WHY CHOOSE THE BEACHFRONT AT PRAIA D'EL REY?

• Designed to maximise the stunning ocean views
• High quality contemporary and very spacious accommodation
• Condominium pool, fitness room and restaurant
• Kids’ club, tennis, golf, spa available on the resort (supplement applies)
• Further restaurants at the Marriott hotel and golf clubhouse

BEST FOR:
Ideal for families who want access to superb west coast beaches of ‘real’ Portugal. There are wonderful beaches to suit all ages from the surf breaks of Praia D’El Rey itself to the child-friendly sandy coves of Obidos Lagoon. For younger kids there is the option of using the Kids’ Club at the Marriott Hotel on the resort.

Surfers will love the waves of Praia D’El Rey and the beaches around Peniche, with September and October being the best months.

Praia D’El Rey is perfect outside July & August for golfing or golf & spa breaks for couples and friends.  

SUITABILITY FOR:

• Toddlers - cot & high chair can be rented. Playground at the resort and Kids' Club. NB The local beach features strong surf but there are great beaches for children at Obidos Lagoon (10 mins’ drive) and Baleal (20 mins’ drive).
• Teenagers – surfing beach on your doorstep plus tennis and golf but it’s quiet in the evenings
• Reduced mobility – not suitable to due to the number of steps

ANYTHING TO WATCH OUT FOR?

• Car is essential for supermarket trips, local restaurants and exploring the area
• The local beach is supervised but care should be taken in the surf
• The resort mini-market is basic and is really only suitable for 'emergency' purchases (nearest mini-market is Serra del Rei 15 mins’ drive and Peniche supermarket is 20 mins by car).

WHY CHOOSE THE OBIDOS COAST?
From Consolacao and Supertubos at Peniche through Baleal and Praia D’El Rey to the sandy shores of the Obidos lagoon, here you will find a string of stunning beaches. Surfers will appreciate the waves either side of the Peniche headland, whilst younger families can enjoy the calmer waters offered by the lagoon at Obidos or try some body-boarding at Baleal.

This is a coastline for those who love Portugal but who don’t the crowds and commercialisation of the Algarve. As well as summer days on the beach, there’s a variety of day trips on offer such as:

• historic walled town of Obidos - 30 mins by car
• horse shoe bay beach of Sao Martinho do Porto – 45 mins by car
• Nazare beach, home of the boggest wave ever surfed – 50 mins by car

At the heart of Praia D’El Rey is the Marriot Hotel and its restaurants, gym, spa and championship golf course. The resort stretches 5 km north-to-south and The Beachfront development is found at the northern limits of the resort. You will need a car to reach the golf clubhouse and hotel facilities – or hire bikes at the resort or, in summer, there is a free shuttle bus.

Service: Product:

Service: The organisation was easy to work with and the whole booking went smoothly, with good communication between us.

Product: The positives: the sea view, which, from the balcony, was absolutely sensational; the sound of the mighty sea; two great, child-friendly paddling beaches 15 and 30 min away respectively by car; a mini-supermarket two min walk from the townhouse; a fish restaurant above the mini-supermarket; having mostly Portuguese holiday makers around us; very relaxed atmosphere; takeaways available from the golf reception area; friendly staff throughout; some sunshine to remember. The negatives: the townhouse - there were two sets of staggered townhouses. The one we stayed in was next to a townhouse whose living room and balcony was next to one of our two bedrooms. The people next door were Portuguese who owned their townhouse. Portuguese have a typical Mediterranean life style in that they are up until very late, often until 2 am, including children and sleeping on the balcony despite the often chilly conditions. We were therefore disturbed for most of our 10 night stay; mostly windy, rainy, misty and cold weather throughout the stay (from third week in August); ice-cold swimming pool, as it wasn't heated; beach for surfers only and not swimming as the current is too strong; half hour journeys by car to any supermarket; very expensive use of the indoor/outdoor swimming pools at Marriott Hotel (10 min by car), who charged up to 50 Euros for two adults and one child, including swim caps (can`t go without one) for one day`s stay; the kids' club at the same Marriott Hotel's, which wasn't exactly next door and user friendly; the area is suitable for people who want to play golf, and not aimed towards children (we had a 7-year old with absolutely no other children to play with); and no commercial shops as a tourist to go browsing in. As you can, in our case, the negatives outweighs the positives. For someone else, maybe it's the other way, especially if you are a golfer or a dedicated surfer.

Service: Product:

Service: The house was very nice but dome things need attention - particularly the outside table is disintegrating! There should be a sun shade for the balconies. Rather limited supply of serving bowls in the kitchen.

Product: As previous needs attention in some areas
