Cascais Boutique Hotels

Originally booked for Villa Cascais but due to a plumbing prob week before our check in, they booked us with their sister hotel Albatroz. They were very kind to find us accommodations. Some hotels, I am Sure, might not do this. We had a deluxe sea view suite. They booked us in the Palace room across the street. They did offer a room in the building right next to main hotel, which we decided the Palace might be quieter. PROS: Palace room and building were beautiful. Great A/C. Beautiful view of the beach. Had private building concierge. Fantastic deck and I think we may have been only ones in building!!! All the staff, from the front desk to the restaurant, were wonderful. Close to everything in Cascais. Breakfast was fantastic. DRAWBACKS: (dont like the word CONS). The Palace was right next to train station so could hear the announcer frequently. As well as the early morning street sweepers, etc. I am an early riser,but others may not be. It was very warm during our visit and we enjoyed people watching on the beach. But on our 2nd night, a group of people decided to have a party around midnight to 2 - 3 a.m. outside our window. Even when we closed the windows, it was loud. I am sure this does not happen all the time. I would definitely stay here again, but would not choose the Palace building because of my lists. And even with the noise, we survived since we were in Portugal!!!! I know there are other choices along the beach area, but we walked it and this place is truly the best.

Everything about this hotel was exceptional. The room was wonderful, Deluxe room with Sea view. Clean and lots of extra treats, cakes and chocolates daily and mini bar stocked with non alcoholic drinks. The staff here are exceptional, friendly providing a first class service. The Evening meal in the restaurant was gourmet food at its best and the staff were very knowledgeable about the wines. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, plenty of choice. The hotel itself was beautiful, the location great, the parking was easy. The spa facilities were truly wonderful. I would definitely recommend this hotel. They have the right balance of providing luxury whilst being family friendly.

Very good breakfast and the pool and golf course. In general, the best location of the hotel. The room was a bit small for four people and some nights it smelled a bit bad I think it was an air conditioning problem

A very special place to stay; combination luxury hotel, art gallery, historical fort. It was a special treat to drive in through the front gate of a fortress to arrive at the door to this hotel. (Although it was confusing that the signage indicated ”Pousada” rather than ”Pestana” which made us wonder if we were at the right place. Staff was excellent; room was beautiful; breakfast was delicious; amenities were perfect. All in all, I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cascais, especially if they are visiting for the first time. It's a short walk to the centre of town and the wide variety of restaurants, shops and beaches. How often does one get to stay in such a unique setting!!

It was a complete pleasure to stay st this wonderful hotel for many reasons. It’s location is simply fantastic within walking distance to everything. The rooms overlooking the beach are stunning. Rooms are spotless with excellent house keeping. Breakfast is a feast. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. The cherry on the cake is it’s great value for money. Thank you Hotel Baia I will definitely be back. Christina Gernon.

The thing about ”boutique” hotels is they often have limited rooms with little consistancy between them. Often the hotel is a former mansion or castle that has been converted to create the accomodations. The rooms featured on the website often look amazing but many of the rooms are often former butler's pantries or attic rooms the crazy aunt lived in with alll her cats so you have to be careful when booking. This place has some of that. Had we ended up in a former little closet room in the corner, we would not have been happy here. Fortunately we had booked the designer room with a balcony facing the ocean (210) which was fantastic to enjoy the ocean views. We moved the long bench from in front of the bed onto the balcony during the day to use as a sun lounger. Room was smaller but had tall ceilings and nicely remodeled. Comfy bed and nice bathroom with shower with all kinds of water options plus toilets had heated bidet hose. It is important to know that the pool area is seasonal due to the close proximity to the ocean and doesnt open until mid-April. During much of year it is closed as the North Atlantic waves thrash over the pool area filling it with dirty sea water. The hotel should state this on their homepage to avoid guests feeling a bit misled. I attached some pictures showing the pool area we had without any lounges and water looking like a sewer discharge. The weather we had was sunny and hot yet couldn't use the pool so felt frustrated. I'm a daily lap swimmer so had been hoping to use the pool in the mornings for my swims. The view of the ocean with the crashing waves against the rocks made the stay very relaxing. Also it is a nice short walk to town with wonderful views along the way. Additionally it is a beautiful walk or run to the west along the rock cliffs by the ocean. Truly magical location. The hotel itself was lovely and ecclectic with fun art throughout. Hotel staff was very nice and the included a quality breakfast buffet was tasty and plentiful. We had to leave in the middle of the night for a very early flight out. The manager had take away lunches for us which was a nice touch. We booked the hotel in part because it was part of the AMEX Platinum Hotel collection which comes with some additional benefits if you have the card. We had been to Lisbon many times but so glad we discovered Cascais this time. Certainly will be back.

I Stayed here with 4 friends for 3 nights last week and we had the best time ever .. the rooms were amazing and worked with 2 sharing one suite and 3 of us another. We had so much space and 2 bathrooms for the 3 sharing. The hotel arranged transport from the airport to the hotel and then for our return journey. We were overwhelmed with how attentive ALL the staff were. From the breakfast team (breakfast was delicious ) to the pool staff who served cocktails, delicious rosè and lunch and moved sunbeds as needed and umbrellas to the reception team who couldn’t do enough plus recommending restaurants which were all fantastic. Then there’s the spa which was such a fun experience and my friend had a massage which she said was the best massage ever (she’s a massage expert) I couldn’t recommend this hotel more and cascais is a very special place

Rita I wanted to drop a note of thanks to you 1) front of house / reception, 2) housekeeping and 3) restaurant staff We had an amazing time in Cascais and Lisbon and the hotel was a perfect base for us. You allocated a wonderful room and it was appreciated, the use of the kitchen helped a lot in preparing baby food etc and the space was great for our family. All the staff really looked after us and accommodated us well with our baby daughter. It was our first trip abroad traveling with a baby and the hotel made it so easy for us so we didn’t have to stress about other things Thank you and your staff for the perfect stay, we will definitely be coming back. We have fallen in love with Cascais and Lisbon !!!! Only suggestion would be updating the sofabeds, as the mattresses are very soft Thanks

This is a well presented hotel, although situated over 1km from anything interesting in Cascais. It is still in the middle of an area that is developing, and, therefore less attractive. The view to the sea is good, although there are a few roads between the hotel and the beach. The staff were a bit variable in how interactive or helpful they were. Breakfast was not amazing, (microwaved scrambled eggs, no fresh juice), although ample. The pool wasn’t open early enough for working visitors who needed to leave before 9. There were two events that put me off this hotel forever. At one breakfast, every little jam pot at my table had been used (yeurch) and just left there by the breakfast staff On the last day, there was no water and staff were of no use whatsoever. This is probably just an unfortunate event, but no breakfast was served and all guests were very seriously inconvenienced. For the money, I expected better.

This was my first visit to Onyria Golf Resort and It over delivered on my expectations - apart from the golf course which was in great condition on a sunny day in December (I played in short sleeves) the modern Hotel facilities were excellent with very friendly staff. I loved the fact I could jump in any of the 3 swimming pools and enjoy the spa before relaxing in my extra-large hotel room before dinner. It was my first visit but it won't be my last :)
