Penha Longa Resort

Very beautiful resort close to Lisbon. We booked a suite with balcony and nice views of the golf course. There were 2 outdoor pools which were too cold to use, and an additional large indoor heated pool which my daughter loved. The Michelin restaurants were closed since it was low season, only the pan Asian restaurant and the Spanish/Portuguese restaurants were open. Our room was newly renovated and very comfortable.

Our room was spacious with a nice balcony and the bathroom was very large with a separate shower and bath tub. I loved the gym which was equipped with the newest TechnoGym workout stations. The property was just beautiful and we took long walks through quiet wooded areas. The spa was fantastic and the front desk immediately arranged for a free transportation anywhere on the property. A very unique and wonderful feature is that one never has to leave the property for world class dining. With two Michelin Star restaurants and several other great options for fine dining or more casual dining, this hotel truly stands out. The staff went beyond their call of duty to make our stay as pleasant as possible.

The landscapes surrounding hotel are stunning. You are in the middle of natural reserve park, with a 16th century monastery besides. Facilities are top notch, people serving you totally amazing, so much smiles, warmth and attention you get, that you start feeling like the most appreciated guest. For the Easter Holliday hotel organized for kids the bouncing castle, table and floor football, animator Lion greeting kids in the morning. The play room is full of slides and equipment for smaller ones. Gym is next level with fantastic views to the park and pool.

The Breakfast spread was absolutely amazing, there were multiple variety for all choices to fill an omelet, eggs any style, bacon, potatoes, cheeses and sweet dessert cakes and pastry treats. The captains and service staff were extremely attentive and really professional and polite. They catered to all questions and provided answers graciously.

A proper 5-star hotel, with excellent welcoming at the entrance and reception. Beautiful building, renovated and maintained, surrounded by an even more beautiful golf course and natural areas. Plenty of things to do, including for young kids.
