This is an older hotel, but I really enjoyed my stay. The staff provided great hospitality and were knowledgeable about the area with great suggestions. The building needs new carpet, or better yet, new non-carpeted floors. It would also be nice to have slippers. Bed was comfy and view was beautiful. Breakfast buffet and environment were nice too. Pool area was clean and enjoyable, as was the poolside lunch/snack area. And the location is one of the best in Olhao, overlooking Rio Formosa! This hotel is due for a renovation, but the vibe is so good that it makes up for it. I would stay here again.

The Real Marina is a great hotel, whose staff go above and beyond at their jobs. The rooms are big, clean, and have AC. Bed is comfortable, and the bathrooms are spotless. The free internet has enough bandwidth to stream content if needs be. The hotel is not too far from numerous restaurants in Olhao, and it is perfectly positioned for getting a water taxi to the beaches, and the seafood festival. The only negatives I have with my stay there are to do with the bar. The prices of drinks were inconsistent (I paid €15 for a beer and Coke the first day, then €9 at another occasion), and the food options at lunch were not great.

Ideally situated for access to all amenities along the waterfront at Olhao. Staff were very helpful and informative when needed. We stayed on a B&B basis and the breakfast was v good, with lots of choice. Restaurant was available with a choice of meals on a buffet basis. All in all, an excellent hotel for hosting a stay exploring the area.

Lovely hotel but starting to feel a bit tired

Lovely hotel with friendly service and is our 6 th visit but it’s starting to look a bit tired including rooms and corridors . The pool bar is a bit basic and pool area is cramped but could be better designed . Overall still a nice hotel and will return but an upgrade is required in the next 2-3 years

Very nice location and friendly staff. Rooms are were well appointed. The hotel is within walking distance to ref shops, restaurants, and the marina. The restaurant at the hotel was very good. We booked two rooms and the second room was not ready at check in time. Staff was very apologetic and offered a few free drinks for the inconvenience. The AC in the hotel had gone out shortly before we checked in so the rooms were hot. It took several hours after it was fixed for the rooms to cool down. Despite the minor issues, we would love to return when we can spend a few more days and enjoy the area.
