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.

From the first encounter with the staff at check-in, our experience at Spatia Comporta was nothing short of wonderful! Ana and her staff are some of the most welcoming, thoughtful and accommodating personnel I have had the pleasure to know. They upgraded our room to a cabana which was a wonderful surprise! Little touches like a cheeseboard, bottle of champagne and slice of cake at check-in in celebration of my husband's birthday, a minibar whose contents are offered at no charge and a private firepit with marshmallows in the evening make guests at Spatia feel special and appreciated. Ana was always responsive and helpful in providing restaurant and beach suggestions and accommodated a late check out for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing, calming beach vibe of the resort. The pools are gorgeous and they offer bikes and tennis and pickleball equipment for guests' use. We will enthusiastically recommend Spatia Comporta to our friends and hope to return someday soon.

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!

The hotel is a splendid and expansive complex, boasting numerous outdoor pools that offer a refreshing retreat for guests. The staff members are exceptionally courteous and kind, ensuring a pleasant stay for all visitors. The breakfast provided is of exceptional quality, offering a delightful start to the day. However, it is my humble suggestion that the hotel could enhance its offerings by incorporating additional amenities such as a spa, gym facilities, and a variety of restaurants to cater to the diverse preferences of its esteemed guests.

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)
