Oitavos Dunes

Very spacious room but a bit cold in November. The bed is very comfortable and big. The design of the room is however not very good. There is no door between the bedroom and the bathroom/ toilet so it will be really awkward for friends or teenager siblings staying in the same room. The breakfast was really great. Many choices, especially the fruit bar was super nice. A lot of staff running around taking away your dish too soon.😆

I had an incredible experience staying at the Oitavos hotel! It was my first visit, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The breakfast was outstanding, with a fantastic variety of high-quality options. The pool was lovely, and the spa facilities were exceptional, featuring a beautiful sauna where you could watch the sunset in the evenings. The gym was also well-equipped for a hotel gym. However, the standout aspect of my stay was definitely the staff. Ricardo and Luis took care of us on several evenings and ensured our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. They truly are a credit to the hotel and the main reason I’m giving this place a well-deserved 5-star rating!

Pros: - Massive rooms - Nice front desk and breakfast staff Cons: - This is the kind of hotel that looks great in photos but when you get there you notice that it looks like it hasn't been maintained in a decade. Peeling paint, everything rusting and dirty, stains all over, etc. It feels like a convention center, and has as many rules (not allowed to bring anything from breakfast to the room, not allowed to bring outside food in, etc). - At breakfast, there's about 200 other guests. It's really like being at a conference center, with massive groups. - The gym is a decent size but nobody maintained it and all the towels were dirty (despite asking twice for fresh ones). The spa was also very dirty looking. - Room was not very clean. We had to do our own cleaning to not feel gross. - The main issue we had though was that we could hear every step when the people above walked, waking us up. The top floor, however, has the loud noise of all the air conditioners....

Lovely location just outside of Cascais! We went here for our honeymoon and it was lovely. I suggest getting a room where you can watch the sunrise, it’s so peaceful. Very clean rooms and outside. Pool was very nice and relaxing. Best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had!!

The rooms are spacious and pretty, but the bathroom/toilet situation is weird if you are not alone in the room. The staff is friendly and polite. The hotel is a bit outside of the city so you always need a car to get around. The balconies are also very big and with a nice view. The breakfast is great so if you are staying in the hotel, deffinitely get the room with breakfast.
