Praia D’El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort is an exceptional accommodation to enjoy the on-site courses of Praia D’El Rey and West Cliffs, two of Lisbon’s finest layouts.
Everything went well. Our transportation individuals were great. Especially Pedro and Bruno in Lisbon. The trip to Seville was great and the girls really enjoyed Sintra.
The golf in southern Portugal was good but the courses north of Lisbon were really great! Reminded me of Bandon Dunes. West Cliffs was especially fun.
We knew the weather and food was going to be great, but we were most pleasantly surprised with the nice courses we played each day around Lisbon. Our favorite was Dunas, but Oitavos Dunes, West Cliffs and Penha Longa were close seconds. Because we are getting older, having carts each day was a treat also. We are planning to go back in 2025 and add in The Algarve and stay longer next time. Thank you Premier Golf for the arrangements – you made it easy for us!
