Encosta das Oliveiras Holidays

Room was very nice! Better than anticipated. Parking on the street was very easy. There’s a guy on the street trying to help you park. I believe he’s just a guy trying to make money and not part of any hotel. He was friendly to walk past. Room was large and clean. Great view of the ocean and able to hear it at night. Quiet safe area to walk around solo female at night. Only cons was no hair conditioner and the hair dryer pretty old. Those are easy to get over :) had pastel de nata from "Vânia" - Patisserie and Snack-Bar nearby and they were soooo good. Would def stay again.

Fantastic location on a cliff, take the stairs down to a stunning beach. Walkable to restaurants and the tourist train stop. Great breakfast.

Apartment roomy , clean and kitchen fully equipped. Best of all it has English tv.

Everything. Staff was exceptional, the room was spacious and bright with a nice balcony. Close to everything.

Hotel Review Our stay was overall very pleasant. The staff were great—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The rooms were large, spacious, and well-appointed, and we appreciated being accommodated for a room change to get a better view. The amount of closet space in the suite was also fantastic, which is a rare treat in most hotels. The food was very good, especially the salads, which were fresh and full of flavour. Some of the meats, however, were a bit hit or miss—some lacked tenderness or depth of taste—but overall the dining experience was enjoyable. Would be nice to have real juices as well. One area that could be improved is housekeeping. The cleaning style followed what I was told is more of an American approach, where the beds aren’t crisply made—more of a “cover pulled over” look. Once I realised that, I ended up making the bed myself to get it looking neater. There were also a few minor details missed, like wine stains on the table that hadn’t been wiped properly. If that’s the intended cleaning style, it might be helpful for guests to have some basic cleaning supplies available, though ideally, surfaces should just be cleaned as part of the service.
