Everything worked fine. The weather unfortunately was not the best, but not your fault.

Mariott in Playa del Rey was just perfect, staff extraordinary, the two golf course (Praia D'el Rey and West Cliffs) at the seaside just like Pebble Beach in California, but very windy but beautiful.

Hotel Penha Longa also super Hotel. Golf course too wet, most of the time in the year. but also a super golf course (Atlantic Championship golf course).
Treatment of staff in hotel and Golf office very kind and professional. We got even vourcher for next time to play, because we could not play 2 days.

Palacio Estoril like always excellent too. i love all employees, room compared to the two other hotels small, but ok. Breakfast excellent, Dinner Restaurant Grill first class.

We have just returned from our holiday in Portugal which we thoroughly enjoyed.

The Oitavos Hotel the room was large and luxurious, breakfast was good especially the selection of fruit and the Oitavos golf course was well maintained.

Penha Longa golf course was great. Service and staff at both resorts were helpful and friendly.

Eva, I would like to thank you and your team for organizing this wonderful holiday. There are a few things that I would like to comment about. One: the lodging facilities, I would rate Penha Longa #1 and 5 star. I spent one additional night at the Oitavos which was also excellent 5 star. The Troia Lagos apartments were very good as were the apartments at Praia Del Rey. But the bed was too hard At Praia d'el Rey. The sister larger hotel to Lagos in Troia which my GPS took us to first is still closed. 

The Mara restaurant in Praia d'el Rey also remains closed, so the clubhouse there is the only breakfast option.
Speaking of breakfast Pehna Longa and Oitavos was definitely way better than the other two. Praia was only average. Troia did a good job. Oitavos rivalled Penha Longa.

Now the golf:
West Cliffs was spectacularly beautiful and challenging. Massive elevation changes. Definitely the best and would play again many times but take a buggy! Which we did and bring lots of balls. Very easy to lose them there. We changed our tee times and played it twice.
Praia del Rey was also very good but played it on a very windy day so can’t judge it fairly. It’s a mix of links and parkland holes.
Oitavos Dunes we caught on a windy day too and so judging it fairly is hard. Great links design and in excellent condition. I would play it again.
Penha Longa Atlantic & Penha Longa Mosteiro is parkland and also very good especially the championship course. They are in the midst of some bunker refurbishment on a few holes. Once that is done it will be 5 star again.
Troia is a good course but not as good as the others. Less well maintained. No beverage cart. No water to drink on course and no on-course toilets. 
The whole Troia area is still recovering from the COVID disruption.

The building and construction going on around West Cliffs is remarkable. Will not recognize it probably when we come back.
Finally, the Melia hotel Lisbon Airport was excellent for catching an early morning flight. We walked that morning to terminal and made car drop off day before easy and allowed us to take the train into city centre night before departure to visit. Very convenient and efficient.

Eva, thanks for setting it all up.

Tout s’est bien au Penha Longa Resort. Passé avec un excellent accueil, une très belle chambre, un parcours de golf de qualité (Penha Longa) à la sortie de l’hiver.
Le desk tout à fait à la hauteur.
À bientôt pour une nouvelle expérience à vos côtés.

I would like to let you know that we had the most wonderful stay, and all the arrangements that you made were excellent. All the hotels (Onyria Quinta da Marinha, Hotel Palacio Estoril & Penha Longa) were first class, breakfasts were superb (and very good that they were included, as it allowed us not to go out and spend time looking for restaurants). Free parking was much appreciated as we had a car, and there was first class service in all places.
With respect to the golf courses, Quinta da Marinha was in just ok condition greens were good, but the fairways were bare in spots, we would rate it 6/10. The Hotel Palacio needs to invest more $$ into Estoril golf course's care. By far, the best was Penha Longa, which we would rate 9/10. All were walkable and we enjoyed walking. Many thanks again for your assistance, which too, was superb.
