    Great stay, but rooms feel small.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Room with One King or Twin Beds
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The deluxe rooms are 42 m2, that said they feel somehow very small because of the layout and size of the furniture. A breakfast is still 11 am but gets very packed on a weekend between 10-11. I would definitely recommend to extend the breakfast hours till 12 pm on weekends, otherwise the staff is not able to offer 5* breakfast like on other days. On a little minus side, there are 6 or 7 electric car chargers, but since it is a self parking and if you arrive late to the hotel, you miss the spot and have to wait till the car owners decide to leave and move their car. I would suggest EV charges are to be used only by valet staff that can change the cars that are being charged.

    Very nice pool area, great restaurants and tasty breakfast. A large property to take long walks, and an absolutely breath-taking golf course. It is a plus that the hotel has free chargers for electric cars.

    Nothing to mention

    I liked everything, from the staff welcoming us when we arrived at the hotel (with cold drinks and a special kids check-in, which my son loved a lot) to the end of our holidays. All the staff were polite and tried their best to make our stay as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Our special thanks are to Alexandra and Pankaj, who served us breakfast. They were always friendly and very attentive to all our needs/ requests. All our family enjoyed our holidays and left with a wish to get back.

    Shame so many restaurants were closed on Monday nights putting huge pressure on the Italian restaurant. Weather was poor so couldn’t judge the golf

    Staff were attentive and friendly- nice touches like fruit and ice lollies around the pool.

    I saw in comments before booking the hotel, that indoor pool is quite cold. It is around 28C, good for the intensive swimming, but extra 2degrees would make a huge difference to enjoy it more. As it is shallow, 1meter depth and kids enjoy to play there, but temperature could be improved. But we also have to think of ecological aspects.

    The landscapes surrounding hotel are stunning. You are in the middle of natural reserve park, with a 16th century monastery besides. Facilities are top notch, people serving you totally amazing, so much smiles, warmth and attention you get, that you start feeling like the most appreciated guest. For the Easter Holliday hotel organized for kids the bouncing castle, table and floor football, animator Lion greeting kids in the morning. The play room is full of slides and equipment for smaller ones. Gym is next level with fantastic views to the park and pool.

    The quality of the food at the restaurants could be better. We had high expectations since it’s a Ritz Carlton property. However the taste of the food at the tapas restaurant was way under par compared to the food we had during our one week trip to Portugal. We ate at the resort for convenience. But if we stayed longer we would rather go out to eat.

    Very beautiful resort close to Lisbon. We booked a suite with balcony and nice views of the golf course. There were 2 outdoor pools which were too cold to use, and an additional large indoor heated pool which my daughter loved. The Michelin restaurants were closed since it was low season, only the pan Asian restaurant and the Spanish/Portuguese restaurants were open. Our room was newly renovated and very comfortable.
