Palácio Estoril Hotel, Golf & Wellness Reviews

This is a historical hotel where the author of James Bond books once lived and where one of the movies was filmed. The rooms are good quality. The spa has a swimming pool, jacuzzi, massage showers, hammam, sauna. However, they refused to give me more than 1 towel per visit. The breakfast is good quality. You can order a custom-made omelette with various ingredients. The fruit choice included mango and papaya even in winter. The only unpleasant moment was that they tried to downgrade the room category for us (give a lower category room than originally booked, even though it was in low season). I have never experienced that before in my entire life. Fortunately, thanks to an efficient intervention of the trip.com customer support, we managed to get the exact room type that we originally booked, but there was a little bit of a stress, so I advise everyone to double-check directly with the hotel what room category you will be put in BEFORE you arrive.

A Grand old hotel with a great location A very disappointing breakfast

Unlike foreign five-star hotels, more like four-star domestic third-tier cities

It is a very good hotel ~ the atmosphere is very good ~ the hotel with historical heritage is fascinating ~ The room is spacious and comfortable It is a hotel worth visiting again~

Simply superb! High standard hotel with good service.

This was my countless time at the hotel, but I had to tell the reception staff. Although I don’t need or want a red carpet return. It would be nice to be remembered. So may be a new computer would help?! Nevertheless, the hotel is charming and staff are nice and helpful. The rooms are comfortable, but may be some more power sockets, for the times we live in, would be extremely helpful. The spa is amazingly relaxing and well looked after. A heated outdoor pool is very much needed and I’m sure would be welcome by other guests The bar ais nice in the evening, but the cafe attached could be lovely, but needs a complete makeover. Can’t help thinking that it’s days are unfortunately numbered - I’m sure major hotel chains are banging on the door to get their dirty hands on destroying it and making it another intercontinental or Sheraton or mandarin 😩

On the whole the staff were excellent with the exception of reception; they were lovely but had to be reminded twice of some of the details of our booking E.g. a discount on food and drinks plus a bottle of wine in the room. The breakfast is excellent as is the bar, with a great range of cocktails and a fascinating history.

Excellent. Fantastic hotel. Staff very friendly, helpful and provide great customer service. Historic hotel that gets it right on so many levels. We had an enjoyable and very comfortable stay. The best.

The property was very beautiful a good place to stay for convenience near the beach train and other places of interest . The spa was a lovely addition to our stay

An absolutely beautiful hotel. The room was fabulous. We enjoyed reading about the history of the hotel. The staff was excellent and very helpful. The only negative was our dinner at the hotel was very disappointing. On the other hand, the breakfast, the next morning was outstanding.

Very grand hotel. Rooms and bathrooms need a bit of modernisation while still keeping the regal features.

An old world grand hotel with very attentive staff. I cannot fault the hotel, except that the pool water has no heating and this should be mentioned in the info about the hotel. The highlight is the staff who try to assist all guests in every way possible.

Stunning hotel with beautiful grounds and a refreshing swimming pool, located right by the ****** Estoril and about a 10 minute walk to the beach.

The Palacio team were wonderful. Accomodation and facilities were, as always, excellent. However, since our last visit a few years ago the charges for food and drink seem to have rocketed. Also, this time, there was a lot of disturbance during the day and night from conferences and weddings etc. There were also rowdy guests at the pool that the management did little to address. Sadly, we wont be coming back because of this. Prices have gone up but the special atmosphere seems to have been lost.
