Hello,
We stayed 3 nights and had to change rooms 4 times, with the last one still being dirty. The first room had a wet spot under the blanket, which turned out to be urine. They upgraded us, but the second room was too noisy, the third wasn’t on the ground floor as booked, and the fourth, while quiet, wasn’t properly prepared.
The pool was small for the size of the property, with no indoor pool or heating. The spa lacked bathrobes, and the one in our room had ripped pockets. The coffee machine in the room was unstable, leading to an unsafe accident. Housekeeping only came at 6 pm on our second day.
Our couple’s massage was ruined by noise from heavy lifting in the next room. The thermal area was disappointing with just warm pools instead of hot and cold. The breakfast was low-quality, with machine-made cappuccino, even when ordered from the waiter.
The fees for sauna access and slow, unstable internet were ridiculous. Overall, the experience was awful and ruined our 3 days in Portugal during our first visit. This was far from a 5-star experience, though the front desk staff was good at problem-solving. However, this stay has made me reconsider Marriott for future trips.
