Fantastic golf holiday!
I just wanted to send you a short note to say what a fantastic golf holiday we had as a group of 10.
The Kimpton Quinta da Marinha and Golf Courses were exceptional, all of them (Quinta da Marinha, Penha Longa, Estoril and Oitavos). The Airport/golf transport was on time every day and the drivers very courteous. Cascais was an ideal play to stay and explore.
Big Thank you to you Rona for organising our trip and I can recommend to anyone to use your service.
Es hat alles sehr gut geklappt
Leider ist unsere Reise bereits zu Ende gegangen. Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich für die hervorragende Organisation bedanken. Alles verlief reibungslos.
Das Hotel Palacio Estoril kannte ich bereits von einer früheren Reise. Wir waren mit dem Service sehr zufrieden.
Die Golfplätze waren wunderschön und gut gepflegt (Estoril Golf, Penha Longa, Oitavos und Quinta da Marinha).
Derzeit finden im Zugangsbereich zum Estoril-Platz Bauarbeiten statt. Das ist jedoch nur ein vorübergehendes Problem.
Die Leihschläger waren in Ordnung.
Our visit to Portugal could not have been any better!
Our visit to Portugal could not have been any better !! It was a fantastic experience that will be repeated for many years to come.
Marriott Praia D'el Rey - absolutely perfect with all aspects. Location, Rooms, Breakfast, Housekeeping and staff were well trained, professional and friendly to interact with. Absolutely, we will be returning !!
Kimpton Quinta da Marinha - very nice, recently redecorated and very nice, rooms a wee bit small but very comfortable. Staff was exceptional and professionally well trained.
Every golf course was very well manicured and in great shape. Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of all the courses and their staff Will definitely repeat. We would definitely recommend "Buggies" for West Cliffs, Royal Obidos, Penha Longa......we used trolleys on West Cliffs & Royal Obidos and almost died....hahaha. Learned our lesson and used buggies on Penha Longa & Oitavos Dunes and had a wonderful time. Both Praia D'el Rey and the Quinta da Marinha courses were fine with trolleys.
Highlight: May 1st at Royal Obidos, I had a Hole in One on #6 !!
Great golf trip
The Hotel Palacio Estoril has a nice historical feel if a little bit of faded glory. The staff are generally very helpful and friendly. The bar staff are pleasant but not very efficient. The common areas , the gym and spa etc are all good. The rooms are ok but could do with a an uplift and twin rooms have small single beds which cannot be pushed together. However overall it was good value and I would be happy to go back there.
Of the 3 courses, Penha Longa was my favourite but others preferred Oitavos. Estoril Golf Club was a bit scruffy and there are long distances between some holes so I would say a buggy is essential but Estoril had a nice bar and a traditional golf club feel
The transport you arranged for us was very efficient, punctual and friendly.
Overall it was a great success and we are likely to repeat at some point.
Thanks for all of your help
Thanks for all of your help in organising the trip. Our group had a great time and were very impressed by the hotel, courses and area in general.
Hotel Palacio Estoril: Beautiful hotel, rooms were of a high standard and the breakfast was great. Lovely outdoor pool which was a nice temperature given how hot it was. Location is also great with the beach a few mins walk away.
Courses: Estoril was a pleasant surprise as we weren't expecting much. Some great character to the course and we all enjoyed our round there. Penha Longa it's a great course though with some challenging holes. Oitavos was probably our least favourite course although the strong wind blowing may have played a part.
Overall we had a great stay and will return at some stage in the future.
Helpful and friendly service
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.
