These benchmarks will allow you to be more consistent and enjoy your swing more.

The hotel's spa facilities are in dire need of renovation. The hammam was closed, and the pool water caused allergies and eye irritation (6 people). The treatment system is in dire need of an upgrade. As a result, we were unable to use the pool. So, in short, no spa access at all.

Hello Marc,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your stay in Porto. We are sorry to hear that the spa facilities did not meet your expectations, particularly with the closure of the hammam and the issues you experienced with the pool water. We completely understand your frustration, especially since these services are part of the amenities offered.

Our local partner confirmed that they were unaware of the pool water issues during your stay. It is regrettable that this situation could not be rectified immediately. However, they assured us that they would take steps to reassess and upgrade the facilities, including the water treatment system.

As stated on your stay page, the golf course is the main activity, and facilities such as the spa and swimming pool are additional services. Nevertheless, we take your comments very seriously and will ensure that this type of inconvenience does not recur in the future.

We hope that you enjoyed your golf course and that we will have the opportunity to offer you a fully satisfying experience during a future stay.

Thank you again for your feedback, which helps us improve our services.

Avoid at all costs. Decathlon's solid reputation for value for money is tarnished by DecatTravel, which here turns it into a sham. The instructor was friendly and competent and did what he could to fill in the gaps in our knowledge, but for us, it wasn't enough. Not by a long shot. One example: the promised free practice balls. Perhaps they should have mentioned that you have to pick them up and clean them yourself! Another: the course is a nightmare. The first nine holes are practically inaccessible without a golf cart, or at the very least an electric trolley. But the golf cart costs an extra €35 per day. Of the four days we had access to the course (three in reality, since on the last day we had to vacate our room and find somewhere else), one day the course was inaccessible until 2 pm due to a competition. No alternative was offered.

The stay was spoiled by bad weather which prevented us from enjoying the golf itself (2 out of 3 GFs were used, one of which was only 9 holes) and all the workshops of the pro who, otherwise, was excellent and did everything to adapt.
An interesting route, very mountainous on the way out, with long sections and steep climbs. The return was more conventional, but still relatively difficult. Unfortunately, the rain prevented us from fully appreciating its dimensions...
The clubhouse restaurant is fine for dinner but seems to discover the demands of golfers at lunchtime, no decent sandwiches available.
Nice hotel, very quiet, breakfast OK. Easy parking at this time of year.
Note that the restaurant is in the clubhouse, a 200-300m walk away. The path is poorly lit. The staff generally only speak Portuguese and are somewhat distant, with the exception of a lady in the pro shop who is perfectly fluent in French and very kind.
