Palace Hotel & Spa Termas de S. Tiago is well worth a visit, the hotel is spacious, clean, comfortable and well run. The breakfast is self service with everything laid on for you and is of a high quality. The spa facilities are good, the pool has powerful jets that massage well and the staff are welcoming. The gym is small but user friendly. Situated just outside the lovely town of Penamacor in this sleepy area of Portugal, you get a real treat of a retreat here. I will come again and highly recommend.

Location wasn't near any big site seeing attractions. Room very large and clean. Didn't like dark hallways which needed to be motion activated.

4 star jotel with 2 stad standard
Negatives. Staff at reception very poor from when we walked in untill we left. Fridge in room not working, reported it 3 times. Wifi in room was very poor. Breakfast below average. There was not enough staff, hence tables not getting cleared and items not being replenished quick enough. Horrible smell all the time in bathroom. We never used the swimming pool as i thought it was expensive. Positives. We had a nice big bright room with 3 balconies but minus chairs to sit out on.

Annoyed
Asked for a quiet room. Told that because I had booked through hotels.com and not paid the full rate that this was not possible. Put near reception next to a group of teenagers. For the same reason the gym and pool would cost €12 per hour EXTRA. Pool looked good but gym was basic with little equipment Breakfast was definitely not 4 star

More attention to small details would be helpful.
Breakfast was appalling. On the last day I stayed there were more guests so they put out a different selection of food. When it was just minimal guests the choice was very poor. Disappointed at the €12 charge to use the pool / gym for an hour. Also was very uninviting and dark. The corridor lights were on a sensor - which I do understand for economy and environmental reasons - but there was a significant delay which meant most of the time I was fumbling in the dark which felt a little like I was in The Shining! Waiting on the twins popping out.... Staff - were amenable. Room was clean but lacked facilities such as an iron or tea and coffee making facilities. Was planning on returning with young family but no TV choices for children apparent which is always handy when trying to get ready in the morning.

Excellent well-priced and well located hotel
This hotel is situated a 10 minute walk from central Penamacor. The rooms are clean and a good size, the hotel has lovely grounds and a good spa with swimming pool and sauna/steam room. The staff are friendly and helpful but sometimes it took me a while to get served.

Ideal to visit Monsanto and other castles around
very nice facility in the middle of nowhere. Quiet. Affordable. Good breakfast. We didn t like the meditation style music in the breakfast room but other than that it was great. Short stay for us but could be a place to stop and relax.

Demasiadas estrelas para este "hotel"
Os quartos tinham óptimas condições e limpeza. Termas com tempo controlado, sauna não funcionava e preços de acesso a outros serviços proibitivos. Pequeno almoço, do que pior que vi nos últimos anos: falta de quantidade e qualidade dos produtos, sumos de pacote, serviço de mesa (tolhas, talheres...) inexistente devido ao pouco pessoal e à desorganização evidente. A culpa não será só de quem lá está mas muitos de quem "gere" à antiga.

4 estrelas muito pobre
O hotel em causa tem a classificação de 4 estrelas, mas não entendo porquê, pois a nível de conforto, pequeno almoço, qualidade de materiais e toalhas muito abaixo do padrão de um verdadeiro 4 estrelas. A recepção estava praticamente às escuras bem como A sala de estar e de jogos. O snooker apesar de ser pago não tinha praticamente luz. Não recomendo.

Escapadinha de fim de semana.
Fim de semana com amigos, hotal espaçoso, limpo e muito bem localizado. Piscina ampla e aquecida. Muito agradável. No inverno a temperatura nas zona públicas podia ser um pouco melhor. Serra da Malcata, Penamacor, Idanha-a-Velha, Penha Garcia ou Monsanto, tudo muito próximo.

If you are looking for a real 4 stars hotel, don't go there : it looks cheap, the food isn't good and the design bad and very cold as all the lights. This place is not elegant.
