It was a place wher I spent par of my childhood and my parents still go there for lunch, specially in summer. James Bond's Casino Royal was filmed there and and Ian Flemming lived there when he was writing Casino Royal and was servicing the British Intelligence Service..Everything used to be glamorous. I had not been there for a long time and it was a shock.They have been into major renovation works. They simply don't fit. The bar is just sinister, the previous rooms between the main hall and the dining room have just an awful, neon like, light and have horrible chairs for "events". The food lost all its prvious "palace splendor" and it is very, very average. How can one destroy a mythical place, full of history? A crime and a shame

LOCATION of the hotel is excellent, with a nice garden & pool. Situated close to the sea and also public transportation (easy train ride to Lis.), in walking distance from Cascais (nice beachwalk).
STAFF, especially senior staff and housekeeping provide an excellent job. BF team is very busy and takes care of the clients wishes.
ROOMS are tired and show some minor technical problems (which were solved by a friendly team of 2 workers).
RESTAURANT, having been a fan of the Four Seasons Grill we were disapointed last year .... so skipped the dinner here this time.
GOLF COURSE: belongs to the hotel, 5 minutes drive (free shuttle), the GC is very busy and "overcrowded", looooong rounds.... a lot of positive maintenance work was done and the greenkeeper team did a good job removing rotten trees, trash etc
Very friendly staff at the GC desk.
BANYAN TREE SPA is a great place to relax and swimm.
PARKING, plenty of free parking at the HP.
BAR, great choice of drinks, authentic ambience, great service.
GUESTS are mostly elderly/senior golfplayers and people attending conferences in the nearby Estoril Casino convention centre.
