Reviews of Cocoon Eco Design Lodges

Enviroment

Always use the car

In the middle of nowhere

Not hire car friendly 😊

The location in the nature and the window that offers an astonishing view into the forrest while laying in Bed:)

With my Fiat 500 was the Way from the Street to the resort (about 4 km) a little challenge, this could have been mentioned

We liked to be in the middle of the nature, this is what we were looking for.

No charger for electric car, wifi quite weak, and the host should really provide some appliances against mosquitoes because the place was infested. the first night, i kept on killing some till 2 am. The next day, we had to travel to Grandola to find some and sleep comfortably without being attacked every 5 min.

A nice and quiet place

This location is very rural and remote, we knew this at the time of booking but unfortunately we could not a hire car so had to arrive by Uber. This property really requires a car as there is no way of accessing local amenities or shops and there is nothing on site. The nature is beautiful and the staff are very helpful, however is was very tricky to stay here without a car! which was absolutely our fault.

We could not work the aircon and Portugal was experiencing a heatwave for spring so it was unseasonably hot - because of the natural location there where alot of flies and mosquitoes so we had to stay inside with the doors and windows closed which made it quite stuffy at night.

Nature integracion and location

Could be better maintained

Everything. The bungalow is comfortable and has everything needed. Love the natural swimming pool. To add up the staff are very friendly, professional and always willing to provide the best experience. I simple love it and will return for sure. Was a great break from the “concrete jungle” 🙂

N/A

Quiet and very relaxing: even though secluded we felt safe. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable and clean room.

Formigas no lodge

Quiet lodge in the middle of the woods but close to everything (<20min). Not a hotel (which is clearly stated on their website) so don't expect amenities or services, just a clean small 1bedroom apartment with a balcony. And the road, despite being dirt, is very doable and quick, not an issue to me. Lastly, mosquitos did not bother me at all, they only come at night, and it's common in the region. I had dinner at Quinta da Comporta, a fancy hotel, and was eaten by bugs when the sun came down.

It's very well done and still in a good condition but we can notice the lodge is starting to look a bit tired. Not critical though.

amazing scenery, cool space, really well equipped and arranged, super relaxing

Nothing, only one improvement would be the bikes as they all had flat tyres, broken seats etc but I didn’t realise they were available until I arrived so all good since we weren’t expecting them

magic place, beautiful scenery, super peaceful, relaxing and quiet. it is a wonderful place to come with as a couple, friends or family. the house has everything you need, the kitchen is perfect for cooking. we have 2 children and we prepared all our meals with no problem.

not much. maybe the bathroom should have a better light. but thats it.
