PortoBay Falesia

The hotel stands overlooking Praia da Falesia in the charming town of Olhos de Agua, close to Albufeira in the Algarve. Surrounded by abundant green areas, the hotel enjoys direct access to the sea and the exceptional 8km long beach which is washed by the clear, calm waters of the Algarve sea.

Fantastic week at this lovely hotel. Definitely a slightly older crowd, very few children. Suited us. Rooms spacious and housekeeping superb. Gardens and pool area well kept. We dined in both the Madeira and Falesia restaurant - staff are amazing in both. Breakfast excellent with lots of choice. Highly recommend and must commend the GM in the running of this hotel.

What a great place. It was our first time at this hotel and we loved it. The facilities are great, we loved the gardens especially. The food is very good with so much choice at breakfast and dinner. The drinks are high quality with a great selection. The rooms are spacious, as a group of three adults, we were especially grateful for a very comfortable third bed in the room. The hotel offers such a high professional standard and should be proud! The staff stand out as they are highly professional in every regard. They're also friendly (and some are real characters)!! Ola Carlos (× 2), Philippe, Joselio, Ricardo, Hernan, Eduard, Cristina, Artur...... The spa is great and enhances an already positive experience. Obrigada Jenny. We came across so many returners (including a couple who were on their 16th trip)! All in all, a lovely quiet place for a relaxed holiday. ? Obrigada a todos.

Best hotel in Quarteira

Reviewed By deanoc433

One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in a while. Especially good as it’s only rated 3 star. Definitely has more to offer than a 3 star. We had a 6th floor seaview… which is a must. There really is no other view. The staff in all areas are fantastic and nothing is any trouble at all. Our bedding and towels were changed almost every day. We stayed 10 nights and had to give house keeper a few days off as rooms were spotless. The buffet breakfast was great value. Lots of daily variety. All the usual cereals, masses of fresh fruit, all the European choices of ham, eggs, cheese, pastries, croissants and the obligatory hot cooked items. Tea coffee and juices… everything unlimited. One thing to bare in mind that there was only regular milk, but we bought rice milk and just brought it down every morning. We chose on 3 occasions to also pay for the evening buffet too. Absolutely fabulous food. We spoke to the chef directly and passed on our thanks. She was chuffed. Restaurant staff were amazing too. It has a front affinity pool with plenty of sun beds. I can imagine when it’s high season you might struggle for a bed but no issues for us. Dom Jose has a private part of the beach with sunbeds there too. However, they cost €12.00 per day… 2 beds and an umbrella, same price as any other sunbed on any other part of the beach. I would have expected a cheaper price on production of my hotel key. That’s a lot of money extra especially if you can’t get a free bed at the pool. If I ever return to the area I would definitely stay here again.

Not what it aspires too

Reviewed By Companion22461325528

Overall the resort is immaculate. Staff are refreshingly informal but… No poolside service in a place claiming to be 5* is unforgivable. Prices are 5* however. The much publicised restaurant ‘Senses’ was closed leaving a small and very limited offering just off the bar. The poolside loungers are uncomfortable and not supplied with any cushions. We won’t be going back.

Small niggles which could have been resolved

Reviewed By Surreytraveller98

Lovely hotel and lovely food, very limited gluten free options in comparison to other 5*hotels I’ve stayed in. Prices as you would expect in a 5* hotel. Good areas around the pools and plenty of pool towels and beds for guests. Our room was spacious, bed very comfortable and good bed linen. but the bathroom design gives very little privacy and the seals on the shower leaked making the floor dangerously slippy. Coffee machine leaked the whole time we were there in spite of three changes. Although the hotel does not know in advance if their guests smoke we were surrounded by guests smoking on their balconies which meant we couldn’t sit on ours when they were on theirs our leave our windows open. A completely smoke free area would solve this problem. Better communication between front desk and maintenance dept would resolve issues before they niggle the guests. Our room was not serviced until 3-4pm every day which was really irritating if you wished to rest before dinner. Lovely hotel but not quite the standard we were expecting.
