Truly an exceptional stay in all regards. One of the best hotel experiences I have had in my life. Would recommend to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. Expensive, but worth it.

Let me first start off by saying the manager , Daniel, who I met when checking out (apparently he says good bye to all guests) should get manager of the year award. To run a ship this tight takes huge effort and a lot of hard work. Every top hotel in the world should come Let me first start off by saying the manager , Daniel, who I met when checking out (apparently he says good bye to all guests) should get manager of the year award. To run a ship this tight takes huge effort and a lot of hard work. Every top hotel in the world should come train under Daniel. My wife and I are very well traveled and always stay at the finest hotels in the world, but this resort takes customer service to the next level. From housekeeping to pool staff to kitchen staff and chef’s this entire crew is best of the best. Even for kosher travelers (us) they offered us everything from glatt kosher steaks, chicken, to anything else we wanted. They offered new dishes , new pans to only be used for our stay. Never making us feel backward , every staff member knew our restrictions (no clue how even housekeeping knew) and they all were super respectful about it. Even housekeeping , they asked us on Shabbat about turn down service ,(literally came to the pool to ask us) if they can go in, if there were any lights that should be on, or off or keep as is , etc etc. That NEVER happens, anywhere. Huge shout out to chef Jose who made us feel at home with our meals, and taking the time to make sure everything was perfect. Only issue we had, was the mattress , it was wayyy too soft. Like sink in the middle soft. I only found out that they offer some mattress tops to firm it up, when we check out and I mentioned something. They should offer a firm mattress tops just like the pillow menu when guests check in. That’s it, this could be the number one hotel we’ve ever stayed at (and believe me, we’ve stayed at them all) Only regret is not being able to stay another week. We will back.. Thanks to the ENTIRE wonderful amazing staff at the Six Senses Douro Valley !! [...]

We just spent our honeymoon at Six Senses Douro Valley and it could not have been more special. This was my fifth stay at the property, and it remains, in my mind, the only place to stay in the Douro. The team was so kind to us from the moment we arrived. The General Manager We just spent our honeymoon at Six Senses Douro Valley and it could not have been more special. This was my fifth stay at the property, and it remains, in my mind, the only place to stay in the Douro. The team was so kind to us from the moment we arrived. The General Manager personally came out to welcome us, and we were given a lovely upgrade for our honeymoon — small gestures that made us feel truly celebrated. The welcome amenities are always a delight; the kombucha at check-in was fantastic and the cake was delicious. The food deserves a special mention: the salads are incredible and everything is impossibly fresh. And don't miss the visiting practitioners at the spa — they are a real treat and more guests should take advantage of them. If you're considering this hotel for your honeymoon: book it. Honeymooners will not be disappointed. We can't wait to come back. [...]
