We just spent a few days in this hotel (June 2009). All in all a nice experience. Breakfast was definitely excellent. The room was big and clean. However, some petty things did surprise us : daily payment for the use of the safe (???), rental of the pingpong table + table football (in all other places places clients may use... more

Awesome location - clean, modern friendly hotel with stunning sea views and access to a 5k beach - great for running to Villamoura in the evening - dinner and breakfast were A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! healthy and / or greasy! Pool was ok - we preferred the beach. Lovely staff. One of my top hotels ever! Def pay the extra for a sea... more

This was my first trip to the Algarve and I travelled with my husband and a group of friends age range from 15-65. The guys played golf in Vilamoura whilst we relaxed at the hotel. The hotel has recently been refurbished and you can see as soon as you walk into the beautiful lobby. It is a four star. We... more

We stayed in the Porto Bay hotel for one night only with a view to returning with family later in the summer. The room we were checked into was not the category we had booked and paid for. The room overlooked the car park, other hotels and a distance sea view. We telephoned reception to tell them we should have... more

Having stayed in the excellent Cliff Bay in Madeira we thought we'd try its sister hotel in Olhos d'Agua and we were delighted. The views from our room (it's certainly worth paying the extra for sea view) were gorgeous and the staff, without exception, were wonderful with nothing being too much trouble. A credit to the management The standard bedrooms... more

Just back from porto bay ..........ahhhh bliss. 3 of us went (3 thirty somenthing ladies!) We booked it as it was such good value, if you go to their site and pay at time of booking €52.00 per night b&b - cant be bad we thought Arrived at 2p.m in afternoon, up to room and straight out to a beutifull... more

I'm writing this review from my room at the Porto Bay Falesia. I'm here with work, and we're staying for 6 days. I stay in hotels an AWFUL lot (I'm a pilot), so good/reasonable hotels are nothing special to me. And generally, very few of the hotels I stay in are places I would choose to come on holiday. This... more

Been in Algarve before and seen some hotels but this one was so far one of the best. The hotel is outside from Albufeira town in small village of Olhos D'agua and we loved it as it was sooo relaxing and calm after spending day/evening in noisy and busy Albufeira central.. As we prefer hotels without screaming and running young... more

While we had a good holiday here, the place does have its drawbacks. On arrival we were surprised to find that there is no porter service and the staff seemed very happy to watch us struggle with all our luggage together with a pushchair and baby. The complete indifference of the staff really is something to behold! From the reception... more
