Casa Moinho by Olala Homes

Santiago do Cacém

"Beautiful and comfortable home. The listing was a little incomplete so it was unclear exactly what we were getting but pleasantly surprised. One very confusing experience is they never mentioned an actual couple lives on-site and are the hosts. They came by when we got there and were very kind and accommodating. It just would have been helpful to know they would be there. The listing said it was entirely self check-in. "

Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Hotel Dom Vasco

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel in Sines. Worth the money."

Spatia Comporta, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Spatia Comporta was wonderful, largely thanks to the incredible staff. From before arrival, they shared property amenities and activity suggestions, and once we arrived, they took care of everything from arranging car services, handling in-room needs, and even picking up items at the convenience store in town. The property itself made the stay just as special. It never felt crowded (we may have visited just before high season) and the property is set in a quiet, peaceful evergreen forest. It had such a calm, restorative feel. We stayed in one of the Cabanas and loved having our own free-standing accommodations. The outdoor sitting area and shower were welcome touches. The pool was heated and very comfortable, and pool staff were kind and attentive. Breakfast was a highlight every morning. We also had dinner on-site, including at Nesto. Everything we ordered at Nesto was excellent. The staff were friendly and genuinely curious to hear our thoughts. Standouts included the Colada Punch and Hazelnut Old Fashioned cocktails (the best drinks of our trip), the lamb samosas and whole fried seabream. The Salmon Uramaki with peanut butter was an absolute favorite. We had two minor room issues (HVAC and plumbing), but the staff resolved both promptly and sent over a charcuterie plate as a gesture of goodwill. We had great conversations with many of the staff and are already looking forward to coming back!"

Quinta da Comporta Wellness Boutique Resort

8/10 Good

"Hotel was beautiful, pool was stunning, loungers very comfortable, gym and spa were brilliant and the majority of staff were helpful. The cleaning staff were incredible and our room was spotless. The restaurant food wasn’t great and the staff weren’t hugely helpful or proactive. For example there is a sushi menu but this isn’t handed out, you have to ask for it. We were served wine on one evening which was the end of the bottle and not a full serve and we had to ask and then remjnd the waiter to open a new bottle to fill the glass. The pool menu is very limited (and doesn’t include sushi despite it being a very small distance from the kitchen). We stayed in a loft suite and there were a number of sharp cracked tiles around the bath. There is a shuttle to one beach but it finishes at 4.30 (there are no Ubers and getting a taxi is almost impossible) so it would be good if they could expand the shuttle service to the other beach clubs / restaurants (e.g comporta cafe / jncquoi) and run the shuttle for longer."
