  Worst upscale resort in my many, many trips.

  23 Sept 2026

  Arrival was started being locked out of upgraded pool suite. Once in, flies and mosquitoes by the dozens had to be killed. The cookie gift had three flies making a party. The gift bottle of gin was paired with a lime(good thing) and no ice and a tiny tonic water = more frustration than gift. Lighting and quality of furniture lousy. Pool pleasant. Room service dinner arrived late and cold. Wine ordered was brought uncorked, which meant it went down drain as we did not intend to open last evening. Key needed to get past 2nd door delivered 9 p.m. There is more, but I will end with the nose booger that stuck to my hand this morning when I sat on the couch to read. Truly bad experience. Octant Évora, Atendimento ao cliente/recepção at Octant Hotels Evora, responded to this review Hi,We are truly sorry that your stay was such a disappointing experience, the issues you describe, are clearly not the standard we expect to provide.We are particularly concerned about the flies found in the welcome gift and about your dinner arriving late and cold. We also regret the cleanliness issue you experienced in the room.Although we have pest-control measures in place and reinforce them during this season, the number of insects you encountered was clearly unacceptable and we understand how unpleasant this must have been.We also take note of your comments regarding the furniture and lighting. Your feedback will be shared internally with the relevant teams so that these points can be reviewed.We sincerely regret that your overall experience was so far from what you expected.Kind regards,Daniela GrazinaFront Office Manager

  Family friendly not couple friendly

  21 Oct 2025

  We stayed at the Octant Évora. Had I known that it was so dramatically geared towards families I would not have chose this Octant . We have grandchildren so I love families, however my husband and I found ourselves always surrounded by children. We have a villa which was convenient. Although we were told this property opened five years ago the place shows lack of upkeep . For example, one of the sinks had a portion of its counter top missing - it was conspicuous so housekeeping should have been able to alert management. Breakfast was abundant- a typical buffet . The dinner menu had interesting sounding items but the quality was quite mediocre. Housekeeping was wanting in actual attention to usual expected actions . completed. The staff was friendly and eager to accommodate. Octant Évora, General Manager at Octant Hotels Evora, responded to this review Dear Toby,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m truly sorry to know that your stay at Octant Évora didn’t reflect the peaceful and genuine atmosphere we wish all our guests to feel.Octant Évora was created as a place where everyone — couples, families, or solo travellers — can connect with nature and enjoy the rhythm of the Alentejo. Still, we fully understand how the family dynamic might have shaped your perception, and we’re working carefully to create a more balanced experience for all segments, ensuring everyone finds their own space and pace within the hotel.I also regret the maintenance and housekeeping details you mentioned — that’s not the level of care we aim to deliver. Your feedback has already been shared with our teams so we can act on it right away.I’m happy to hear, however, that our people made a positive impression. Their warmth and genuine attention are at the heart of everything we do.Thank you once again for your honesty and generosity in sharing your thoughts. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back soon, and to show you an experience that feels truly effortless, authentic, and in tune with what Octant stands for.Warm regards,Gonçalo FragosoGeneral Manager

  Worlds Best Massage

  17 Oct 2025

  I’ve had massages all over the world, but none compare to the one I received from Liliana at the Évora Hotel, Farm & Spa. I was hesitant about the €149 price for a 90-minute custom massage, but within minutes I realized she’s in a class of her own — precise, intuitive, and deeply skilled.I don’t believe in tipping just because someone does their job, but when service goes above and beyond, I’m more than happy to show my appreciation. Let’s just say my tip was more than the massage — and worth every cent.If Liliana ever works in Los Angeles, I’ll be her first client. Until then, I’ll be flying back to Portugal for another session. Daniela Luís, Guest Services / Front Office at Octant Hotels Evora, responded to this review Dear Robert,Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review!We’re truly delighted to know that your experience at our Spa exceeded your expectations, and especially happy to read your kind words about Liliana. She will be thrilled to know that her dedication and talent made such a lasting impression.We will be here to welcome you back whenever you return to Portugal, ready to ensure your next experience is just as memorable.Warm regards,Daniela LuísGuest Experience Manager

  If you are in Evora this is THE place to stay in

  02 May 2025

  As we stepped into the hotel the scent hit us as if we've experienced it in the past, and pretty soon we found out that they have a hotel in the Azores where we stayed twice...I dont know where to start as everything in this hotel is above expectations. First the service in all hotel areas is great, the entire staff are always smiling and willing to help. our room was fabulous with a balcony to the pool. it is clear that the hotel has an environmental friendly approach which is highly appreciated. there is no plastics in the room and everything looks natural including the least thought things like the tissue box made of cork, tables made of natural wood and even the garbage bins are lined with paper bags. we sampled the restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner and all were very good with abundant dishes to choose from, and once again service was excellent, after overcoming the language barrier, as not all waiters were very fluent in English. We took a wine tasting session in the newly created enoteca. the room itself is beautiful with shelves of wine bottles covering the walls. Renato who guided us through the tasting was very knowledgeable and friendly letting us enjoy the wine. they serve a nice plate with cheeses and charcuterie which was also nice. the thing we also appreciated was that they let us take one bottle from the tasting to dinner with us at no extra cost.and lastly, the hotel sits in a beautiful area with a big reserve on premise. the reserve has many trails to walk and enjoy nature, a beautiful lake and many places to sit and admire nature Daniela Luís, Guest Services / Front Office at Octant Hotels Evora, responded to this review Dear Amnon,Thank you very much for choosing Octant Évora for a few days in our Alentejo! It was our pleasure to have you!We are delighted to read that we were able to make your stay so special and we would like to thank you for your kind comments, which are so important to us. Thank you very much for the careful, friendly and attentive way in which you shared your feedback about our services, the Enoteca, our team and experiences. It makes us genuinely happy to know that the Octant essence provided a happy and peaceful stay and that it allowed you to disconnect from the rush of everyday life.It will be a pleasure to welcome you back again!Best regards,Daniela LuísGuest Experience Manager

  Alluring Alentejo

  18 Apr 2025

  The Octant Évora was the highlight of our two-week trip to Portugal. The setting alone - looking out over the fields of the Alentejo would have been enough but together with the amazing room (we stayed in a two-bedroom villa) and the delicious food (vegetarian friendly) it knocked our expectations out of the park. Travelling with a toddler was also a breeze as the hotel and staff were geared up to support every step of the way. Daniela Luís, Guest Services / Front Office at Octant Hotels Evora, responded to this review Dear Islander_addict,Thank you for your kind words and for sharing such a lovely review of your stay with us. We’re truly delighted to know that your time in the Alentejo was the highlight of your journey through Portugal, and that we contributed to such a memorable experience. It makes us genuinely happy to know that the Octant essence provided a happy and peaceful stay and that it allowed you to disconnect from the rush of everyday life.We hope to welcome you back soon for another chapter of slow living in the Alentejo.See you soon!Kind Regards,Daniela Luís
