The property itself is absolutely stunning—one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at. The facilities, rooms, food, and overall atmosphere were exceptional. Unfortunately, my experience with some members of the staff left me extremely disappointed. As a Portuguese Canadian visiting from Toronto, my reason for staying at the hotel was to experience being at the same property as the Portugal National Team during the World Cup. Throughout my stay, I made every effort to be respectful of the players, staff, and other guests. I only approached individuals when it was appropriate and always respected their personal space and boundaries. Despite this, I was repeatedly approached by a blonde manager in the lobby and several security staff, who made me feel unwelcome and as though I was doing something wrong simply by being in the lobby. I was instructed multiple times to leave seating areas, including couches and chairs, and was directed to a designated section if I wanted any chance of interacting with players or team staff. One security guard, a woman with her hair in a bun and shaved sides, was particularly confrontational. We were discouraged from walking freely through the lobby, sitting at the bar for a drink, or enjoying the common areas, despite being paying hotel guests. I spent over $2,000 on my room and more than $500 on dinner and drinks during my stay. After spending nearly $3,000 at this property, I expected to be treated with courtesy and respect. Instead, I felt monitored, harassed, and spoken to in a manner that I did not feel was appropriate. I fully understand that the hotel has an obligation to ensure the safety and privacy of its guests, including the Portugal National Team, and I respect that. However, there is a significant difference between maintaining security and making paying guests feel unwelcome. At no point was I disruptive or disrespectful. It’s unfortunate because the hotel itself is beautiful, but the way I was treated by certain members of the management and security team overshadowed what should have been a memorable stay. Based on this experience, I would not choose to stay at this property again.
