Hotels Near Planthiza Cascais in Cascais

We’ve had the good fortune to stay in many great hotels around the world and this was one of our favorite experiences. From the efficient and friendly welcome from Luiza on arrival everything was exceptional. The room was large, immaculately clean and with a pleasant terrace looking out into the manicured gardens. My wife used the spa three times, all excellent experiences. We had breakfast every morning and as well as being of very high quality, the service was attentive, prompt and professional under the conscientious direction of Paulo. With so many great restaurants in Cascais, it would be easy to skip the hotel and that would be a big mistake. We ate in there twice, both excellent. Creative and skilled and also with the top notch service, we’d come to realize was the hotel’s trademark. The evening bar was pleasant, well staffed and an enjoyable end to the evening. The staff, without exception, were first class. Professional, courteous and thorough without being stuffy or obsequious. I do think there’s real credit due to the general manager. Standards start at the top. Even allowing for the fact that the Portuguese are a friendly and welcoming people, it was outstanding. Lastly, a quick mention for Vanessa, head of housekeeping. The whole facility is immaculate, room service prompt and efficient and again, a reflection of the leader’s standards. Only one thing; the WiFi is average at best; but then we didn’t go there to sit and look at our phones! The best hotels are the ones you’re sad to leave….but on the other hand, we’ll be back

I stayed on my own for 5 nights in this lovely hotel. The staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful - the best service I have received anywhere! They helped with booking taxis, finding a cashpoint, the train station etc. I had a small problem with my sink plug and that was attended to the same day. Even the cleaners who came to my room were lovely :) When I returned from a day out, I was always greeted warmly. I found the bed a bit hard for my lower back, but manageable, and the pillows were very big and comfy. The TV had a few English speaking channels for films. My room faced the sea' overlooking the pool and had a nice balcony with seating. There was also a small fridge in the room but there was a charge for using the tea & coffee making facilities and the bottled water. Breakfast is a huge buffet-style meal; it's mostly cold (fruit, pastries, yoghurt, cold meats and cheeses), though they also have bacon, sausages, mushrooms & tomatoes. If you want something not on the buffet , eg the only pre-made eggs are scrambled, it can be ordered, but the wait can be quite long. One morning it was 15mins, the next it was 20mins for a poached egg. In the evening there is a bar menu and also a full restaurant service. The hotel had only been open for a few months and was exceptionally clean and beautifully appointed. It's about a 10min walk down to the seafront - a bit longer back as it's up hill! It is next to a busy road and you can hear the road noise, but not see it as it's screened with hedges etc. The pool is quite small and unheated but nice to have somewhere to lounge outside- there is no garden. The town of Cascais has a huge municipal park with lots of trees, a cafe and plenty of different areas for sitting with a picnic. There are lots of birds there too - including free-ranging chickens! There are several sandy beaches in Cascais and plenty of museums and art galleries. Lots of places to eat with local food and some smaller shops - and of course, the beautiful black & white mosaic Portuguese pavements. It felt very safe as a solo female traveller. You can catch a train to Lisbon or Estoril very easily and cheaply. A day return ticket to Belem was 6 euros. There isn't a direct train service to Sintra, but the Tourist Information Office in Cascais has info about guided day trips - unfortunately when I was there most of Sintra was closed due to the forest fires further north and risk of them spreading. I believe there is a direct bus service.

My wife and I stayed here recently on a golf tuition break, and loved it. It’s a beautiful hotel, and feels very luxurious and new. Our room was very nice — spacious, with a huge bed and sparkling bathroom (great shower!). We were lucky enough to have a view of the golf course, principally the second hole, and I spent a lot of time watching people tee off from the balcony. We weren’t on an all-inclusive rate, but still enjoyed plenty of food choices. The lower ground floor is essentially divided into three separate spaces — there’s the Rocca restaurant, for fine dining in the evening; Five Palms for the fairly substantial buffet breakfast; and our favourite, Trent Jones, which does excellent burgers, pasta and snacks. This is where we spent a lot of our time, particularly after realising that they were showing the English Premier League games! The staff were excellent — very courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. At one point they even let us have the remote control to choose our own games! We also spent quite a bit of time basking in the sun by the lovely outdoor pool. There’s also an indoor pool, which is heated (the outdoor pool is not, although you soon get used to it after a brisk dunk). But our main goal was to try to improve our golf game, and it’s here where Quinta da Marinha truly excels: Artur, the golf pro who gave us lessons, was wonderful and has really given us a solid basis, essentially teaching us the art of the golf swing from scratch. We really enjoyed the driving range, and I even got to play a couple of rounds on the wonderful 18-hole course. The 13th hole, with an incredible view of the Atlantic, is a must see! We loved it, and can’t wait to return to either this or the Boutique Hotel, where we also stayed for a few days. I’ll write a separate review for that — we had a golf course view there too! Highly recommended!

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

Really lovely hotel.which is kept spotless and staff are all so helpful and friendly..The lifts were a pain waiting for them.and it's not very obvious where stairs are... Food was delicious and pool kept spotless...Will.definitely return to this great place.Food

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!!

A good place for travel and vacation, the surrounding environment is beautiful, you can go to the seaside. The breakfast is plentiful, the rooms are large and the facilities are complete. The front desk service is particularly good, introducing local tourist resources in detail. Need to drive.

We stayed here for 4 nights and loved every second of it. This hotel was like something out of a Bond film. Every room in the hotel is unique with its own character. We had a room with a sea view (which I highly recommend reserving). The rooms were all charming, large with comfortable beds and amazing views off the (mostly) private patios. The pool was super clean and a nice area to spend time with a drink from the bar. Breakfast every morning was bountiful with fresh pastries, fruits, eggs, juices and coffee. The views from around the restaurant and pool area are the best in Cascais. Walk out the door and you are steps away from the town and some great shops, restaurants and bars. The train stop is also steps away if you want an easy way into Lisbon. We cannot wait to return!

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.

Built originally in 1945 and extended in 1960's. Really different interior. Original blend with modern portugese architecture. Rooms really modern with everything you need. Staff cannot do enough for you. So helpful. Bar food just what you want. Restaurant food was delightful. Really really good chef. Scenery was mind blowing. You have to see the pool to believe what I an saying.
