Portimao Hotel Guide - Romantic Hotels in Portimao, Portugal

I really liked this hotel. We had a problem with the safe in our room. Because we had to make several phone calls to reception before it was fixed, the manager sent a bottle of port and crackers to our room as an apology. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We had a very early flight and the hotel sent up a continental breakfast to our room before we left t 5:30am. There were always loads of sunbeds available around the pools and the weather was perfect! It was not cheap but you get what you pay for!

We stayed here the 1st week of September. We had a room on the 3 floor which was lovely and quiet. Only downside of the room was we had no balcony so when we revisit (which we will) we will ask for a balcony. The staff on reception were absolutely brilliant - so polite and attentive and nothing too much trouble. They rang us a taxi when we wanted one and arranged a trip to Lisbon for us. The pool and pool area are spotlessly clean but because people (all english i might add) go down and reserve sunbeds at 8am and then disappeaar for most of the morning you have to go down early otherwise you cant get a sunbed.

Food was ok. Incredible location by great beach, perfect for hiking cliffs, renting kayaks, seeing caves. Facilities could not be better. Beautiful.

Lovely hotel situated in spacious grounds 5 minute walk to a beautiful sany shoreline. 20 minute walk to the lovely town centre of Lagos. Hire car is recommended if you want to get around but taxis are very reasonable 6 Euros to town. Food is first class with great choice. Very attentive staff all round. All rooms have easy access with swipe cards and simple to use room safes. Car parking is ample. Outside pool is unheated with fresh water but is designed exceptionally well with plenty of parasols and sun beds. Driving from the Airport takes 1 1/2hrs on the N125 but the A22 toll road will take only 50min. I would rate this very highly and give it 9/10

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were friendly and the hotel was in a good location with access to a beautiful beach. My only bad comment is I wouldn't expect to pay €2 for a coffee in my room when staying in a 5* hotel, it should be included in the price.

All good but walk to beach level uses very old and precarious steps down side of cliff. There was no railing and steps were slippery with sand.

very nice hotel .great location for beach.very nice pool.good restaurant.very good breakfast.friendly staff.rooms attractive and clean.some entertainment in partner hotel nearby.some very nice restaurants down by the beach.a bit quiet re entertainment locally .ok if your driving.

Absolutely brilliant hotel, from walking through hotel doors we were greeted by friendly staff, room and hotel spotless, great choice of breakfast, added extras like free safe and free towels daily for pool, overall a great hotel and will return

This is a beautiful hotel in exquisitely lovely grounds, with excellent restaurants and genuinely no need to leave the resort.

Expected a little more from a 4 star hotel - rooms are quite basic, we had a double room but had twin beds pushed together, they charge extra for most things e.g. 14 euros for a lock for your safe for a week! Reasonably close to the beach, takes 5-10 mins to walk down the road - bit more of a distance to the main shops / restaurants area - can walk this in about 20 mins. They do have a free shuttle bus (on weekdays) but the times aren't particularly helpful the return buses only run twice at near midday and 5 pm so can't get it back after dinner so we only used it one way once. Quite a lot of different restaurants, a lot of Italian places (probably more than portuguese) and a couple of nice beach side bars and gelado shops. There is nightly entertainment in Carveiro centre which is sometimes quite good... the hotel entertainment, on the whole, was pretty awful! Without hiring a car a week was definitely enough, there isn't a massive amount to do but if you just like sitting by the pool / on the beach it's fine! Also quite a nice cliff side walk.
