The experience at Hotel Sheraton in Santos, SP, left us utterly disappointed. Despite its promising location near the beach, shopping, and restaurants, our stay was marred by a series of frustrating incidents. Booking through the Marriot Bonvoy app, we were misled about the payment process, as we had to pay at the hotel despite having paid through the app. The room reservation added insult to injury; expecting two queen beds, we were provided with a king bed instead. The inconvenience extended to the parking situation, where not only did we have to pay for parking, but also rely on hotel staff to retrieve our car, as guests were not permitted in the parking lot. The check-out process was a debacle, with the lobby's customer service displaying a baffling lack of awareness. Despite my proficiency in Portuguese, the staff struggled to comprehend the situation, adding unnecessary delays. Compounding the issues, not only did the lobby customer service exhibit a clear disregard for communication, but as someone fluent in English, understanding what they were trying to convey proved to be an arduous task. Considering the hefty price tag of the room, the breakfast's simplicity was a letdown. As someone who frequents Santos, I've decided unequivocally that Hotel Sheraton won't be on my list for future stays. The overall experience was far from the standard one would expect from a reputed hotel chain, leaving us with a bitter aftertaste that overshadows any positives the location might offer.
I was in São Paulo and decided to go to Santos for the weekend and stayed at the Sheraton. It was one of the best decisions I made. The hotel is really nice. The location, the rooms, the restaurant...all really perfect. I was helped at check in by Dayana, a very friendly and professional lady. The rooms are big, clean and modern. Breakfast was great. We went to the lobby bar for drinks and a bite. They have the most delicious pastel de nata I ever ate in my life. Daniel, Thiago and Izaias were really nice. Their service level is sky high. I also like to mention Hellen , the great host at the breakfast and lobby bar. Also so helpful and friendly. It was always a pleasure to see her. They all made our stay perfect. Across the hotel there is a big shopping mall and the beach is like 2 blocks away. When we left, Dayana came personally to the door to say bye to us and wish us a safe trip back home. That was really nice. I will definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it. Greetings, Frans
