Serra de Arrabida Spa Hotels

"Arriving at the hotel, the first thing we encountered was congestion at the entrance. There is little room to pull your car up but there is an adjacent public lot with EV charging station if you could find a spot. The lobby and public areas are nice and clean with marble throughout. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. The bellman came out to our car in the adjacent lot to gather our belongings and showed us to our room on the 5th floor. The room was nice, clean, and spacious as well as the bathroom. The bathroom had everything necessary but the room only had 1 blanket and no extra pillows for 3 people in 3 separate beds. We called the front desk and everything was promptly taken care of. There was a mini bar in the room although no ice was available unless you went down to the lobby bar with your bucket. We had dinner in the restaurant which was good and also had the breakfast buffet the next morning. BTW, when you check in you will be asked if you would like to prepay for the buffet it was 16€ pp, otherwise it is 18€ pp at the door. Also, if you eat at the restaurant and you want to charge it to your room, you have to set up a credit line in advance when you check in. The hotel has an underground lot for 16€ per day, otherwise there are a couple public lots free from 7pm-9am The hotel was easy to get to and in a good location near major roads and mass transit. There is a large park and college campus nearby so you’ll see many students walking around and at the cafes. "

"Shuttle bus into town is great!!"

"Modern, clean and comfortable. The high tech light switches were a bit clumsy, not labeled and needed trial and error to switch on and off until you learn them. Bed was very comfortable; breakfast was good with lots of options. Gym was nice, but a bit small. Spa looked beautiful but didn’t use."

"Loved our room and the view, breakfast was huge and delicious. Several good restaurants in walking distance. Love the sky bar but recommend reservations for a weekend night. Close taxi or uber ride to airport. "

"Food was terrible "
