Portimao Hotel Guide - Golf Hotels in Portimao, Portugal

Great hotel, lovely food and glorious countryside. Pool area was lovely. Only slight annoyance was not being allowed to walk around the golf course unless you were playing a round.

Good location for Alvor and Lagos and if you are playing golf great champion course couldn't fault the hotel great pool, breakfast ,room,and the beach with sun beds umbrellas and towels all included will be retuning.

Arrived early but room was ready and made available. Reception staff overall were efficient and friendly and facilities were sufficient for our stay and as described on the Expedia website. Hotel is slightly remote being between Alvor and Portimao, with nearest Restaurant around 200m away. We had a car so not a great problem, but Alvor is not within stumbling distance for night owls. Cabs cost 5 or 6 Euros to/from Alvor. Pool area was busy during our stay including some fun activities provided by entertainment staff, but only what can be expected for July and good for the kids. Only gripe relates to the morning ritual of having to queue at the gate to the pool for sun beds that was not opened until 9.30. A race then resulted! This is not helped by some people putting their towels down and not returning for several hours meaning some late comers went without. A Lifeguard or Pool Supervisor would help by removing towels on beds not used for say one hour max as does happen at some other resort Hotels. Air conditioning in room was good and much needed as weather was very hot during our stay.

Great hotel. Would recommend. Pools are greatly maintained. Beach not too far away.

Although we enjoyed our stay at the Dom Joao we were a little disappointed on arrival as we were checked in to a room with facilities for a disabled person, which we did not require, and that had no balcony. This is the second time we have visited the Dom Joao and unfortunately had problems both times with rooms. It makes the start of a holiday quite unsettling as you are unable to unpack and wait anxiously to be allocated what you had booked months in advance.

Very good service throughout, room cleanliness, staff, food, excellent breakfast with piano player and cava to start your day off. Couldn't be better.

The apartments are about a ten minute walk to the beach and really close to the town centre, but still quiet. They were clean and well equipped but we found the beds a bit hard. The more expensive apartments on the third floor certainly looked worth the extra money.

The Globo Hotel (booked on a bed and breakfast option) was exactly what I was looking for. The reception staff Carlos and Elsa where very helpful and courteous. Elsa particularly, went the extra mile booking tours for us by telephone. The Room was pleasant, spotlessly clean and had separate bathroom and toilet, an opening/tilting door cum window, a TV (with British Channels, SKY news etc), Air conditioning and free Internet and Safe. The cleaner was very accommodating, offering to clean the room around our requirements on a couple of occasions. I believe the towels were changed daily and bedding every two days. The breakfast room/restaurant was very clean with fantastic views, the staff friendly and approachable. The breakfast buffet consisted of fresh bread (sliced white and brown and crusty rolls), croissants, breakfast pastries and cakes. Ham, Cheese, Salami, Fresh Tomatoes, two fruits (either peaches, pears, pineapple, oranges or melon) sometimes fresh sometimes tinned, a selection of yoghurts. Scrambled and hard boiled eggs, Frankfurter style sausage and beans or mushrooms, two cereals and fresh milk.There was also fruit juice, a selection of teas and coffees from a machine. The food was pleasant and plentiful

This was just a one night stay but the bed was very comfortable. They had some kind of metal blind to cover the bedroom window and keep out street noise but I did not need it. Even though we did not buy the restaurant breakfast their coffee Americano and Galao was fantastic and totalled 3 euro . I would definitely stay there again .

We arrived well after midnight and had no trouble checking in. The rooms are clean and adequately furnished. We received clean sheets and towels during our 6 day stay and the main room and bathroom was cleaned every day except Sunday. The kitchen area is for the guest to do. Kettle, hob, microwave and coffee maker supplied but no toaster and tea cups not mugs which came as a surprise. The shop on site has everything you need and is open every day. Meals can be taken in the hotel or at restaurants on site. The fantastic beach is a short walk and quite a few steps (a lift is available when the restaurant is open but there are still steps top and bottom) away.
