Pousada Castelo de Alcácer do Sal - Historic Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"What an amazing hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly, our room was large, and very clean, but the real star of the show is the stunning castle itself. There are so many areas to explore. Sitting rooms, the chapel, a pool table room, and the outside pool area is from a fairytale. It’s like going back in time. We felt like royalty. 100% recommended."
"Beautiful, peaceful facility with an incredible breakfast. The perfect place for a relaxing getaway, whether you’re escaping the city for the weekend or simply looking to unwind after busy travels."
"Overall, the hotel was lovely. The room was clean and had everything we needed, although if you need an iron you need to request the whole laundry service. The staff were so helpful and really friendly, nothing was too much trouble. It is in a quiet area near the river but hard to walk anywhere from it. Only a short drive to Alcacer do Sal. The pool needed cleaning along the bottom and there was a long trail of ants along the corridor until our final night. The breakfast was delicious, a selection of cooked food, pastries, fruit, cold meat and cereals although most days there were a couple of bits missing, not that this mattered too much. Dinner in the evening was superb. Everything cooked to perfection and staff were very attentive. I would be happy to stay here again but maybe better for short stays"
"We found Spatia Comporta extremely peaceful, relaxing, & absolutely beautiful. The young staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful especially on the weekend. I was debating between 2 hotels, and felt the images of Spatia Comporta did not quite do justice - in capturing the beautifully landscaped tranquil environment, & level of serenity in all the details - this coming from NYC. The main pool area for adults only was so peaceful I didn’t want to leave. The only recommendation we would suggest is in the bedding. We had come from the Intercontinental & was a little surprised about the harder bed & pillows. Regardless, something about the air & being there allowed for solid sleep & I awoke feeling refreshed, albeit a little sore. I did a morning yoga on our private deck & simply sat in the quiet for a few minutes to truly exhale. I loved it & hope to return."
"The location to walk around town was great. A bit further to the beach but still walkable! Rooms were small but clean and cute. We also used the pool which was nice and the breakfast was very good! The staff seemed happy at there jobs!"
"Overall this was a lovely place to stay but I feel obliged to point out some aspects which were lacking. The sound of our neighbours using the bathroom (toilet) were rather unwelcome, especially during the night. The Nespresso machine should have been a bonus bout an initial run through revealed it was desperately in need of a clean. Off the very few available sockets for charging my phone, the one adjacent to the bed was literally falling out of the wall very dangerously. The only other usable one being in the bathroom! Having a solar powered balcony light sounds like a great idea but it really would have benefited from an off switch bc of unwanted light all night from outside. Also the air dripped onto the balcony and a hanger was broken. Apart from this, the hostess was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, the bed was massive and comfortable, and the lighting was good. Also, a decent shower and blackout curtain. "
