Fortaleza do Guincho

It’s hard to find the right words to describe how amazing was the experience at Fortaleza do Guincho! The place is extremely special! Beautiful construction, perfect location… our stay was a dream coming true! The most special thing about this place is definitely the people! Every single person from the staff is kind and friendly. I had a very different group coming with me, from different ages and a little dog! And they were very inclusive, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Both restaurants are also amazing! Worth trying and worth everything.

The staff is friendly and accommodating as you would expect from a 5-star hotel. The beach/ocean views were great for our superior sea view room and the food was fine even though the Michelin 1-star restaurant was closed when we were there. As preparation for enjoying the beaches our bed had sand on the sheets(!). On checkout no compensation was made for not changing the sheets in our €370/night room, but we were given a 10% discount for any future visit.

Beautiful hotel with beautiful view, great service with good food too!! Will definitely visit again!! Thanks so much for everything ❤️

Wonderful experience in an old Military Navy Fort! Wonderful decoration and great service. The cappuccino during the Breakfast was the best I ever had!

Great Luxury Hotel with impeccable service! 2 dining options, casual + Michelin. Nice bar area (with a TV, while luxury, not stuffy). Staff works to accommodate requests like luggage storage and early check-in. They carry your bags to your room at check-in. Hotel does not have an elevator. Good views and some rooms have a unique sitting area with views of the beach. Well worth a night or two.

They have a beautiful terass where you can have lunch. I have never stayed there but I like their resturangs.

We’ve just returned from 4 nights in this fantastic hotel. Location is stunning! Guincho beach is amazing. ||The hotel is excellent with very high standards of cleanliness and service. ||Food is excellent - from breakfast to bar food and of course the fantastic Michelin star restaurant. What a treat that was. When we arrived, the first two nights were fully booked and so we were glad to be able to dine on our final night.||Special mention to ALL the staff who were all very friendly, polite and helpful. From reception, bar (Rui!), breakfast, restaurant and the cleaning staff. |We can’t wait to return!

We stayed at Fortaleza do Guincho as part of our Portugal trip, and the entire experience was fantastic. The location offers stunning sea views with beach access just a minute away. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed several wonderful meals at the hotel’s restaurant. During our stay, we encountered a minor issue with our room, which the staff promptly resolved by upgrading us to a better room. The service was excellent, and the staff were very helpful. A thoughtful touch was the freshly picked tangerines they brought to our room. At night, the only sound was the waves crashing on the shore, providing a peaceful and restful atmosphere. I highly recommend Fortaleza do Guincho for anyone looking for tranquility and relaxation. It’s also conveniently close to Cascais.
