United States of AmericaWOW! What a treat for our last few days in Portugal....This hotel has AMAZING views of the beautiful, clear blue Atlantic ocean. It's also sandwiched between two lovely, clean beaches which were both enjoyable although the water is cold! One beach has chairs and an umbrella to rent for 15E as well as a bar/concession stand. The bed was comfy and the water in the fridge is complimentary and restocked. There are bicycles that are free to use, which we did a couple of times. Be aware that this hotel is ~ 10min drive to the center of Cascais, necessitating a taxi ride. We did this several times and were happy to have a varied selection of restaurants in town to chose from.
