Spatia Comporta

Nice place. Charming simple rooms. Lovely staff. This comporta area is beautiful to get away and really enjoy nature and drive out to the beach bars. About a 20 minute drive to get to the beach. One awful thing was that the hotel had overflowing garbage dumpsters and litter on their road. I run 5km run evey day and had to run by this awful sight every morning. I mentioned it to staff several times, but after 4 days, the hotel still had not cleaned any of it up it up. Talk about no attention to detail. This was really sad to see. We travel to these special places and pay premium prices to enjoy unspoiled nature. This Comporta area is really special - we were stunned to see all this garbage everytime we drove in and out from the hotel. Very shoddy.

Quiet and spacious, this large property is set among the sand and pines of western Alentejo. It is an oasis of beauty and refined tranquility - a gorgeous setting which is yet very close to the coast. The wonderful staff is warm, inviting and professional. We felt pampered throughout our stay, which was full of delightful touches that were so thoughtful. Dining was excellent - we had breakfast and dinner both days - and our dietary preferences were accommodated with inventive and delicious alternatives. The options are varied, as is the superb wine list. We had a fantastic time and hope to return soon. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic weekend stay at this beautiful hotel. The room was lovely, and we were very impressed with the quality of service throughout our visit. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Definitely we'll be back!

This place is a true gem. Beautiful scenery in the middle of the woods, nice rooms, very kind staff. The breakfast is, I would say, whatever I could wish for. Great variety and freshness. The pool at Colmo is huge. What I noticed is that the part that was build first somehow lags behind. I could feel it even from the lights during the night. We have stayed in the older part at it was darker and somehow maybe less attention to details then in the new part. Otherwise, we had great 3 days here and we would come back anytime!

Spatia is a nice place. We stayed in a cabana which was very nicely built and furnished, very comfortable spacious and cool. There is a nice pool which when we were there was not crowded (although we didn't spend very much time there) and a couple of tennis/padel courts. It is situated in a fragrant and lovely grove of pine trees and it is very peaceful and calm. Points I would make for potential visitors - “Comporta” is a large and scattered area. This property is kind of far from everything. Comporta village is 20 minutes drive and Carvalhal (closest beach) is also 20 minutes drive. Whilst 20 minutes isn’t that far, if you want to go to the beach, come back and shower and then go out for dinner you are talking about way over an hour in the car just going back and forth. The hotel does run shuttles to and from the beach but I would highly recommend hiring a car. If you want to spend a lot of time on the property, or go to the beach then eat in the hotel then that’s fine (and there are a lot of young families staying who seem to do just that). There is a restaurant onsite which is perfectly decent - we however like to eat in different local Portuguese restaurants. Second - there is no gym or spa - apparently there is a wellness centre under construction. Third - the people working there are absolutely lovely and helpful but service is all a bit variable at best - slightly chaotic breakfast service for example. This is just a matter of training and organisation (so it’s really a leadership/management issue, not the individuals themselves)

Spatia Comporta largely exceeded our expectations. We immediately fell in love with the property and its concept; everything was perfect. It was quiet, silent, peaceful and extremely beautiful. We will surely come back again and again and again! Congratulations, Spatia!
