We had a very enjoyable time in Sesimbra.
We had a very enjoyable time in Sesimbra OceanFront and the weather was better than what was forecasted . Hotel was excellent , we were all very happy and had no complaints .
Aroeira and Quinta do Peru were all in very good condition
Troia was a little disappointing- the greens were sanded and the place was not in top condition, but I think they were badly affected by a storm and it resulted in much of the course looking a bit scruffy .
Overall , we were very happy and I think the intention is to return to Sesimbra again for our trip in 2026 .
We enjoyed our short trip in Aroeira
It was a good trip once again, we really like Portugal and we enjoyed our short trip in Aroeira.
The Aroeira Hotel is a nice and modern hotel, the rooms are nice as well but not big and it has a nice swimming pool area in the garden. The position is very good, just few minutes from the golf courses and few minutes drive from the (beautiful) beach. The reception staff very kind and helpful, special mention Rosalia, the manager, and Maria from the reception and the navette service. Breakfast was ok in general, pastries were very good, the coffee machines only decent and the quality of ham, cured meets, cheese wasn't special. We didn't try the hotel restaurant but we enjoyed the bar by the swimming pool and it was ok.
The golf courses:
Aroeira 2, were we played the first two days was in decent conditions, after two days of heavy rain. 5/10 the fairways and 8/10 the greens, the design of the course is nice but some holes (2 and 3 e.g.) are surrounded by too many block of flats.
Aroeira 1, were we played on Saturday and Sunday it's for sure sexier (very good looking villas around) but needs some months to mature because it has been just reopened and the greens (and around the greens) there is plenty of sand.
Golf Quinta do Peru, as you know some of us played there (I didn't) and they were enthusiastic about and they consider it better than the two golf in Aroeira.
Thank you for your axcellent job.
Our holiday was perfect
Our holiday was perfect thank you.
We returned this year as we so enjoyed 2023 and we were not disappointed.
The Sesimbra Spa Hotel service is both friendly and efficient and the golf courses are enjoyable (Aroeira Pines Classic, Aroeira Challenge and Quinta do Peru), with very helpful staff .
For us the only negative is the fact the courses are a fair distance away, which means arranging transfers that are expensive.
We had a great stay in lisbon
We had another great stay in lisbon area and really enjoied the new hotel, Aroeira Lisbon Hotel.
We had a very warm welcome personally of the Manager. Also the rooms are very nice. Breakfast and also the Restaurant is great! We also liked the whole area and the option to walk to Restaurants in the evening.
All three golf courses are in great shape and we liked all of them (Aroeira Pines Classic, Aroeira Challenge and Quinta do Peru). Really nice!
We were already starting the discussion for our next year stay and we might consider to stay again at Aroeira.
Our room was very big with a beautiful view
Our trip to Portugal was very nice and unfortunately already over.
The Sesimbra Hotel was okay, our room was very big with a beautiful view. The receptionist was very nice and helpful. Breakfast, restaurant and so on were in case of Corona a little restricted.
The golf courses Aroeira I and Quinta do Peru were very good. Aroeira II wasn't that good.
The golfclub rental went very well. Only the balls didn't always go where they should have. That must have been the fault of the clubs :-)
Otherwise we liked everything very much and we can totally recommend the trip. Thank you very much.
Safety and hygiene procedures were well organized and appropriate
Dear Kelly, We have to thank you and Sara for your excellent assistance. The hotel Quinta da Marinha was great, as were the Golf courses. Outstanding services, well organized to handle the challenges posed by Covid 19. Perfect facilities. Oitavos is nice but way overpriced. The other three courses (Quinta da Marinha, Quinta do Peru and Penha Longa) were excellent value for money. Safety and hygiene procedures were well organized and appropriate.
