This hotel is great! Everyone has been SOOO nice and friendly! Diana at the front desk was very helpful and guided us on taking the train, and walking along the ocean walkway. The gentleman at the breakfast buffet was awesome. The service he provided is second to none AND he spoke French! We visited the bar twice (so far) and Fernando makes the best drinks! He served us some of the best espresso martinis we’ve had, and we’ve had a lot (😳) …obrigado Fernando! Estoril is lovely, a short train ride to Lisbon (very easy), a short walk along the oceanfront to Cascais (worth it). Every staff member we interacted with treated us like royalty. I would definitely stay here again!
