Originally booked for Villa Cascais but due to a plumbing prob week before our check in, they booked us with their sister hotel Albatroz. They were very kind to find us accommodations. Some hotels, I am Sure, might not do this. We had a deluxe sea view suite. They booked us in the Palace room across the street. They did offer a room in the building right next to main hotel, which we decided the Palace might be quieter. PROS: Palace room and building were beautiful. Great A/C. Beautiful view of the beach. Had private building concierge. Fantastic deck and I think we may have been only ones in building!!! All the staff, from the front desk to the restaurant, were wonderful. Close to everything in Cascais. Breakfast was fantastic. DRAWBACKS: (dont like the word CONS). The Palace was right next to train station so could hear the announcer frequently. As well as the early morning street sweepers, etc. I am an early riser,but others may not be. It was very warm during our visit and we enjoyed people watching on the beach. But on our 2nd night, a group of people decided to have a party around midnight to 2 - 3 a.m. outside our window. Even when we closed the windows, it was loud. I am sure this does not happen all the time. I would definitely stay here again, but would not choose the Palace building because of my lists. And even with the noise, we survived since we were in Portugal!!!! I know there are other choices along the beach area, but we walked it and this place is truly the best.
Excellent
