We had a WONDERFUL stay at Arribas Sintra Hotel. The sound of waves on the beach was so soothing. The buffet breakfast was delicious, The staff were well-trained, polite and courteous and friendly. The place was clean and modern with an awesome veranda overlooking the ginormous pool. We loved the pool, lukewarm and clean and gorgeous. The beds were the best of this vacation. The food in the resraurant was great. Memorable stay in every way. We taxied into Sintra for a tuk-tuk tour, but the beach was its own reward. We'd love to come back. Most highly recommended.
