Top 10 Viva Sport Hotels

I loved every minute of staying in Pousada Castelo Obidos. The staff were so friendly and while they were walking us to our room offered suggestions for what to do in the small little walled city. I highly recommend walking the perimeter of the city! The hotel is decorated exactly how you would want a castle decorated. We booked our reservation with dinner included and it was delish and the service was first class. The breakfast was very generous with a lot of variety. If you can stop between Porto and Lisbon to visit Fatima, Alcobaca and Batalha, I would make this your homebase.

We enjoyed the interesting, historic decor, and our comfortable room with a large bathroom. The view from the rooftop swimming pool is exceptional. The breakfast is extensive and delicious. And we thought the price was a great bargain. Highly recommended.

Fantastic hotel from start to finish. We were a group of 6 and had two hotel rooms and one apartment. The hotel is beautiful and the staff is exceptional - so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was beautiful - plenty of variety at the buffet. You can also have made to order breakfast if you wish. The rooms are beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Can't fault this hotel or its staff! Will definitely be back!

From the condition of the villas to the quality of hospitality offered by staff, this was a huge disappointment. The villas have not been maintained, as evident from many deteriorating aspects throughout. Best example are the bathrooms, where the tiles do not lay flat, and the grout is cracked and very dirty. Ditto for the caulking around the tub. There's a skylight which does not let much light in due tot he accumulation of dirt and debris. The villas were two stories, and our downstairs level, which included the kitchen and living area, was overrun with ants. Not my favorite early morning activity to collect and dispose of hordes of ants. Also, we did not know what was decaying off the patio, which is off the sliding door from the living area, but there was a large community of flies which prevented us from using the patio or even going outside through the sliding doors. I requested that the ”resort” address these issues but, in the 5 days we were there they did not do a thing. Also, there were steep stairs leading down to the entry door, and the railing was very loose and covered with some sticky substance. Again, I asked for this to be addressed so I didn't have to worry about falling the stairs, and it was never taken care of. We had dinner at the ”club” the first night and the food was terrible. Finally, we had made reservations five months in advance for TWO villas, as we were attending a family wedding in Obidos. When we arrived, the staff told us that no, we only had a reservation for ONE villa. They were quite insistent, until we showed them the email confirmation of the reservation. Even then, they were not apologetic. They found a second villa, but it was not convenient to the first, but they said that was all they could do. We also discovered that the wedding planner had come earlier with two welcome boxes, since she knew there were two parties staying a Bom Successo, but the hotel staff told her that only one party was staying there. However, they claimed, to us, that the wedding planner only brought the one welcome box. Did they not think we would talk to her and find out they were just lying? We were promised that the hotel would provide a remediation for us (we suggested a significant discount was in order) due to the abysmal treatment and the deficient accommodations but, despite repeated inquiries, nothing was ever addressed. All in all, the worst hotel experience I have ever had.

I recommend 5 stars stay right in the centre of the castle of Obidos. All clean and clean. The service was very good, the sympathy of all staff. Delicious breakfast.
