There were some issues, but the staff worked diligently to remedy them. So, while there were aspects of the stay that were below expectations, the diligence of the hotel in addressing them goes a long way. For that, the hotel wins my kudos and turned something negative into a positive!

The service of this hotel is not up to standard. I booked the hotel for two days, for unknown reasons after one day we were asked to move to another room. Because of the lack of staff, it takes a long time to check in. When approaching the hotel in rainy weather no one comes out with an umbrella. In general, the hotel does not reach the stated level.

Exceptional rework of historic fortress. Arched ceiling and sitting couch on enclosed balcony overlooking the sea is a totally unique feature. If you want elegance and quiet solitude this is the place!

We were so lucky to be upgraded to a beautiful room with a balcony and incredible views of the pounding waves of the Guincho beaches. We arrived from the airport just too late for the dining room but the staff were so kind and welcoming and the chef made us a plate of cheese and nibbles which was perfect. Our first room downstairs was quite dark with a very small window and distant view of the sea and it was a little noisy, being directly on the main reception area, but the beds were comfortable and the service was impeccable and as mentioned we were lucky to move to a great room on the first floor. The bar restaurant has delicious food and there is a good selection of local wines and also cocktails. No pool and the beaches were too rough for swimming but you can pay a fee to use the sheltered pool in the next door hotel - the best of both worlds.

The customer service at this place is top notch! It’s very clean and the main areas that you can sit and have a drink or visit is beautiful! This place isn’t walking distance from the town but it’s a quick taxi ride. I highly recommend this place.

Unique experience worth the splurge
Unique setting and experience. Not cheap but worth it for our one night in the area. Nice sized room with lots of complimentary drinks and snacks. Our view was pretty but you had to look out over the HVAC array, which detracted a bit from the beach and mountains (probably the only con we could think of). We ate at the hotel restaurant and had a wonderful meal well worth the price. Also a nice breakfast. The cliffs and beaches are nice to walk around but not much else in the immediate area.

Loved this hotel which lived up to it’s Relais & Châteaux membership. We were given an upgrade, looking out on to the beach. Delicious dinner on the terrace and breakfast in the restaurant. Made to feel so welcome.
