It was our 3rd stay in The Oitavos and, as usual, we were very satisfied. The hotel has a very special style and we can understand, that not everyone like it but if you like it, you take it and if you don’t like it, you leave it. Each comment on Trip Advisor reflect the subjective opinion of the guest. Negative comments are OK, as long as they are fair. This is not always the case. We feel obliged to give our own opinion in order to relativize some notes we find unfair. Sofie Hildebrandt July 2022: “After having stayed at this hotel every summer for 20 years”, This is not true, because the hotel opened in 2010. Further “the greens are in desperate need of maintenance” maybe in July 2022 but in August 2023 the greens were in a very good stay and very fast. Craig S, July 2023: ” On arrival no one arrived to greet us. We waited for a porter with our bags in the parking area and had to summon attention when the staff were not attending to any guests”. Maybe a special situation; our experience: A porter came immediately on arrival, took our suitcases and golf bags and brought them directly to our room. The lady at the reception was very friendly. SS, July 2023: The all comment is totally unfair. Just an example “the room has strange tvs placed literally like a heartbeat monitor screen in an ER room (not a joke, it’s just truly that odd)”. The TV he mentioned is the small TV near the bed. The room has a bigger screen and “balconies do not face the sea”. Each hotel has different categories of rooms. Our room faced the sea and the view was superb.

driving up the road and arriving to this spectacular futuristic spaceship. what an amazing modern design with minimalism in mind. truly beautiful space not just indoor but the outdoors as well. i have to say the food was very good not just in their main restaurant but especially at the outdoor place at the pool - great place to have lunch with spectacular views. we played golf and having such amazing place to decompress, is fantasy. i would like to send big thank you to the sommelier Luis R. - your personal touch with sharing your knowledge of local wines is very much appreciated. you made our stay that much enjoyable by making our wine tasting experience richer. we would like to thank to golf hotel check in guys for making our golf rounds perfect.
