Staff was very helpful from Day 1 - from luggage assistance to dining and attraction recommendations. Room was clean and spacious enough for a family. Property was well maintained. Housekeeping staff fulfilled requests promptly. Kids enjoyed the pool. Breakfast buffet was excellent with a great variety of food for children and adults alike. We would definitely stay here again.
Our room had just about every amenity we would want, including a refrigerator, a safe, an espresso maker, and a kettle for boiling water. There was a small balcony, and inside there comfortable seating for eating and for working, and both the desk and the bedside tables had USB ports as well as convenient electrical outlets. It was easy to control the bedside and room lights from either side of the large, comfortable bed. We don't use cable entertainment much, but we enjoyed watching the World Cup final in our room.
Our quiet room overlooked the large pool and garden; I enjoyed doing Tai Chi by the pool and did swim once, when I took a day off from tourism and the meeting my wife was attending across the street at the Universidade Catolica.
We paid an extra 50 euros per night for breakfast and access to the executive lounge, where an excellent buffet was presented each day from 17:30 to 19:30. Coffee, beer, wine, and soft drinks were available throughout the day. I have to say that the coffee pods in our room were MUCH better quality than the coffee served in the restaurant or the lounge. We stayed for ten days, and the Marriott restaurant coffee was the only bad coffee I drank in Lisbon. Do they really think no one will notice? The wine served in the lounge was not memorable. The beer was Sangres, the Portuguese national brand; I like dark beer, so I preferred Sangres Preta over Sangres Bock.
