Stayed at Penha Longa recently and found, in the all, a very pleasurable experience. We were there for four days in total at a conference. The conference facilities were excellent. We didn't play golf nor walk into Sintra. We did find, however, the hotel to be far away from anywhere which some may like, some may not. For my part,... More

I accompanied my husband to Penha Longa for a conference in October 2011. Accustomed to the quality and service level of other Ritz properties this one felt somehow lacking. The golf course was fine. I wouldn't say the conditioning was stellar by any stretch but it was an enjoyable day out on the course as a solo player. The constant... More

I spent 6 days during Christmas (2011) at this outstanding resort property. The hotel was 1st class with 3 outstanding restaurants and the golf course was world class, very difficult with panoramic views of the Atlantic and the former Formula One track at Estoril. The hotel and resort employees were all very friendly and knowledgeable. And the spa is also... More

We stayed for a week as a family in July 2011 - older children and little ones too. We had a lovely time - it was just very, very windy - they said it was more windy than usual - almost gale-like some days. Our babies did get ill from (we believe) using the indoor pool - think this is... More

It is not easy to arrive, even if you are diving your own car, but this is the perfect place to recharge batteries. We simple love this hotel and it is our favorite place to relax and forget the busy life outside. For a short or a longer stay, simply like to come over, sometimes just for staying in the... More

We loved our stay at this spectacular Ritz Carlton property in the hills above Lisbon. Every single staff member was polite, attentive and respectfully friendly. My Portuguese is severely lacking, but everyone at the resort speaks English beautifully and was willing to teach me a few new words. The buildings are absolutely stunning and the quality of the amenities is... More

Wow, what an excellent five star hotel, from the moment we arrived, we checked in and was upgraded to a suite which was awesome, was not expecting that at all. The hotel staff cannot do enough for you. We enjoyed all the food in all the resturants. No childrens pool but I would not expect many children to go there... More

My wife and I stayed at Penha Longa for four days over Christmas, and yes, this is a superlative establishment with beautiful architecture and landscaping and all the amenities you expect from a 5-star hotel bearing the famous Ritz-Carlton brand. But in fact it is people you remember when you go away. People like Candela, a charming young girl whose... More

This is the third review I write for this hotel, after having stayed there a dozen of times over several years. In my first stay, around 6 years ago, everything was nice and up to a 5 stars standard. After then, I witnessed a regular decline, which is a pity considering the potential of this place. My last stay (and... More
