Semisch Bucket List Trip
Portugal

Jul 1 - Jul 8, 2025
Carlos was amazing driver to Sentra. Busy palace and town but we escaped to the beach for lunch.
Ricardo was great. I wish he would have had water in the van. We were for many hours to Porto and Douro with no water. Other than that he made great suggestions and was a great guy during our time. So helpful.
Knowing in advance we had a kitchen would have been great info to share. We had no hot water on night 1 in Porto until 11:30 pm.
The Pine Cliffs resort was so BIG and our room clear at front gate. Everything was a bit overwhelming. Maybe in future we would choose a smaller hotel. Was not aware we needed to make a reservation for dinner and wound up eating so late because all restaurants were booked. So many young children.
All in all we loved our expeditions and seeing this beautiful country. Thank you
Hotel Reviews
No hot water day 1 but was corrected late into the evening. The garden was fabulous and rooms very clean. We were on the top floor so lots of stairs. Be prepared

Hotel is gigantic and a bit overwhelming. Need reservations for dinner well in advance but need to know this. Lots of children! Young kids and babies. Very family friendly but as a family with older children we were looking for a bit more relaxing feel. Our room was very nice but way at front near exit. Would have predatory be closer to everything.
Activity Reviews
Do not recommend. Not authentic and cobblestones made for uncomfortable ride.
Sintra was beautiful. Must see but be prepared for long lines
