We found the hotel staff helpful and attentive. Covid rules were being carefully followed and the place was spotlessly clean. The buffet breakfast room and bar enjoy stunning views across the bay. The hotel garden has mature trees and lawn areas. The pool was clean and well maintained; plenty of sunbeds available. For families there are about 20 steps from the lower lift to the beach. The seafront is mainly pedestrian and level.
Sesimbra is a quiet village. Aside from the excellent beach it has a working fishing harbour and the local restaurants have the freshest fish.
This was a new find for us. Its about 35 minutes from Lisbon. There are some bus services from Sesimbra, but a car will be required to tour the area.
Driving to it is not straight forward, especially if you just want to drop someone off. Once inside, reception staff were there to instantly greet me. From other hotels I have stayed in before in Portugal, they just require an ID e.g. your driving licence.. I had 4 forms of ID with me but they insisted they needed my ID number!! I explained to them that British people do not have an ID number. Luckily I remembered my passport number so they accepted that. They then gave me a brief of where everything was.
The hotel itself was clean and tidy. It has an indoor heated pool, great for this time of year, and an outdoor pool. There is a bar with some fantastic views of the beach, especially from it veranda. I'd say this without a doubt is the selling point of the hotel.
Rooms are on 9 floors split into 2 complexes. Therefore you need to take a lift down to floor 5, walk along the corridor to then get into lifts for floors 1 to 5. This also takes you to the beach from where you can exit (reception is top floor where the car park is).
The room was lovely and did the job. Great view from it as well. Minus points, the TV was the size of an i-pad and there was no kettle or tea/coffee.
Bar prices were ok e.g. it was 5.50 euro for a pint of Heineken.
breakfast was a mixture of continental and cooked, but it didn't start until 8am which was a bit of an issue for me having to be at the dive centre by 8:30.
Over all I would happily stay there again at the price I paid. Location is great and views fantastic.
Staff 5 star, always very helpful. Breakfast was OK, plenty of choice and plentiful.
Always loved the pool, the fact that is a 1.7mt deep pool and 4mt in the middle is great, and because of this is very rarely that there are any kids in the pool at any time.
The bar is also great, good athomosfere and again staff very friendly and helpful.
Although this is a 4 star hotel, you only get Shower gel / shampoo, need to take all other needed things (namely body lotion, demaquiant pack, etc) , there are also no tea or coffee or kettle in the room, but there are glasses. There is a small fridge.
Overall was a great stay, I still recommend this hotel
The hotel bar is also magnificent where you can drink cocktails while listening to live piano.
Very good buffet breakfast, the only downside is the coffee... it's disgusting Nescafe, unacceptable for a hotel of this standard... incomprehensible. To get a good coffee you have to go to the bar or kiosk and pay 2 euros. In short, an excellent Hotel, extremely well located with a super pretty beach next door and near the city center, comfortable and with beautiful decor.
The room is very spacious and comfortable. On the negative side, I would like to highlight the lack of hygiene products in the bathroom, such a small bottle of shampoo is not enough for those with long hair, here they could innovate and improve. As well as placing a kettle for anyone who wants to make tea or coffee.
The breakfast is good, reasonable and diverse, very good bread, homemade cakes, fantastic view from the bar to the sea, the negative is the scrambled eggs, they looked like fake plastic eggs, very dry, tasteless, really inedible.
The indoor pool is very good, the sauna and Turkish bath are pleasant.
Experience to repeat, a very good weekend in this charming space.
And there..the pompom!!!!
A 4 star, that’s it!! A shame...it's borderline dishonest.
..
The swimming pool: a children's pool, they scream, they jump in the water and above all, horror... the snot floating... I assure you... I don't dare go swimming in the afternoon!!!
Kids running in the garden and jumping into the water with buoys and life jackets.
The bedroom: 1 small bed 1.60 wide.
The Safe...it’s PAYABLE!!!
Bottled water...only...on the first day...
The breakfast... frankly... the coffee machine... like a highway shop... no coffee maker with real coffee!!!
The buffet....average...
The noise in the corridors...but that...it's everywhere...even in 5 star hotels
The location.. magnificent..they are there 4 stars
In all sincerity...this hotel does not deserve 4 stars...it's shameful.
In Cascais, you have the Albatross which is a 5 star, it's true which is light years away!!
Staff...nothing to say.
The director...ah the director...he understands...but...
In short...the pom-pom...the swimming pool!!!!!
