We are very happy with our holiday.
Eva, we are very happy with our holiday. The Hotel Marriott Praia d'el Rey was excellent (as a Marriot should be), the Praia d'el Rey golf course perfectly suited for us, the beach and the sea beautiful and the Airport transfer was extraordinary. We were especially pleased with our driver and his service mindedness!
And thank You for Your support during the whole set up of the trip. We will definitely come back to Portugal and I will recommend Your service to our friends. Thank You!
We would definitely recommend both the destination and the organization.
Eva, we would like to thank you for the perfect support you have provided us through Portugal Golf for the planning and realization of our golf package. Everything went very well. I particularly appreciated your kindness and good responsiveness.
Hotel Marriott Praia d'El Rey: This is a very good hotel for golfers. Nice rooms, good facilities, nice and knowledgeable people. Very convenient in all respects.
Hotel Palacio Estoril: Also a good hotel with a perfect location and surroundings. As for the rooms, my room on the 1st floor was perfect, large and comfortable, with a very nice view of the garden and pool. Unfortunately, this was not the case for our friends, with a small room on the 3rd floor and a not so pleasant view of the back of the hotel that did not meet legitimate expectations.
Very nice golf courses: Penha Longa and West Cliffs are our favorites, followed by Oitavos Dunes and Praia d'El Rey. All beautiful and very well maintained. Bom Sucesso is interesting to play, but unfortunately by far not in as good conditions as the others.
We really enjoyed our trip and we would definitely recommend both the destination and the organization. Thank you!!!
We were very impressed about the golf courses
Our stay for a golfweek in Portugal was very pleasant and sucessful indeed.
We enjoyed the days and were pleased with the ambiente at the Hotel Marriott Praia d'el Rey and a great service.
Also we were very impressed about the golf courses (Praia d'el Rey, West Cliffs, Royal Obidos & Bom Sucesso) with different designs and impressive nature.
Many thanks for your organisation and support. We look forward to a next opportunity.
Everything was wonderful for us
Sara, everything was wonderful for us... Except my golf result the last day on west cliff course haha. thanks for your absolutely professional and kind assistance. We highly recommend you to our friends!!!
Thank you and your team for organizing this wonderful holiday
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.
Great condition on all courses.
Hotel Marriott Praia d'el Rey was great, and the service was excellent. The free shuttle service worked exceptionally well. Also, the customer service person did a great job. Breakfast was tasty. Special thanks to the Omelet station.
Sauna / indoor pool area should be open longer. When coming back from the golf course it would be great to go and relax, but it was always closed by the time we got back.
West Cliffs, Praia d’el Rey & Royal Obidos Golf courses: Great condition on all courses. West Cliffs had several blind landing areas. It was hard to know if the ball was lost or in the middle of the fairway. Great courses.
The biggest problem in the area. No shops to buy snacks or drinks to golf courses. Using shuttle bus a couple of times per week to go to some closest shop would solve the problem, but we did not ask if that had been possible.
