Four Points by Sheraton Sesimbra

This is a tricky one. The rooms aren't great. The one we ended up in needed renovations. It had grimy, water damaged baseboards. The shower caulking needed to be cleaned or replaced. The water was never hot, sometimes lukewarm. The hair dryer was weirdly sticky and old. We reserved a "superior" room with a balcony through Expedia, but when we checked in, we were utterly dismayed. The room was in very poor condition and felt a bit like a room in a frat house. The first thing we noticed was the floor, which was chipped and damaged. The bathroom was grim and depressing. Overall, the room was in poor condition, and the "balcony" was actually an impersonal space shared with other rooms that overlooked nothing. Maybe this would have been acceptable if the room had been described as "basic" or "economy" when we booked, but "superior" suggests something much nicer. We immediately returned to reception after seeing the room and asked if an upgrade was available. The lovely young man at the front desk was able to upgrade us for an additional €25 per night. Our new room had a beautiful ocean and pool view, and I'm so glad we upgraded, so keep this in mind when booking. On a positive note, the furniture appeared to be new, and the bed was comfortable. Other things to keep in mind: there was no corkscrew, the "fridge" was really just a cooler, and there was no ice machine. Pluses: The pool area was lovely. The breakfast was good and the restaurant staff were nice.

Fantastic buffet breakfast and very helpful staff

Clean property. Room, building, pool all very clean. Floor needed to be redone but still clean. Long walk to get to pool, restaurant, ice. Still very enjoyable stay. Would recommend

This is a lovely hotel. Rooms are large, clean and pleasing. The restaurant is good and the breakfast was very good. Staff are friendly and helpful. Shuttle is a real bonus
