Santa Maria Maior Vacations from $849

The property itself is beautiful and has characters. It holds a luxurious vacation home standards. The ladies who host the place are wonderful. The front entrance was hard to find. It would be nice if the room has air-conditioning.

This is a real gem. Wonderful facilities and amenities. Private and serene with fantastic service. Best upscale hotel in the area hands down.

We had a good stay, the reception staff are very welcoming and friendly. Room was clean and there was plenty of spare towels, pillows etc. We went on half board basis. Although there was plenty of food, it lacked taste. Buffet menu needs to improve, especially the hot food for vegetarians. Very insipid. Also we felt cheated because we asked for tap water at dinner and got charged for it! The head waiter takes the order for drinks and we felt it was his duty to inform customers that they charge even for tap water! It is ironical that they give free prosecco and at breakfast, but charge for water at dinner!! Customers can make an informed decision about ordering water if the hotel can make them aware of their charges. Overall, the staff are hard working and try very hard to do their best. Not a bad place to stay but be prepared to pay for your water at dinner!

Hotel check-in experience was unpleasant — staff seemed unwelcoming and not very helpful. Definitely room for improvement in guest service.” Food options are very limited and same menu for all 4 days that we stayed.

The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. I loved the beautiful flowers throughout the property. The breakfast was always delicious with happy friendly servers.
