Quinta Da Comporta - Wellness Boutique Resort, an SLH Hotel

Please PLEASE save your money. this hotel is a complete scam and not up to 5-star standards. i have never in my life left a review before but feel the need to warn people that this is insanely overpriced and not what it claims to be. we don’t go on these kinds of trips very often, saved to come here, and were totally let down :(. it claims to be a “wellness” boutique hotel but you don’t receive ANY wellness benefits and it’s genuinely a daycare. there were more guests under 10 years old than over… not an exaggeration they completely cater this place to children. the spa (even though online it says explicitly that it is for guests 16+) is practically a public pool because children are in there jumping and playing. you will be waiting for a turn in the sauna behind a 6 year old playing in it (no seriously). they literally have a foosball table by the restaurant bathrooms to keep children entertained, the outdoor “famous infinity pool” literally has a children’s end (which cmon it’s not regulated that way)… they don’t say this but it is entirely for wealthy families and they don’t care about accommodating anybody else we let them know we were really surprised about the children being allowed in the spa and they essentially said that it’s a “family hotel” and the kids need somewhere to be when the outdoor pool is cold. let me know where it says that on their website despite marketing themselves as a boutique WELLNESS hotel. you also receive 0 benefits - morning yoga is 20 euros pp (i’ve NEVER seen that even at lesser starred hotels let alone 5 star) and since the spa is a water park, where is the wellness? in the 200 euro massage i need to pay for in addition? everything is paid for, the bikes, the classes, (don’t even get me started on the food, but other reviews have covered this lol) our room was also completely falling apart, i’ll attach some photos below but both our patio chairs were broken with screws poking out, lamps detaching from walls, etc. the staff here are really wonderful and none of this is their fault at all. our service from the receptionists, hospitality workers, restaurant workers, etc. was all great - it’s the managers and owners. they didn’t listen to our concerns and are fraudulently marketing this place. i anticipate that its vision was to compete with sublime and be a natural wellness hotel, but they realized they make way more money being an elite family playpen. make this explicit or adequately compensate unhappy guests. when we let them know we were having trouble with our stay, she didn’t offer us anything besides the *opportunity* to leave early and not be charged for the last night. she genuinely ushered us out the door and asked us twice when we were leaving even after we said we were leaving within the hour - we weren’t even allowed to sit in the lounge while we waited for our car to be ready, she was literally standing in the doorway i know it probably sounds like we karen-ed out but i promise we just aske

Overpriced, Not Relaxing, Only care about guests with large families This establishment is not a 5-star resort and their website is misleading. The rooms were falling apart and the property has not been maintained. If you have kids it may be nice but if you are looking for a relaxing spa experience (like advertised) look elsewhere. Even the spa was overrun by children. We brought up multiple issues and they basically told us to leave early or suck it up. When we said we would leave early they wasted no time and said we need to leave within the hour. Horrible experience. Horrible management. Horrible hotel.

Great location, beautiful views, impressive decoration…but STOP ! Avoid the restaurant. See the photo. At 12e a kilo, worth less than 1 euro as a main dish. Mark up is x 18 ! Service is good but dishes quality dropped so low that it became a TOTAL tourist TRAP. So pass your way and go to Sublime ❤️

Even though on the outskirts of the small village of Carvalhal, Quinta da Comporta is a remarkably tranquil and peaceful resort on the edge of a rice plantation. Whilst set back a kilometre from the beach it had a very coastal feel. The accommodation is stunning. Our two floor Villa had Terrace and balconies front and rear with an outlook over a sand covered coastal landscaped area with grasses and olive trees. The glass pool is unique and all the amenities and fittings selected, maintaining the rural and uncommercialised atmosphere. The staff are all young, enthusiastic and helpful. A special ‘shout out’ to the pool guys and Valet parking guys who all went beyond the call of duty Comporta is a very interesting area but one fears for how it will be in 5-10 years. It is certainly a lot more expensive than average Portugal. The only small disappointment was the beach. Due to limited access points ( to preserve the dunes) it was quite urbanised around the beach accesses. I was expecting miles of empty golden sand. However the beaches did not seem better than Algarve beaches which also enjoy miles of golden sand.

We stayed for 4 nights at Quinta da Comporta in room 4B. The resort is beautifully located with rice fields visible from the restaurant terrace and includes a nice spa club. The room was very spacious and well designed, the bed extremely comfortable and the terrace very nice. The bathroom was large with private shower, private toilet, bath tube and 2 sinks. The toiletries were numerous. The mini bar was included in the price. Spa massages were quite good. The restaurant food was somehow improvised and not what we expected from a 5 star resort. The service was good. There is an outdoor swimming pool, even though there are quite a few children (ages between 0 - 11 years old).
