Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Golf Mar

The idyllic location—on a rise with absolutely breathtaking views of the ocean, the nearby cliffs, and a lush green valley—is by far the best thing about this hotel near the town of Lourinhã, 16 km (10 miles) northwest of Torres Vedras. The building itself is plain but makes up for it with its position (rooms with a sea view cost extra) and a wide variety of facilities, such as large indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, and a spa. Despite the name, there is no longer a full-size golf course here, but down the hill behind the hotel are a riding center and a kids club, with everything from trampolines and inflatable slides to traditional games and a miniature golf course, with prices by the hour or the day.
