Quinta Da Comporta - Wellness Boutique Resort

Was nervous after seeing some of the reviews. There was no need to be. We were in the area to play the new impressive golf courses of Dunas and Torres. We found all of the staff to be friendly and helpful. At times in the restaurant there was a delay for something through lack of organisation but never too long and always a smile. Breakfast was lovely and the cooked to order eggs and bacon/mushroom/tomatoes always lovely. Are in the restaurant twice for dinner and both nights lovely. Spa is excellent. Our room was spacious and relaxing with sunbeds in the outdoor terrace. House keeping spot on and everything in your room you would expect in a hotel of this standard. Unbelievably peaceful. Very relaxing. Very pleased and happy with our visit. Had lunch at two of the beach restaurants which were both superb.

Quinta Da Comporta has a fun, bright, beauty vibe. Beautiful trellis walkways with jasmine scenting the air, an impressive organic vegetable garden. The main restaurant and spa buildings are beautiful barn-like buildings with exposed beams. Our room was 2 levels and was nicely appointed. Food was very good. The main detractor was the pool: this property is not on the beach and so the pool is the main attraction. There is a large sign indicating you can only take one towel per customer - a bit odd. You can't lie directly onto the chaise lounges because the cushions are covered in plastic, and the wind was cool, so you just kind of had to make do. Does not feel like luxury. There were only 2 servers at the pool and service was unbearably slow.

We were terrified to book with all the nasty comments. But to be truthful there was only one other place called Sublime and they had a 3 night minimum which did not work in our plans this journey. From the time we walked in the staff was welcoming. The property could easily be considered a wellness spa as its beautiful and relaxing with lots of places to walk and see their garden. The restaurant on property was truly excellent and the provided breakfast had all freshly baked breads and treats along with great fruit and eggs to made to order. One complaint here is coffee service. They make to order but cannot keep up with the flow. A cup of coffee takes 15 minutes every time. Make fresh pots and fix this broken system. My only other complaints are minor. The room was nice but the throw rug on the floor (which could be replaced for $50) wasn't a little dirty it was disgusting which did not align to the rest of the room which was a bit older, but nice. The other issue is a design flaw as some mentioned. You share a hallway in some cases (ours) and the room across from you has paper thin walls and you can hear everything going on. Despite these little things I had to give this place 4 stars as we both felt very relaxed and wish we could have stayed longer

There is no denying it is a beautiful property, the architecture is lovely, the food mostly good, but I wouldn't say it is worth the money. The good bits: the staff was friendly, the property as mentioned is lovely. The room was pretty and they provided a cot and single bed for our children. The room service was hit and miss in terms of timings, however we were often in and out with baby naps so that wasn't their fault, although we have stayed at high end properties before that paid better attention to timings. The food was mostly good, although they couldn't really get the chips right for some reason, and a couple of times the meat/fish was overcooked. The breakfast is great though. If you are planning on self catering, be aware that the kitchens in the rooms (we were in a T1 townhouse) are not well equipped. The hob was temperamental, there was no colander (how else are you meant to drain rice or pasta?), and more importantly no oven gloves, so we had to use bathroom towels to get stuff out of the oven. No kitchen towels. Washing up liquid but no hand soap. No basics like olive oil either. There is a playground which is cute, but be aware the pools are cold (we went in May). We were told upon booking that the outdoor pool was between 22-24 degrees depending on time of year and that the spa pool would be 30 degrees. It was more like 21 degrees and 23 degrees respectively. The spa pool is also only open to families for 2 hours a day. I do understand not wanting to bother other guests, however it would have been nice to know this before our stay. Reception were vaguely apologetic and said they would see if they could do anything about it but we never heard back. I put all of this in an email to them and they never got back to me when they were helpful on email before our stay, which made me thing they didn't care. A bit of a shame. All in all, I would say it's beautiful but not worth the money. If you have smaller kids, it's not the best, but for bigger children who don't mind cold water, then maybe. I would say it's better for adults though, and I can see it would be amazing for a long weekend as a couple of with friends. I don't think you get loads for your money though.

WOW!! Simply incredible. We have never been so relaxed. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with someone to look after us, to the moment we left we were well looked after. This is a luxury hotel with amazing rooms, the resort is so peaceful with gorgeous surroundings. It is a perfect place to sit or enjoy the spa and let time go by. 10/10 we loved our stay here

staff really unhappy and not welcome. i think the biggest fault came from the management of this hotel. a lot of changes necessary to be a 5* hotel.

Beautiful location, amazing with kids and great restaurants locally.

The property itself is worth it all. The rooms very spacious and well decorated . The staff from check in to check out were five star. My wife and I visit Portugal several times during the year and this resort is on the top of our list.

First time I’ve posted a review. It doesn’t feel quite right to complain publicly, but I feel very uncomfortable with how this hotel markets themselves and what they actually provide. The hotel markets itself as a wellness retreat, but there was no structured wellness program during my stay. Only one paid yoga or Pilates class per day (during breakfast), and very minimal other paid offerings like meditation or guided movement. Walking and biking were available. The hotel later admitted classes are based on guest interest, which wasn’t made clear before booking nor was it made clear that you would pay extra for classes. At a standard hotel that does not market themselves as a wellness destination, yoga is often free and included as well as access to a gym. The food at breakfast was not fresh and healthy. There were heavy cakes, Nutella, etc. We were also very surprised upon entry to our hotel room to see that paint was chipping, and it did not feel polished. I left feeling misled. This is not a true wellness destination although it is a very beautiful hotel.
