Arribas Sintra Hotel

From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed by the hotel staff. A special mention to Tiago, who stood out for his warmth and attentiveness — we felt an immediate connection, which set the tone for the rest of our stay. When we entered our room, we were blown away by the view. Framed perfectly by the window, we could see the sea stretching out in front of us, with surfers gliding across the waves — a serene and energizing sight to wake up to. The swimming pool was another highlight: absolutely stunning and with the perfect water temperature. We easily could have spent the entire day there, just relaxing and soaking it all in. Breakfast in the morning was a delight, with a variety of fresh and tasty options that left us feeling well taken care of. Overall, our experience was fantastic — peaceful and beautiful. We’re already looking forward to returning.

The window view is trully astonishing! It's worth it! You get asleep to the sounds of the ocean and you wake up to the light noises of ocean waves. Rooms are soundproof. You can never hear any other sounds expect for those of the nature outside. So the sleep was trully peaceful.

The balcony and the view

Fabolous view from room, dining areas, and public areas in hotel, access to beach, and nice walk along coast to Praia de Maca from the hotel - beautiful views of coastline. Hotel decor and rooms very nice, staff so so so helpful, and very accommodating to needs, Enjoyed the lovely selection available for breakfast each morning, limited options on evening menu for the "fussy" eater, but other options available in the area., Nice coffee shop also on site. An ideal base for trips to Cascais, Mafra and Ericeira, the bus stop beside the hotel, is perfect, we chose to use public transport for a trip to Lisbon, getting bus to Sintra, and train from there to LIsbon,

The view alone is worth staying at this hotel for! We truly regret checking in late in the evening and only having a few hours the next day before noon to enjoy it. We really want to come back again, especially to swim in the gorgeous, massive pool! We booked our stay on my birthday, and as a bonus, the hotel upgraded our room category for free — such a lovely gesture! Breakfast was varied and delicious, and the staff was excellent. It’s clear that the hotel has been around for many years, but it’s well-maintained and cared for. Prices may be quite high during peak season, but we haven’t found any other hotel quite like this one!
