Guest reviews· 9.5/10 (314)

Penha Longa Resort consistently receives high praise as a fantastic, five-star family-friendly hotel, with reviewers frequently highlighting the quality of its facilities and services. Guests often commend the comfortable rooms, the excellent food, and the exceptionally polite and helpful staff, contributing to a consistently positive experience.

The resort is also celebrated for its wellness offerings, with guests describing their stays as some of the best wellness weekends they've experienced. The tranquil surroundings and beautiful amenities, particularly the spa and wellness center, are frequently mentioned as key contributors to a relaxing and rejuvenating visit. The availability of special diet menus upon request and the option for breakfast in the room further enhance the guest experience, catering to individual needs and preferences.

While the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, some guests have noted that the rooms can feel small. However, this appears to be a minor concern that does not detract significantly from the otherwise brilliant stays reported by the majority of visitors.
