The view from the rooms facing the Atlantic ocean but also from the restaurant and bar are unique. The former fortress has been built on the cliffs next to an amazing beach which is a paradise for surfers, windsurfers and kite surfers. I booked it because my son likes to surf. Right next to the hotel is the surfers' shop where can rent everything. Some of the rooms were renovated with a modern shower.

This 4 star hotel has good sea view and if it was duly maintained could be a beautiful hotel. It needs a refurbishment and cleaning. The room was very big, warm and clean with a stunning sea view. The breakfast was a completely disappointment. We have been in 2 stars Hotels with more variety and quality that his one. Some bread and supermarket cake, butter and jam, mixed eggs and sausages and some season fruit (orange, banana and apples). A dubious orange juice and red fruits juice. Reception staff was very helpful and warm.

Very Lovely spot in the majestic beauty of Portugal. Dinner was amazing! But even though personnel was very professional, the location beauty and wilderness is what will amaze you. Thanks to all the staff, they where very helpful.

This hotel is situated in a fabulous location overlooking the beach. The hotel itself is very tired and dated, although some rooms have been modernised. We had a "superior" room, which was ok, but lacked basic amenities such as a hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities. The breakfast was buffet style, but the foodstuffs were not covered, although I did ask a staff member one day, and I was pretty much ignored. On one occasion we put a cover over some food, but a staff member removed it immediately. Flies were landing everywhere - not good food safety practice. We found one member of staff to be particularly helpful- Andrea on reception. She was friendly, efficient and professional - a credit to the hotel. The interior of the windows were dirty, although I do understand it would be impossible to keep the exteriors clean due to the location. In my opinion a lot of work and money needs to be spent in order to make this hotel a 4 star award building. It's a great location for surfers and that's the best praise I can give it. The bus to Cascais for 2 is €7.70, but you can get a taxi for approx €8.00 - well worth it. …

What a pity. I got married here 18 years ago and the place just does not look the same! This is situated next to one of the nicest beaches in the Cascais area, called Guincho. It has so much potential but it really looks like no money has been invested into it for the last 18 years. What a shame because the pool is so nice, the restaurant overlooking the beach is great but what a disappointment!

Sorry ... only now saw the question. The place was clean for sure but it is coastal shabby in appearance ... meaning rust, weather beaten and generally not chic. It is clean. We enjoyed it. The location is 1st class. Fabulous beach. Restaurant food was more goodish home cooking than expected restaurant flair but again GOOD and no complaints. Set your expectations reasonably and and you will have a good time. Consider also that this location is NOT Cascais central and you will need to drive to town.
