Amazing resort, location was incredible and the pool and lounge area were great.
Highly recommend getting the half board at the Buffet dinner was super yummy with a lot of choice.
The aircon and fan in the room were much needed and we had great night sleeps.
The property is beautiful. The room was clean and the staff amazing. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed every moment. The complimentary breakfast buffet was great and if you choose the dinner buffet well stocked and reasonably priced. There is nightly entertainment should you choose to stay on the resort. Albufeira is a close Uber ride so close for excursions and dinner in the old town. We will definitely return. Great experience.
Was an excellent stay. Both my pregnant wife and I felt very welcome. I had a treat for my birthday and a treat for my baby, the room was always spotless and breakfast, although busy and with some of the staff showing a bit of inexperience, was always great and the buffet was fresh and replenished constantly. Parking was the only thing i can really complain about as there wasn’t always parking nearby (with a pregnant wife i wish this wasn’t the case). Wish i booked a few extra days as 7 days felt short. Thank you for making our baby moon so enjoyable.
I really like this hotel that’s why I came back for the second time this year. Area is absolutely beautiful, good breakfast, nice pool and spa. The only thing I would improve is staff attitude. I do understand not everyone comes from hospitality background but it’s management responsibility to train staff better. When I had to change rooms halfway through my stay informing staff in advance I faced a lot of strange made up issues and excuses saying I have to check out, wait two hours then check in again. It’s not how you handle in-house guests, you treat room changes as a priority not as a new booking. It’s strange that such a nice property won’t have better policies.
Absolutely beautiful hotel. Really quiet and peaceful. We did go outside of school holidays so it could be busier during that time. Lovely breakfast loads of choice. Room was immaculate and very quiet.
The access to the beach could have been better signposted. The way down to one of the beaches is not easily accessible, don't attempt it if you have any mobility problems or aren't very fit. Very steep steps. The other beach can be walked to easily.
The hotel is quite set back in a cul de sac. It looks like its easy to walk to or there should be a cutting to get to it but there isn't and it is quite a steep hill to walk up.
The area the hotel is in is quiet, if you are after a central base in Albufeira this isn't the place for you. But there is a bus stop close by and the buses are regular so if you don't mind that it's good
Amazing property! We recently stayed at PortoBay Blue Ocean and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The hotel is beautifully maintained, spacious, and offers everything needed for a relaxing and memorable holiday. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, efficient, and completely hassle-free. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always attentive to guests' needs, making us feel comfortable throughout our stay. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options available every morning. There was something for everyone, and the cakes and pastries were especially outstanding. The facilities are exceptional and very well maintained. The hotel features both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, along with a relaxing jacuzzi area. The spa offers a great selection of massages and treatments, providing the perfect opportunity to unwind and recharge. One of the highlights of our stay was the evening entertainment. The live singing performances created a wonderful atmosphere and added a special touch to our evenings. Another unique feature is that PortoBay Falésia is connected to PortoBay Blue Ocean by a beautiful wooden walkway. The breath-taking ocean views along the path make every stroll a memorable experience and add to the charm of the property. The location is fantastic, with stunning coastal scenery and direct access to some of the most beautiful views in the Algarve.
The staff were very helpful, although on our arrival (approximately 1230am) there wasn’t a porter to assist us with our luggage to the 3rd floor with 2 long hallways. We had asked for a quiet room, but didn’t expect a room facing rooftops & street lighting for several miles, and a view of the main road into the town, and a generator that cut in/out every 3 minutes from breakfast to dinner each day. Breakfast was very comprehensive, although the evening meal for €110 with wine was average at best, so we continued to you use the À la carte restaurant, that although slightly more expensive, was excellent! Towels on beds was an irritating practice, and remained unchecked. All in all the beach views were spectacular, although I wouldn’t recommend for those unprepared to walk a mile or so down approximately 150-200 timber steps (my wife and I are in our late 70s but are not adverse to exercise) all in all a good holiday, but not a resort I would rush back too! I would be happy to provide a comprehensive ( in my opinion inexpensive) improvement plan, 10 out of 10 for staff attitudes 👍
The hotel is exceptional. Highly maintained, food lovely, staff amazing. A nice walk into the village to the restaurants too. My only very minor complaint is the large pool is a little cold, but you do acclimatise pretty quickly.
Hotel opened July 2025 so all fresh and clean, partial sea view room really nice, clean, good balcony to sit out on. Pools excellent, plenty of sun beds too. Food great, plenty of choice at breakfast. A few exercises classes every day for those that want to be active ( aqua aerobics and pilates) but also a reasonable one site gym. Good location over looking Felecia beach, sunbeds with shade 10 euros each for the day. 20 mins / 9 euro Uber to Albuferia and Villamorey with plenty of restaurants. 5/5 overall.

Pros
* Beautiful property in a fantastic location.
* The hotel manager handled our complaint professionally, apologized personally, and genuinely tried to improve our experience.
* The small café by the pool had outstanding, friendly, and efficient service.
* The second dinner at Flor de Sal was much better, and the food was good.
Cons
* Paid for two Full Ocean View rooms, but one was clearly only a partial ocean view. Reception’s response was simply, “It is what it is.”
* First dinner at Flor de Sal took over 2 hours before we received our meals.
* Air conditioning barely cooled the room.
* Mini fridge did not keep items cold (including medication).
* Ceiling fan didn’t work.
* Shower alternated between hot and cold every 30 seconds.
* Clogged shower drain was reported but never repaired.
* Only one complimentary bottle of water for the entire stay, despite guests being advised not to drink the tap water and temperatures around 36°C (97°F).
* Wi-Fi was slow and unreliable.
* Hotel corridors had a noticeable musty odor.
* Bar service was consistently slow and forgetful.
* Many hotel facilities closed surprisingly early.
Overall, this hotel has tremendous potential, but for the price paid, the service, maintenance, and attention to detail fell well below expectations.
Fantastic hotel! Everything was clean, modern, and well looked after. The breakfast buffet was excellent, the pool and facilities were top-notch, and the reception staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a wonderful experience and are already planning to come back. Highly recommended!
Nice chilled atmosphere and excellent room and space. Would be nice if there was a toilet closer to the pool restaurant etc but not a major issue.
Staff very friendly and good humour
The hotel is well maintained and I was pleased that the room I stayed in was true to size.
Hotel amenities are great, and you can find local bars, eateries, and a supermarket less than 15 mins walk from the hotel. Old town is a 10-15 min drive away.
The walking bridge to Falesia beach was super convenient and I was very pleased with how easy the route was to access the beach.
I was slightly disappointed and shocked by the lack of female sanitary products available in and around the hotel. This is rarely an issue I face at other hotels.
I also would've appreciated knowing the reservation policy for the hotel restaurants, as they encourage that all reservations are made at least 2 days in advance. Unfortunately, this meant that the Italian restaurant at PortoBay Falesia was completely booked out by the time I arrived.
