Our 6 night stay at Onyria Marinha was very enjoyable. The villa (2 bedrooms) was spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. My husband, mom, and I thoroughly enjoyed our spa time, and the dinner at the hotel was a fantastic surprise - absolutely delicious! I even asked the waiter to thank the chef on our behalf. Since this wasn’t peak season (we intentionally travel during off-peak times to avoid crowds), our overall experience was even better. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here in April and loved it. We intended to stay here for 2 nights, and extended for an extra 2 nights. Yes this hotel is family oriented and that's why I loved it. I appreciated the focus on my child, instead of making me feel like my child is an inconvenience. There's a large play park for kids as well as activities throughout the day for our little guy. I appreciated the daycare service offered that we were able to include in our stay so that we can have alone time as parents. Breakfast was great, no complaints. The property is very clean, cared for and maintained very well. The staff is very attentive and helpful. A nice little touch was the personalized room keys and toothbrush we received upon checking in. Would recommend staying here when in Cascais and will definitely be back.

My partner and I recently stayed at the Onyria Marinha Boutique Hotel for four nights for our 6 year anniversary, and while the location and some aspects of our stay were pleasant, the overall experience left much to be desired—especially for a 5-star establishment. Room: The room was fairly clean, although we found a dirty kettle, and it was missing an iron. The lighting features were nice, but the TV/remote was occasionally unresponsive. The bed was very comfortable, and the view was decent. Unfortunately, the room wasn’t prepared upon our arrival. While the flowers were there as promised, the champagne and strawberries, which were part of our package, arrived much later. To top it off, we found a review card left behind by the previous guests, detailing similar issues. It was a disappointing start. Service: The front desk service was chaotic and disorganized. They seemed unaware of the details of our package, including the champagne and strawberries. At first, they suggested I “check by the TV” for the missing items, and later claimed they didn’t want the ice to melt, even though we waited an extra 5-10 minutes for our room to be ready after check-in. Breakfast in bed was included as part of our package, but on the second day, we were told that this was only valid for one morning—until we contacted the manager of their sister hotel to confirm our full four-day package. Even then, we were almost charged for room service during breakfast on one occasion. The front desk staff were dismissive, and they never inquired about our stay or offered any final accommodations when we checked out. On the last day, despite arranging late checkout in advance, we received a call asking us to confirm our checkout time, adding to the feeling of disorganization. Staff: While the front desk was disappointing, the bar, restaurant, and spa staff were fantastic. They were friendly, conversational, and made us feel welcome. A special shoutout to the bartender, who made a delicious sangria and shared the recipe with us! Although we had some issues with spa access (the hotel didn’t have our complimentary access on file), the spa staff kindly allowed us entry, for which we were grateful. Amenities: The gym is small but functional, and the pools were nice, though we were surprised to find that drinks weren’t allowed by the boutique poolside. The breakfast was decent, though they forgot to bring butter one morning, and the fruit selection was inconsistent. The spa facilities were great—complete with a sauna, steam room, hot tub, and indoor/outdoor pools. Location: The location of the hotel was one of the highlights. The setting is serene and surrounded by greenery, perfect for a peaceful getaway. It’s about 10-15 minutes by car to the more touristy and commercial parts of Cascais, which we didn’t mind. Dining: Bar food was just okay, but the restaurant really stood out. We especially loved the T-bone steak, which was perfectly prepared. Value for Money: Unfortunately, we didn’t feel like the hotel lived up to its 5-star rating, especially given the service issues. While it’s affordable compared to other luxury hotels, the service we received was closer to that of a 3- or 4-star experience. Recommendation: I would recommend this hotel for short stays or casual trips, but not for special occasions like anniversaries. The management communication and overall hospitality need serious improvement to match the luxurious setting and reputation of the hotel. Other Issues: Housekeeping comes very early (around 9 AM), which felt disruptive. Additionally, the management’s lack of communication, especially regarding specialized packages, made for an inconsistent and frustrating stay.

I love this hotel. The atmosphere and location was absolutely gorgoues. It was so peaceful to sit on the balcony and listen to the running water. My only issue would be the breakfast and the check out process. The breakfast was suppar for a 5-star hotel. I expected alot more. Watery eggs and rubbery bacon is not my idea of a gourmet breakfast. During check out, my card was ran three times. I was told it would be reversed. It was not. I had to call the hotel from the US to get the issue corrected. That was not fun. But, if I decide to return to Portugal, I will definitely stay at this hotel again. Edit: I left the hotel a week ago and I am still fighting with them about the charge on my card. I was charged the same amount for room service I ordered only once on two different cards. When the clerk at the front ran my card the first time the charge was not authorized. He tried it again and it still was denied. I present another card and the charged was approved. However, the second charge on the first card was not reversed and it went through. So now, I have two charges and the hotel is fighting with me to remove it. I am going to have to dispute the charge with my bank and let them fight the hotel. So frustrating. I WILL NOT REPEAT THIS MISTAKE AND STAY AT THIS HOTEL AGAIN!!!!!!!

Nice rooms, big pools, good breakfast, friendly staff. With a big parking in a calm area close to the vibrant Cascais. But, main focus on families with children. We would definitely come back.
