About our editors
An unsponsored editorial publication assessing resort hotels to a fixed standard.
Our remit
Tramvina is an independent editorial publication covering resort hotels and entertainment destinations across Spain and Portugal. We assess properties, publish scores, and explain the reasoning; we do not sell rooms, take commission on bookings, or accept payment for placement.
Every assessment follows the same six-part rubric, applied on site. Both the score and the specific weakness we found are published, without softening.
How a score is built
Six categories carry fixed weights in our scoring model. Applying the same weights everywhere is what makes one property's score meaningful against another's.
- 25% — Casino floors and lounges
- 20% — Accommodation quality
- 20% — Front-of-house service
- 15% — Restaurants and bars
- 10% — Location and access
- 10% — Rate against delivery
Independence
Independence is structural rather than declared. No property in this catalogue has paid to appear, none has been given sight of its review before publication, and none can have a criticism removed.
When we link out to a hotel or a reservation service, it is for convenience. The contract that follows is yours and the property's alone.
How we handle errors
Errors should be reported to our editorial address with the property name and the detail concerned. Confirmed corrections are published and the page's revision date is changed accordingly.
