Sisters Trip to Portugal

Portugal | Sep 9 - Sep 21, 2024

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. Convenient location.

We did not stay at this hotel. I was unable to remove the star.

Not close to old town, but walking distance to one beach. Very large and busy hotel. Beautiful outdoor pools and seating.

The restaurant, Clube de Fado, was beautiful and the entertainment was excellent. Table service was very good. Not my favorite meal of the trip, but adequate.

Sandra was a lot of fun and very informative. The tour was longer than described, but very enjoyable.

Joao knows exactly how to make this an incredible experience. We enjoyed every single minute of the day. The Quinta lunch and tour was authentic in every way. The river cruise was very peaceful and beautiful. The views were breathtaking. Joao kept us engaged in interesting conversation during transport.

Eva was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Josez was friendly and informative. It was a very hot day, and he did his best to find shade whenever possible. We enjoyed the restaurant that he recommended for lunch.

This day was a bit of a disappointment because we were unable to see Pena Palace and Quinta de Regaleira because the mountain was closed due to the fire hazard that the heat caused. We were given the option of seeing the National Palace and Queluz Palace instead, which we agreed to. Paulo was our driver and guide of Sintra. He was informative and good company. We were late getting to Queluz Palace, though, so we had to go back the next day with Marta.

This day was completely changed for us because of the previous day's issues. We saw Cascais the previous day, which was lovely. On this day, Marta took us to Obidos, which we really enjoyed. It was a great alternate plan. Then she took us back to Queluz Palace, which was absolutely incredible! We appreciated that Paulo spoke to Marta about making sure we could get back to Queluz on this day.

This was one of our favorite days of the trip. Rudy and Tina were very good at their jobs. We couldn't get into Benagil Cave due to congestion, but Rudy took us to an alternate cave that was beautiful. The yacht was gorgeous! The views were incredible! It was such a great break from all the walking.

Nicholas was very friendly and interesting. We loved seeing the countryside and learning about all the different things that grow there or are produced there. The lunch that was included was one of our best meals of the trip.

We enjoyed the evening, but it wasn't quite what we expected. We stopped at several times along the road to Sagres, but didn't explore Sagres as described in the tour info. The transport was the same old jeep as the day before.
