The Boss re-visited the hotel with her sister (2nd-16th May) after we had 2 weeks here 18 months ago. Before her arrival I had requested a couple of things, a room near to where we were before( sea view, a must!) and a kettle. Both requests were fulfilled although the hotel wanted to charge for the use of 2 cups,... More

Real Marina sells itself as a 5 star hotel. So what sets a 5 star out against other ratings?

I stayed here with family on our first trip to Portugal,and was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting miracles for the price, but the hotel exceeded expectations on all counts. The staff are faultless,speak excellent english,always polite and go that extra mile to help you (printing out train timetables,speaking to taxi drivers on our behalf etc) Facilities: The hotel itself is...

I have to mention I had a problem with the smell on the corridor, I don't know where it came from, but it was very strong, as I always had to... More
