Estoril Eden Hotel, Estoril

Advantages: Location, decoration and design, service, etc.
Disadvantages: none...

...I was thinking of the review to write in this Christmas period and this 5-star hotel came to my mind... It reminded me of one of the greatest hotel I've ever stayed with. To be more frank, I've been supported by EC-ASEAN to join a 2-week training in Portugal. So, the arrangement and cost are covered by them. I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. GENERAL INFO Their own description about their hotel is: 'A glamorous five star hotel in the grand tradition of a golden era - come for the distinction and the elegance of the Estoril coast, its shops, entertainment and restaurants; the sun and the beach; our own golf course and the best casino in Europe.'

A normal hotel room is more than adequate for a couple, however, when travelling with another couple, you have a choice (particularly when travelling to Spain or Portugal, it seems) between renting two double or twin rooms in a hotel, or sharing a two bedroom holiday apartment.

We were there six days and five nights. As the holiday had been booked through a travel agent, we were met at the airport by a driver, and driven the 40 minutes or so from the airport to the hotel. One of the first things you notice is the cobbled semi... Read review
