Areias do Seixo Hotel

WOWOW! What a special place. After traveling from Lisbon to the Algarve, and Alentejo regions, my wife and I were thrilled to end our trip at Areias do Seixo. This resort blew away the other places we stayed at which included the Ivens Hotel in Lisbon, the Bela Vista Hotel in Algarve, and even the super lux Vila Vita Parc. These other spots were great .. offering luxury accommodations, excellent service, great food and styling .... but none were as unique and truly memorable as Areias do Seixo. Our first choice was to stay in a Tree room but everything was booked but a Townhouse or a Shelter. We opted for the Shelter for a more unique experience, and boy was it the right choice. The Shelters (better described as what they are: Yurts) are so amazing ... so Romantic. They are well appointed with claw foot tubs, large comfy beds, bathrooms with double sinks, a standup shower ... all the bells and whistles ... and a wood burning stove. The resort itself is so special .. it really warms your heart and fills your soul ... but you need to be open to it. The staff is great, the food is incredible (with veggies grown in the hotel's gardens), the facilities are beautiful .. rustic meeting modern perfectly ... the grounds with bluffs and cliffs right at your fingertips are impressive. The lighting at night adds to the attractiveness of the grounds and facilities. If you are looking for a romantic getaway don't miss this special place. It is also great for families ... with plenty for those kiddies if you have them. Note that this is a great spot to stay at while perusing nearby charming towns such as Obidos or Peniche. This is by far one of the most special places we have ever stayed ... and we live in NYC and have travelled quite a bit ... hopefully this review is helpful.
