Estalagem Da Ponta Do Sol

Guter Wellnessbereich mit Sauna, Whirlpool und türkischem Bad. Große Zimmer und das Rauschen der Wellen ist toll. Gutes Restaurant mit fairen Preisen.

Moeilijk parkeerplaats te vinden. Douche niet proper genoeg.

A very special stay 😊 From the elevator arrival, a spectacular view from the bridge to reception and on into the beautiful gardens and mesmerising view from our balcony, this is a unique and special place to stay. A few of the areas are showing signs of their age but everything is very clean and well tended. Eating in the garden restaurant be will hard to beat. The poolside was never crowded and nearby town offers plenty of evening choices plus ocean swimming not to be missed! 100% recommended - we’ll be sad if we can’t find time to return.

Das Hotel ist auf einem Hügel. Oben angekommen hat man eine wunderschöne Sicht auf Ponta do Sol. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit. Die Pools sind wunderschön und im Hotel ist es angenehm ruhig, dass man sich richtig entspannen kann.

Really interesting building, with access to the various levels via external escalators. An intriguing Bond villain vibe! The staff were all lovely, facilities were very good, and the rooms were simple but pleasant. The spa area was sometimes a little understaffed, but the pool was very nice and clean, with beautiful views. The restaurant was excellent, as was the breakfast. Overall a really nice stay!

This hotel setting is incredible however be prepared to walk for ages and take up to three lifts to get to your room! Reception is after the lift from the car park entrance and is manned by good friendly professional staff. Breakfast is up one floor from there and was ok without being exceptional. The second lift takes you further up the cliff(with lovely gardens) , across a walkway and onto the third lift to the room. The room was a good size, functional,as was the bathroom. Both could do with a little tlc. Two single beds, pushed together, made the double. They were firm but relatively comfortable. Porto do Sol is very nice with a great array of good restaurants. We ate twice at the Caprice ,which was excellent. Parking is in a small narrow car park and is not nearly enough for all the guest rooms. Roadside parking is also available but on a road frequented by large truck traffic, through the day. Finally the views across the ravine and down to the sea are what makes this hotel stand out as do the sunsets which were amazing.

We loved our stay at this beautiful hotel in Ponta Do Sol. Felt like a resort! Gorgeous grounds, pool and spa. Many spaces to sit and enjoy a drink. The views are exceptional throughout the hotel. Breakfast was amazing and offered a great variety. We highly recommend a stay here if visiting PDS

We had a the loveliest week at the Estalagem: super friendly staff, beautiful setting and gorgeous food made for incredibly relaxing surroundings. The 'garden view' room had a side sea view and despite being a light sleeper, I slept really well for the first 6 nights (there was some road noise and the sound of the waves). I agree with other reviews that the interior looked a little worn in places (bathroom floor & furnishings, cracks in wooden floor) and some of the furniture appeared a little cheap (lamps, thinly disguised plastic chairs, balcony furniture). However, this didn't really bother us too much. When "Purple Friday" was announced we were initially curious despite the fact we don't particularly enjoy techno. But the reality of the event and how it was managed had more of an impact on our last day than we would have considered reasonable. Our last dinner was fairly noisy & chaotic with people getting lost on their way from reception to the pool area and the (otherwise lovely) kitchen struggling to cope with demand. Even the poor reception dog was visibly distraught and tried to hide at the kitchen door. A brief visit to the party tent was followed by a rather sleepless last night due to noise from the bar below late into the night and a sad goodbye the next morning to a pool area littered in fag ends. It was just such a disappointing end to an otherwise perfect stay which left us puzzled as to why the hotel hosts these curiously ill-placed events. I imagine that the degree of bother will largely depend on which rooms you're in - those facing the pool get a lot of the party action, those facing the bar get the later noise. Presumably the top building with SE facing rooms (4xx/5xx) is relatively unaffected. I'm still not sure what my overall verdict is. It was a perfect holiday until the last day. Would we visit again? Probably not on a Friday night if Purple Fridays are still on.

Stunning setting set in the cliff side and fabulous architectural design let down by poor service and the place being generally rundown. The hotel could be fabulous but when we stayed it was a mediocre experience with surly service and a lack of attention to detail. Rooms are fine (great sea view for those that have them) but basic and not very clean. Bathrooms are disappointing with very basic product. Everything just felt fun down and unloved. Poor broken beds by the pool with old cushions, for example. Cheap furniture elsewhere. Service was poor. We booked three sea view rooms six months in advance only to be told on arrival that one room was not available due to ‘a mistake’. No apology. And generally lack of inclination to help. Bright spot: an excellent breakfast.

Det er en fantastisk beliggenhed og morgenmad er god. Dog kan det være svært at finde en parkeringsplads hvis du er i bil. Personale er meget servicemindet.
