We felt close to nature, silent and relaxing. The food was also very good, including the breakfast with local food.

It just would have been helpful to know they would be there. The listing said it was entirely self check-in. "

Recent Reviews in Santa Cruz

Casa do Médico de São Rafael

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was so kind and helpful. Shout out to Nelson, Jose and Nicole. Dinner was fabulous. The buffet breakfast is outstanding, not your typical breakfast. The hotel was immaculately clean. I don’t have enough good things to say. The view is great, you sit high above the bay, so very, very nice view. If there was one slight drawback for us, the beds we had were very, very firm. But then, that’s a personal preference. To each his own. Photo is from a mile or two north, not from the property."

Sublime Comporta Country Retreat & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"The Sand Wing is absolutely stunning, and the rooms are to an extremely high standard. Breakfast is also divine. That said, the service really lets the hotel down. For the prices they charge, I expected service to be exceptional, but unfortunately it wasn’t anything special. On top of that, the service charge added to the hotel bill at the end is outrageous. If you’re paying £5,000 for your stay, being charged around another £500 in service fees feels excessive, particularly when the service doesn’t reflect that level of charge. When we arrived, we were given a QR code and a brochure and told to message if there was anything we wanted to arrange. I messaged about a few things and received no response. When I chased it, I was then told that they no longer offered everything that was actually listed in the brochure we had been given. Bizarre, to say the least. Overall, it’s a stunning hotel, but if you’re considering staying, I would strongly recommend booking the brand-new Sand Wing. The hotel has huge potential, but for the prices they’re charging, the service really needs to improve. They need to go above and beyond to make the experience feel genuinely five-star."

Amarello Hotel Praia Santo Andre, Tapestry Collection Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely, stylish hotel in beautiful, peaceful location. Generous breakfast and good- quality evening dining available, though there are also a handful of cafe/bar/restaurants within a few minutes’ walk. Staff without exception friendly and helpful, with good English. Very relaxing atmosphere. Anyone interested in birds, nature and ecology will love the lagoon reserve, with its varied habitats, and if you’re willing to walk a little, you can find huge stretches of glorious beach all to yourself - though beware the Atlantic swells if it’s windy. Half an hour’s scenic drive takes you down the coast to pretty Porto Covo with its cliffs, coves, cafes and gift shops, whilst beautiful Évora is a couple of hours away and makes a lovely change for a day out. Or just chill on the hotel’s rooftop pool/bar terrace and wander down to the beach if you want to stretch your legs. The lagoon is shallow, with no waves, so good for wallowing or splashing about with small people. There’s a lifeguard on the Atlantic side and warning flags to indicate swimming conditions. We loved it all…"

Quinta da Comporta Wellness Boutique Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay, the suite was spacious and beautiful. Both the outdoor and indoor pools were stunning. The restaurant was great too, 5 stars all round 😃 one suggestion for QDC, it would be great to have a more casual/snack bar option for lunches or dinners, to give an extra option"
