Praia de Santa Cruz Hotels, Lisbon District

"Really impressed by the service we received yesterday. We tried to check in early as we had a local wedding to attend and needed to get changed first. Alexander, at the front desk, immediately grasped the issue and made it his job to get things sorted for us. Much appreciated!"

"Excellent choice to stay in Portugal: Beautiful location, excellent beach, rooms are in excellent condition and all have a spectacular ocean view, staff is professional, warm and helpful, the breakfast was the best "free hotel" breakfast I have ever had, and it's an easy 40 minute drive from Lisbon. Also there are many points of interest and excellent restaurants in the area. We'd stay there again. One thought, the ocean view side wall is entirely glass and the rooms on the second floor are essentially only 10 feet above people walking about... it can seem a little "less than private," at first. We got used to it and realized people really weren't lookin up (but if they did they might see more than you'd want... they could also easily hear you). Even so all in all a fabulous choice!"

"We had a very positive stay with a nice view room and the dining area was very nice. Food at breakfast was so-so."

"Excellent hospitality, Lina and the team are attentive and accommodating - they make all the difference "

"The location of the property was perfect. The view from the property room was outstanding. The room however lacked basic facilities and could have done with more furnishings for more convenience "

"Ocean front property! Clean and friendly staff !!"

"Love this hotel! We had an amazing time. The only thing I can say it needs to improve is it's beach access and extra chairs for the beach area. Overall, it's a great place to stay and enjoy Portugal. "

"As we had a van, parking is hit and miss nearby as it is all in the street. Once we found a park we left the car there for the duration of the stay."

"As others have noted, this is an undeniably beautiful place. We stayed in two suites--an ocean view suite on night one, and the master suite on night two. The rooms were both very comfortable and well-appointed. The nearby beach, easily accessible by car, is beautiful, uncrowded, and served by a great little beachfront cafe (full bar, snacks, sandwiches, etc.). All of that is great and as advertised. (There was a minor glitch with the air-conditioning, but that was apparently a hotel-wide issue that was resolved pretty quickly.) The bigger issue is the constant club music blaring through the outdoor speakers from breakfast until 10/11pm. It's very audible in the oceanside suites, including the master suite. We asked several times if the speakers could be turned off outside, as there was often no one sitting outside to begin with. But the staff told us they could not turn off the speakers. They repeatedly committed to turn the music down, but if they in fact turned the music down, it wasn't noticeable. I'm sure there are plenty of guests looking for a beautiful, clubby patio from morning until bedtime. (Although, as noted, I didn't see very many of those people outside during our stay.) But if you're looking for a serene hotel on a cliff where you can hear the ocean, this is not the place for you -- you are much more likely to hear a dance remix."
