  Great 3 BR 3 BA Apartment overlooking the sea

  18 Oct 2025

  Great location overlooking the ocean, beach and golf course. Nice 3 BR 3BA simply furnished. Bathrooms nice although difficult to dry towels. Eg no desk/ chair or vanity / table of any kind in the large bedroom downstairs. Nice kitchen well equipped ( washer dryer for example). Lower BR smelled damp. Full buffet Breakfast provided in nearby restaurant. Good customer service.

  Disappointing stay despite friendly Mare staff – poor food variety, weak cleaning, and inflexible customer service

  30 Jun 2025

  I stayed at The Beachfront for 13 days. The location is very nice and the view is beautiful. The staff at the Mare restaurant were very friendly and kind. We felt welcome every day.But the food was not good. Every day it was the same. The choice was very small. The scrambled eggs tasted like powder, and nothing changed during our whole stay.The housekeeping service was also weak. The floor was always dirty with sand, and they didn’t clean it well. We felt sand under our feet all the time.Some equipment in the room was broken and not fixed. Also, the staff in the Club House restaurant were not nice. They were rude and didn’t want to help.Another problem was the customer service. There was no flexibility. When we asked for small changes or help, the answer was usually “no” without trying to find a solution.I liked the beach and the Mare staff, but the hotel needs to improve cleaning, food quality, customer service, and the attitude of some employees.

  First Class stay and play

  21 Oct 2023

  Great place to stay and play. Rather strange approach for 10 miles before reaching resort, very much in the "outback" (you think you are lost) with rather a dodgy road. Arrived to a very large complex with hundreds of villas and apartment. Checked in at Hotel and escorted to our Beachfront apartment. Clean, modern equipment. Amazing location just above the swimming pool and view over the sea - stunning. You need a car even a three minutes drive to a full Breakfast every morning, all included. Arrangements at Golf Courses first class, clean buggies, lovely clubhouses with good lunch food at reasonable prices. We have played a lot of good courses these (Praia del rey, West Cliffs and Royal Obidos) were first class. Very challenging for handicaps 10 - 16, mostly on the coast, stunning views and in good condition, greens very good. Overall an excellent experience for 4 golfers in a 2 bed apartment and cheaper than the Algarve and not as busy. You need a car to nearby restuarants (most are generally very Portugese mainly in Peneche). Had a day in Lisbon - beutiful city (recommended).Overall highly recommened.

  Don't promise what you can't deliver

  16 Oct 2022

  We stayed as a party of 28 golfers from Friday 7th October to Tuesday11th most in 3bed apt and one group in a 2bed. The apt were very spacious having a good size kitchen and living room as you enter with a balcony with wonderful views overlooking the beach and ocean All rooms had there own bathrooms with the downstairs room being the largest with a bath and shower combined and also a balcony. Only downside of the 3bed apartments we had confirmed all twin beds in each room this was not the case and after some discussions they agreed to put another single bed in 3 of our apts at first with an extra charge then this was later rescinded. There was room cleaning on the second day to replenish towel and toiletries and the beds were comfortable. We were right next to the supermarket where we could get our supplies of food and drink. Also next to this was the Mare Restaurant where we expected to have breakfast before playing golf unfortunately this had been closed meaning we had to organize the shuttle buses to take us to the clubhouse restaurant about a 1.4miles away for breakfast then again to get to golf. Not sure who is responsible for the shuttle buses either the Marriott hotel themselves or the resort management that are responsible for the apartments as this was a complete shambles which caused untold stress to anyone staying at the beachfront and village trying to get down firstly to breakfast as only 1 driver turned up after the prearranged 07.30am pickup time mostly late and over 48 golfers waiting forced us to walk and carry our clubs otherwise as they only carry 8 persons we would not make our tee times. At the busiest time of the year they compound the already inadequate amount of Shuttle buses by closing the Mare restaurant forcing everyone to the clubhouse. It happened both day and evening with no help from the resort staff except to say we should complain to the director as he is responsible for the shuttle bus company. Whoever is responsible for shuttle buses be the Hotel Management or the resort Management have ruined what should have been a memorable stay into a chaotic frenzy of unneeded stress with their inconsiderate actions. If we had known the restaurant was closed and the shuttle bus service was deplorable, we would have stayed in the hotel itself and got our travel agent to organize private shuttles or took our custom elsewhere where it would be appreciated Resort Reception, Serviços ao cliente/atendimento at The Beachfront - Praia D'el Rey Golf & Beach Resort, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay.

  Lovely 2 bed apartment

  15 Mar 2022

  Stayed in the apartment for 4 nights during our golfing trip. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms - very spacious with balcony overlooking pool which was restricted to apartments overlooking the pool. Unfortunately were not able to use the pool due to the weather. Cleanliness good with good supply of kitchens utensils should you decide to eat within the apartment. We did this one night. Used the hotel for one breakfast and 2 dinners within the clubhouse. Fair selection for all courses. Service good and staff courteous.
