Cascais Hostels

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.
