Beautiful Hotel/Palace

We had a great stay with our son. The extra bed made the room a little crowded but we weren’t in the room long enough that it was a problem. The hotel is beautiful with plenty of places to hang out and enjoy each other’s company. The staff was super helpful and so nice. It was too far to walk to the city center for the taxi was only €10 for 3 people, and the hotel staff called for us. We never had to wait more than 10 minutes more the taxi.

We are extremely disappointed with our experience at this property. We booked this hotel for our last day of our trip before returning back to Canada, and it was to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. After a 3 hour drive, we were looking forward to a nice relaxing evening at this hotel. Unfortunately, our expectations were not met. As we got to the door, we were greeted poorly - felt judged for being in comfortable attire. The front desk personnel were somewhat friendly. The young woman’s Portuguese seemed to be very poor, so we spoke to her in English instead and this is also because she overheard my daughter and I speaking English. We asked about the restaurant services and if we required a reservation. We were told that we “could.” To our surprise, when we called to make a reservation, just in case, for my daughter’s birthday, the restaurant was FULL! When we got to the room, there was a loud noise coming from the vents. We called it in and were advised that someone would come to check on the issue. We had decided to go for a walk around the property. Upon our return, the noise was still there. We went to reception to ask again about someone checking the vent for us - no one ever came. As a high end property, we expected high value service. There was no acknowledgment of my daughter’s birthday. Paying attention to small details is important, especially when your customers are paying over $300. We were hoping for a better experience and a better sleep. Very disappointing.

Overbooked and under staffed. Exterior Architecture is beautiful, some of the interior especially the rooms are very outdated. Stay in the main part of the hotel may be a bit better. The shower was disappointing, low pressure and hard to get your whole body under the head. No conditioner provided.
