water. Well impressed overall and a definite return date being considered already. Te perfect surf holiday; the only downside, one week is never enough! - Tony, Bristol, UK

We had a great few days, thanks. The lodges were fantastic and we were made feel very welcome. Overall a great trip - Joe, Dublin, Ireland

The surf holiday was great in every way - except it was too short. The lodges and their setting are really magic - so peaceful - yet within an easy walk of the town. The surfing was great, - but I think the biggest & most memorable thing was the people at the Lodges, and the other guys at the surf school (we really couldn't say enough good things about the surf school...) - and the people in general - they are all just so friendly and good natured..... - Louis, Ireland

We had a fantastic time. The place is really beautiful and we were very impressed with the entire complex. The lodges are lovely and very comfortable, the pool was beautiful and we loved the whole place. I would recommend anyone to stay with you in Ericiera. Also must mention Tik Taks which was a great recommendation and the staff were lovely (although I blame them entirely for giving us a taste for Licor Beirao!!).Again, really want to thank you. I’m sure we will be back! Allison, Dublin

We had a brilliant time overall. The Lodges accommodation was fabulous, Surf was alright too. I would definitely recommend it! - Fiona, Robin, Aimee (Dublin)

Holidayed for a week in Ericeira; Fantastic Apartment; Great Location; If you want to get away from package holidays this is the place to go, chilled out laid back small Fishing village.  Great waves; ideal for a beginner on the Main beach beside apartment.  Gotta try the prawns at Furna's (best ever), Tic Tak and Tornado's are also worth a try - Rob, Ois, Conall, Fitz (Dublin)

Thanks again for the place in Portugal. It was an amazing surf holiday and all the gang loved it - Imran, London

We had a fab time thanks, apartment was brilliant. really comfortable, fantastic balcony, bbq came in handy, great idea having all the books and flyers too. Ericeira is a gorgeous town, very laid back and everything quite accessible. treated ourselves to dinner at Furnas on the last night. €12.50 per prawn but worth it! - Sue, Dublin

The lodges were lovely and we got good weather and surf, not too sure if we were any better at the end of the week than we were at the beginning. The town Ericeira was lovely, the restaurants and all were very reasonable. We were in the Jazz bar a few nights, they are nice people who run it. We couldn't get over the price of drink over there - Kevin & Mike, Dublin

We were in Ericeira for a week and had a brilliant time, fantastic surfing, beautiful town with great restaurants, bars, nightclubs and really nice friendly people. The ninthbeach self catering apartments are amazing, huge rooms and patio with a barbecue, bring your iPod or laptop to hook up to the soundsystem. We're going back in a few months - Bob, Tralee  

Although I only stayed for 4 days it was well worth it. Blistering Sunshine, great sunburn haha and great waves. I'll be back - Steve, Cork

Ericeira is a very chilled out surf spot with great beaches, restaurants (especially Tik Tak, you got to get the Tornado steaks), bars and of course SURF. The second you arrive you drop down a gear, very relaxing. Apartment and terrace, far exceeded expectations, and had everything you could possibly need. Sound system and BBQ are great bonuses. Very close to town, - stumbling distance, late nights and an early morning surf perfect to fix the head. Plenty of choice of surf spots. Really liked Portugal. We had a great time and will definitely be back, next time for longer than a week I hope - Shane,Aengus,Yvonne,Joyce Dublin

Firstly thanks again for the holiday it was fantastic a great time, we went body boarding 4/5 days and watched most of the world cup game's in that little cafe on the beach drinking bottle's of super boc for €1.10 how bad..! We didnt get a chance to play any golf unfortunately maybe next time. We went to Lisbon on the Sunday to watch the Munster final Tipp v Cork and went to the casino in Estoril my girlfriend won €250. I really liked Cascais a lot also - Colin, Dublin

Bru's, we had an awesome time in a real cool village, Ericeira. The apartment was much better than I expected, although us SAFFA's found it rather difficult to fit a herd of cattle onto your balcony. We will all be back (hopefully in the summer) and i'll definitely be recommending ninthbeach to my mates...only downside was having Brady talk about getting coached by Andy Irons, Tom Curren and everybody else and then not living up to it when he hit the water!!!! - Jay, South Africa,

Apartment much bigger than expected. Love the high ceilings and dodgey art pieces. Surf in Portugal was great and next time i won't forget my golf clubs - Kevin, Northern Ireland

Ericeira is a lovely place - went to Tik Tak restaurant twice , the seafood and steak is unbelievable and the service was excellent. We had a three course meal a few beers a couple of bottle's of wine and the whole lot only came to €165 for 6 that s so cheap. We went down to Lisbon when Portugal beat Holland and the whole place went mad.

Spent the rest of the week surfing in the sun - Mark, Dublin

What an awesome terrace! This apartment is the perfect "sit out and watch the sun go down" place. Ericeira is beautiful. The area is so chilled and relaxed, the beaches are gorgeous, and the food is amazing. I thoroughly recommend a visit - Emma, London


What a place! Perfect for chilling out and loads to do for the more active members of our group! Different beach every day and different restaurant every night. Its the best place for a surf holiday in Portugal (although I havent tried any others ha ha!) Couldn't ask for more. WIll be back for sure - Georgina, South Dublin

Nice Spot - awesome hide away, all the time and space in the world out there. Riberia d'Ilhas (dont ask me to pronounce!) goes off - the beach where the world champsare held, great chilled atmosphere, great surf, i'm hooked - Bri, South Africa

Back again, great time. Great to see Ericeira in the winter, waves were spectacular. Try the Beth and Boom desert in Furnas Restaurant. It rocks! - Julianne, Dublin

First time in Portugal! Really loved the place - aiming to come back in summer. So chilled out - surf great on Riberia and sea bass great in Furnas restaurant! - Fina, Dublin

Cracking apartment - central stereo a lovely feature, although I did find the balcony a bit cramped for two people - only joking!!! Ericeira is a charming, friendly people, great beaches, amazing surf and top Cuisine - especially the seafood - Chris, Newcastle

What a place, surfed non stop - and came back to a balcony that is suitable for a 5 a side football pitch! Portugal is THE place to surf- Rob, Sligo

Brill holiday! coolest apartment! Love Ericeira, defo coming back. Foz is a gorgeous beach, great surf(even for a beginner) Fav restaurant was Tik Tak, Favourtie bar was Pedro Pescadora - such a laugh, Thanks - Jean, London

An amazing experience. A beautiful clean, safe village with a lively atmosphere and friendly people. Ericeira & its surrounding area oozes with beauty & character. The swell never stops (or so it seems) and the lack of wind and the fact that it is flat coastline makes it a prime surf destination. The warm hot climate is a great bonus. The apartments close proximity to the town and to the quality beacbreak make it ideal for the visiting surfers. And the balcony lit by the sun - i'm rambling now! - this is what life is all about! - Brad, Dublin

Thanks for a great surf holiday. Foz is a brilliant beach for sunbathing and even better for surf watching (hit the carpark around 7pm!!!)! Ericeira is beautiful, great fun, and your palace of an apartment made for an ideal base for a perfect holiday! Use the BBQ - its lovely sitting on the terrace in the evening - Sile, Dublin

Had a great laugh for 2 weeks - surfing lessons were brill & loved hanging out in apartment watching dvd's! Nighlife in Lisbon was great - as was in Ericeira but Mary & Soph can tell you more about that!!! - Danielle, Wicklow, Ireland

Spent my Birthday here- best ever!!! Who said you had to be a pro surfer to chill out on the beach, ha ha! Loved the fish, wine, shopping - might consider looking at the surfers next! - Carol, Meath

Thanks a mill for the great apartment/holiday - its a great place and i'm looking forward to coming back - Joe & Jules, Dublin

Homens, Bem passado - muchas obrigado para todas - had a brill time - love the apartment - Julianne, Dublin
