Great location! Beautiful beach right down the steps. Loved the quiet atmosphere of the pool area. Many places to relax. We had a car, so drove to see the coast, from Sagres to Tavira. Stopped at many towns along the way. You must visit Praia do Rocha, Tavira, Sagres, Salema. Spent one day golfing at Sagados. From the course you can see the beach and boardwalk of Salgados.
Porto Bay Hotel had lots of free parking, lovely breakfast and dinner at Basilico. We did not do the buffet dinner during our 6 night stay. Walked up the street a few times. Lots of places to eat.
We loved our stay at PortoBay Falesia. The walkable area, restaurants and shopping were just great. The breakfast buffet was amazing. The pool and Italian restaurant were fantastic. The walk to the beach was just perfect. There were quite a few stairs, but well worth it!
This hotel is amazing in every way. The location to the beach is stunning a short walk away and then into Olhos de Agua village five minutes away with a really good choice of restaurants. The location is peaceful. Hotel staff wonderful and we will return for a third year as will be hard to beat. So many golf courses around to choose from
Was here end of May and was just the hotel I wanted: quiet, clean but with pool and beach access.
The beach was a bit of a trek down a lot of stairs, but well worth it. Try and find the Olhos d'Agua at low tide.
Food is ok, but there are decent alternatives in the nearby town..
Definitely recommended for a chill break, but with easy taxi ride to the nightlife of Albufeira.
We had a wonderful 8 night stay - no complaints whatsoever. Room was great and the staff very friendly! This was our first trip to Portugal and we’re so happy we chose this hotel. The landscaping, the pool, the various places to relax, I could go on and on. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Pros:
- hotel location, walkable to restaurants and shops. Around 10/15mins drive from the old town.
- access to the beach (you do have to pay €10 to rent a sun bed)
- breakfast was great with loads of veg and gluten free options.
Cons:
- rooms are quite dated, if you can afford to upgrade to a larger room they usually have the renovated showers.
- bed was awful on our back! We did complain as the mattress was really worn down but nothing was done.
- shower head was leaking through to the floor.
A nice hotel but the majority of other guests were German so it’s not an easy place to socialise due to language barrier. The staff were mixed. Some were superbly helpful but many were rude and cold. The food is good but drinks are outrageously expensive at more than double prices from local bars. The place is a little dated and tired. Pool not always clean and activities are expensive too. Adequate but not a 4/5* venue
