Estoril Beach Resort is in a good location just 5 minutes walk to the beach and small town of Sal Rei. Unfortunately that is where the benefits end.

For the quality of service and rooms I cannot see how they can justify charging prices that are on par with higher standard accommodation throughout Europe (€60 per night).

The double room was very basic with two singles put together, a fan and grotty bathroom. We were without hot water for 3 days during our week stay, with no alternative given for showering. Towels were not changed at all during the stay.

The staff are a mixed bunch, with some extremely friendly and some seeming like being there was the last thing they wanted to be doing. We had a day wasted when an island tour was cancelled and reception did not pass on the message the day before.

The restaurant was ok, but there are some better options in the area and they are all similarly priced.

Overall, the location was fine but I would look at other options as this hotel does not justify the prices being charged.

If you want to have worst breakfast, slowest staff as well as most unfriendly staff - go there. Come nice in combination with the non existing 3W Windsurf and Kite center - store your gear for € 50/week in the sand - thanx guys!
