Portimão hotels

Pros: Everything was amazing.. quiet and peaceful.

Cons: Most shops shut and not many souvenir shops

Pros: Great location. Good access to the beach. Good localisation to the rest of the town and boulevard. Friendly personnel in the restaurant area. Great view.

Cons: Breakfast scores 1/10. Not worth 4 star, omelette is made out of a package and not fresh biologic eggs. Coffee from a cheap machine mixed with added sugars. Bread and pastries were not edible for me. The mattress of the bed is cheap and hard. Like I said this is hotel is not worth 4 star, more like 3 star in accordance with the European standard.

Pros: Hotel by the sea front, with a wonderful balcony. The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was also great. 65" LCD TV was a good surprise. Champagne in the room because it was part of the honeymoon stay. The restaurant was good not so much because of the quantity but more because of the quality.

Cons: The swimming pool was not so big but who really cares when you have a marvelous beach with clean waters in front of you.

Pros: It is very romantic. Close to clubs and bars but not too close

Pros: We like it all,its a very decent hotel,large bedrooms,nice views and in a good position,we go often because we live in Portugal .

Cons: Would like a little more attention to the food warmth chip and potatoes for instance were on the cold side,no microwaves.

Pros: Very comfy place with huge rooms great view of beach Oriental Moroccan stylish vey impressive Romantic stay i high recommend

Pros: Everything the only minor daily was the rough toilet paper on the lower floor. But hey who cares anyway. Didn't want to leave this morning. We will be back for sure.

Cons: This is really a genuinely Great Choice Hotel in Portimao. There was no faulting in the stay at all. The rooms are spacious. The grand beds are totally luxurious . The Room maids are so happy and lovely. The reception staff couldn't be more polite and helpful ,they are true professionals. The Bar and waiting staff are very attentive and again know their jobs oh so well. The frozen Margaritas are great . Now the Chef's in the kitchen are brilliant with the large choice of such superb quality goods. It couldn't of been any better and far exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed half board and it turned out to be great value for money. Finally may I commend the Management because it was my true experience getting to know the staff that they are very committed to the highest level of service with a smile on their face at all times. And this is a true reflection of a Happy and we'll balanced Management who care for their staff. And the staff really were genuine and a true reflection of the Portuguese people. Don't just trust my word , go and endulge in the delights that this fine hotel resort is and enjoy the moment .

Pros: Lots of choices for breakfast. Lots of restaurants in area. Close to beach!

Also available is shuttle service to Praia da Rocha. Very good location for exploring Algarve. Car garage costs us 6 EUR/day. I recommend this hotel.

Cons: A bit of noise during the night, since the marina view rooms are very close to a very busy road.

Pros: we went to atlantico several times and had fab meals

Pros: Its equidistant between the beach and the old town center.

Cons: Breakfast was good , no complaints. A top class restaurant for evening meals would be desirable.

Pros: Location is great, with good views and convienence of being between two towns within easy walking distance. Delux rooms offer best views.

Cons: Room cleaning was always very late in the day, which meant being disturbed by staff having retired to the room having been out all day. It is a very minor thing bit quite disruptive when trying to rest/relax.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Needs a clothes horse on balcony to hang wet towels etc.

Pros: The hotel made for a very central location for our purpose of getting out into the Algarve area. Although we had our own transport! There was a good public transport system in the area. We were very pleased with the staff From reception to restaurant and general staff.

Cons: Personally there wasn’t any thing we could think of.

Pros: Location was great. Lovely walks through the marina and beach. No lifts though, so if mobility a problem ask for ground floor. They upgraded for grandparents to have a ground floor which was great. Rooms where clean and house keeping was wonderful everyday.

Cons: Beware of movie Channels as they charge $10E per movie even if you just click into it. Grandfather was not aware and got charged for three unwatched movies.

Cons: Poor breakfast, coffee was awful, far away from the beach, uncomfortable beds and pillows.

Pros: Accomodation was roomy with a nice balcony overlooking marina.Good breakfast.Hotel bar pleasant.

Pros: Location and cleanliness

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location Room size

Cons: Check in took 1 hour. No transfer available to room. ( Long distance with luggage) No pool towels available on the spot. Need to wait more than 1 hour .

Pros: Close to the beach.Friendly staff.

Cons: Friendly staff.Good breakfast collection. Should tell about private pickup from Faro for guests when booking is made. Breakfast should start at 7 AM.

Pros: The amazing landscape around and the peace you get with it.

Cons: Breakfast could be more local oriented. English breakfast I would prefer to have in England ;) Not having a jogging route through the nice landscapes without conflicting with the Golf

Pros: An excellent hotel, extremely quiet and very pleasant all round.

Cons: Nothing really, it suited me perfectly.

Pros: Space Cleanliness View Price

Cons: Mattress protectors Wi-fi

Pros: The view from our balcony was great, the size of the room exceeded our expectations, the facilities were very modern, the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was very complete and varied (our favourite things were the omelette station and the nespresso machine!). We were on our honeymoon and the hotel surprised us with a bottle of sparkling wine and some strawberries with chocolate, which was a lovely gesture.

Cons: Even though the hotel was quiet in general, we could hear the people in the room next to us. This hotel would be absolutely perfect if it wasn't for this

Pros: Had a short stay it was nice easy to access.

Cons: Nothing, didn’t stay long enough to fault it if there was any.

Pros: Golf

Cons: Rooms are rubbish... aircon broken... single beds

Pros: Out in the countryside so very peaceful. Excellent room, shower, food at dinner, breakfast, parking! Bed and pillows best of any hotel we’ve ever stayed in! Staff very friendly and helpful- nothing too much trouble for them.

Cons: Cannot fault anything.

Pros: Nice relaxing hotels and golf courses but nothing else on offer

Cons: Lacking amenities,place was full but no entertainment,refreshments were very expensive...golf reception were not very helpful.only one bar open at a time and very busy . Golf good but organisation poor ,ladies dont dring heels due to uneven paths and cobbles.

Pros: The staff were brilliant. We arrived late and the guy treated us with the right mix of being friendly without keeping us up longer than necessary. It set the tone for the week, everyone was great, breakfast was good, and a good spot as it was a little quieter than being nearer portimao main town.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. There are pleasant terraces to sit and read and drink wine in the evenings! It’s only a few minutes walk to some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen, and there are plenty of local restaurants. Also the tourist hop-on hop-off bus stops close by which is a very useful way to get about the area - this is how I discovered Alvor, which is really worth a visit. It’s a charming, quiet place, perfect for total relaxation.

Cons: Everything was great!

Pros: Your breakfast was fine, a good amount of choice and plenty of food.

Cons: he dining room was a bit cramped round the hot drink machines.

Pros: Beaches nearby were amazing In general variery at breakfast was good Bed very comfy and shutter for balcony offers extra security

Cons: More remote than i anticipated but its not a bad thing, just be prepared for a walk for dinner etc Hair in the bed and food at breakfast one morning Charging €3 minimum per item for the laundry service is laughable, fair to say i didn't use it

Pros: Room and bathroom clean and new. Good breakfast. Amable staff.

Cons: Actually the only reason that I've booked the room and in particular this hotel was the "sea view" in the description. I have to say that the hotel is not on the beach, you don't see the ocean from the rooms or the hall. If you want to go to the beach is 10 minutes walking, but the streets you have to do are not so nice.

Pros: One of my best tour in europe , is Portimao. The 3 days stay at sao roque, was amazing . I would like to thank Isabella for her friendly behavior (who was in the front desk as well as handling all the situations). The staffs were very friendly and supportive and i came to know some of the best beaches of portimao from them. Benagil tour is also possible from portimao by boat. They welcomed us with a free drinks . The room has enough space and clean. breakfast was good. Definitely recommendable. Thanks Madhuparna & Goutam

Pros: hotel owners Isabel and antonio excellent lost my passport which they found would have spent the holiday replacing it, breakfast was continental all you could eat and drink, room compact but clean and tidy with maid service every day to make bed change towels. as the hotel is in a residential area could get noisy early evening but would quieten down later, short walk to pingo supermarket with harbour cafes and shops also bus info office very handy weather great

Pros: The friendliness of the management.

Pros: This hotel is owned by a family who also live in the hotel. They are always available to help and offer any services that they can. They first helped us find a place to eat when we arrived late. Then they borrowed us free beach towels ( and offered free umbrellas, chairs, and beach paddles), allowed us to use their printer, and were overall excellent hosts. Breakfast was nice bread, meat, and cheese and was very good (best free breakfast we have received while in Europe). The room was very clean and nice enough condition. I absolutely would stay again.

Pros: Very pleasant place to stay at. Staff is exceptionally kind and informative. We came after the midnight and we are offered with a welcome drink, which is a small but very effective gesture. Hotel is older, but very clean. They clean room and change towels every day. Wi-fi works well. Hotel is placed in the quiet neighborhood, on the walking distance from beach and city center. There is a supermarket near hotel too. If you have moderate expectations, this place will be great for you.

Pros: Friendly hosts, good location quite near to the Praia da Rocha and bus stops. They serve nice and cheap breakfast. The rooms are almost fully equipped. The hosts are very helpful and fulfill every wish.

Cons: High stairs without elevator. There is no fridge in the rooms.

Pros: Very simple and a very good value. Very quiet!

Cons: A bit old.

Pros: + really nice and helpful host + comfortable bed + breakfast for 2 € (it's simple stuff but you won't even get it cheaper in the supermarket)

Cons: - it was quite loud there so I had troubles falling asleep - the bathroom isn't very appealing

Pros: The staff.

Pros: The interior

Pros: The location is great, and the stuff is very kind.

Cons: A little bit unusual thing for me with, something like, common showers that do not have doors. Though, there is one private.

Pros: Location was pretty good, close to the bus station from where you can get a bus to the beaches from the south of Portimao. Train station even closer, which is good if you come by train. Place is clean and has 2 bathrooms, we had the 2 beds room with balcony. Kitchen available if you want to eat in, with all amenities included. A/c was good and we had two small lockers for our stuff. Was not crowded when we were there so we didn't feel that we were in a hostel. Around it there are lots of small shops for souvenirs/clothes/farmacy/groceries/minimarkets/restaurants and walking distance to the mall (about 10-15min).

Pros: The area

Cons: The noise

Pros: Friendly staff, clean rooms and good price!

Pros: Very well located, just in front of the beach; Perfect for some vacations with small children because beach and pool are perfect to entertain them. If this is not enough, there is also a small park for them to play;

Cons: Buildings are a bit old and an overall remake of the apartments would be advised; Even though cooking is possible, if you want to eat out, there are some restaurants nearby but a wider variety would require some sort of transportation;

Pros: Very Clean place. Inside pool very good condition.

Pros: Very spacious and clean - excellent location.

Cons: The pilow was too soft and unconfortable to me, and I am sure it would be changed in case we complained, but as it was only 1 night stand I didn't. It was quite noisy early in the morning, I believe this is because the bedroom was on the ground floor, facing the main road.

Pros: I liked the location of the property. Beyond that there was little to like.

Cons: This aparthotel needs to have a major renovation. It’s at least 25 years overdue. The inside of the room was not only severely dated, it was dirty and uncomfortable. The master bed mattress was so thin and barren that I got poked with springs all night long. The pull out sofa bed with its 3 inch thick mattress my 5-year-old slept on was actually more comfortable. My kids feet were black if they didn’t wear their shoes in the room. There were black hairs behind the bathroom door (we are blondes and brunettes), a giant hairball in the kitchen. There were no toiletries, the washer/dryer barely worked (I had to hang every piece of laundry I washed), no detergent to wash any dishes we used. The walls of the room were paper thin and we could hear road noise and the 11 pm dumpster pick up like it was in the room with us. The WiFi signal was unreliable and weak. The main pool was frigid and the most shallow point as over 5ft deep. My kids are great swimmers, but the pool wasn’t enjoyable because they couldn’t touch anywhere and we were told no floats were allowed. They did have two kiddie pools but they were tiny and only 1.5 ft deep., which weren’t much fun for the 8 and 9 year olds. We had breakfast on site once, and that was enough. The food was not good. We also ate at the pool bar one afternoon. We sat down at 11:58 and the waiter promptly told us they didn’t serve lunch until 12. I said that is only two minutes away, so I think we can wait. Well, the food again wasn’t good and the whole process took 2 hours!! Ridiculous amount of time for chicken nuggets and burgers to be served and eaten. Overall the hotel was run down, uncomfortable and unfriendly. I would look elsewhere. Conversely we stayed at Martinhal Chiado aparthotel while in Lisbon and it was outstanding. Clean, awesome service, comfortable. Wish we would have chosen their Sagres location for the second half of our trip.

Cons: No aircon. And no washing machine, on booking it said we should have...

Pros: It was clean and well laid out

Cons: The beds were a little uncomfortable

Pros: The hotel still has an old style elegance. The breakfast buffet is great. The rooms each have a Nespresso machine, only remember to bring your preferred capsules as choice is limited. The staff are friendly and attentive. The Championship course still challenges all but the best of golfers.

Cons: Watch out for the wine list, which is not accurate, especially if you are a stickler for a particular vintage.

Pros: Great massages. Great pool. Tranquil and friendly. 4th time here- we love it!

Cons: Pool and pool bar shutting before sunset

Pros: Nice pool , lovely grounds , nice waiting staff in the dining room ., helpful room service , had to request for a kettle .

Cons: Staff could be abrupt and not very helpful on reception , didn’t really want to help so I didn’t feel that they treated myself and family with any enthusiasm and didn’t take any interest in our vacation .

Pros: The surroundings, the terraces, the restaurants

Cons: Not easy access to the coast

Pros: Breakfast - Great Staff - Fantastic

Cons: nothing

Pros: We had liked everything! Starting from the kind staff, even if yong, the superior food quality and serving as it should be in a 5 star hotel, ending in the exterior areas extremely well care, and the comfort of the room. There couldn’t be more fantastic than it was. All the people help when necessary, assisted when attended. Weather was also perfect and help to create memorable moments but it wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t the good management and training to the yong staff. Thanks. Looking forward to return.

Cons: Some minor faults from yong staff, however we cannot judge the entire facility because of it.

Pros: Very spacious Rooms Exceptionally clean and very relaxing pool area

Cons: Its a good 10 minute walk into village downhill. Which was fine for us as we like walking. But no good for travellers with problems getting about walking. Although taxi only €4 into village and €4 back up to hotel

Pros: Everything was very good

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Vey friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable. Plenty of choice at breakfast

Cons: nothing

Pros: Fantastic property both inside and out. Lovely pool area, clean open rooms. I would highly recommend a “sea view” room. Free parking outside. A full supermarket about 5 mins walk away.

Cons: It was just a little bit a of a walk from the village of Alvor, about 10 minutes if you walk fast. We were a couple, I wouldn’t like to be a family without a car bringing all your bag and baggage (and kids) down to the beach. Also one thing which I thought was really annoying. I spent ages trying to turn on the oven in the room to no avail. I read the booklet back to front in the room and it just gave instructions for the hob (which didn’t work either). My last resort was to ring reception to which I got “Did you pay?” .... very confused I reply “Did I pay for what?” To which I got a snide reply of “You must pay 3euro per day to use the oven”. To be honest it’s not entirely the fact that you have to pay for the oven, (We are in another hotel now for the next part of our stay and the oven works for free!) it was more that no where in any of the literature does it say or was it mentioned at check in that you must pay for the oven. Such a silly thing to leave a bad taste in my mouth after our Lovely stay.

Pros: Very big rooms!!! The beach is few minutes walking

Cons: Quite Old furniture and the cleanest wasn’t excellent .

Pros: Great Location

Cons: Lack of starter pack eg washing up liquid. Lack of any information in the apartment

Pros: I very much enjoy the area of Praia do Vau. Coral is nicely located with easy access to the beach and to local restaurants. The staff was most pleasant and helpful.

Cons: There really is nothing not to like for me. I enjoy the area, walking on the beach, etc.

Pros: Have stopped at the coral many times Maria and all the staff are always helpful would recommend the place to anyone. Praia da Rocha Portimao and alvor are all short taxi rides away.

Pros: Plenty of space and the lady in reception was so helpful

Pros: Liked everything.

Cons: nothing to dislike.

Cons: Nothing it was perfect.

Pros: Location was great, front desk was very helpful. The buffet breakfast was good by European standards.

Pros: Great beach location. Great property. Fantastic views. Convenient location for restaurants and bars.

Pros: Location and reception area are good.

Cons: Dated, poor breakfast and in-room facilities.

Cons: Staff rude and unhelpful regarding parking. Advertises that there is parking available yet your car is moved to an offsite multi-storey. If there is no staff available to take your car....tough luck as we were told 2days on the trot

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: The toilet in the room was broken and I had to call maintenance twice in 12 hours. The hotel gym was under renovation and not available tog guests, and there was no arrangement with another hotel to use their gym. The roof in the ground floor hallway was leaking so we had to walk around buckets of water.

Pros: location

Cons: poor breakfast old facilities

Pros: Food was good.

Cons: Reserved king bed but given 2 twins as they had no available king rooms despite our prepaid reservation. They really didn't care about it either.

Cons: The bathroom and the kitchen was dirty almost all the time (we were there for 3 nights). I think this is because of persons who use it, not the owner... But this is a problem that needs to be solved.

Cons: There was no pool
