Former Porta Nova Hotel since 2017 completely remodeled. Free breakfast, free Sauna and Turkish bath, free indoor and outdoor pool makes this place a bargain if you can get reasonable rates (65€ we paid per night). Buffet dinner 29€/Person + drinks is overpriced (local restaurant dinner incl. drinks is 15-20€/Person)
Breakfast buffet has huge selection, made to order eggs and stuff is a real plus.
Parking (still) free (incl. the roadside). Very nice personell all over - high recommened for Tavira! I recomend ”Restraurante O Simao” in residential area
We had a little hard time finding the address however, when we arrived, it was just like what what we expected a retreat hidden from everything. people are eager to help, very friendly except they don’t know what a lemonade is bartender we ask for a lemonade they gave us a lemon soda However everything else was great love the people love the attitude. Food was excellent. Temperature was a little hot that’s expected from the end of June July. Thanks again for excellent service.
The hotel is relatively old, but it is near the highway entrance. There are not many choices for breakfast in the hotel, but the staff is quite enthusiastic. The front desk can speak English, but the housekeepers do not understand English. It takes 15-20 minutes to drive to Portimao. It is recommended to go to the Portimao pier to buy a ticket directly to go to the sea, or drive another half an hour to the more beautiful Lagos beach.

Clean and tidy. There is a large terrace near the sea, and the restaurant also has floor-to-ceiling windows with a view. The location is quite good. The service is warm and professional. The hotel is a bit old, but it is well maintained and does not look old. The only drawback is that although there is a kettle on the table, I couldn't find a socket after searching around. In short, the cost performance is very high, and it is a comfortable and pleasant stay experience.
When we first booked the resort we were expecting a hotel rather than a resort - so we were surprised when we had the entire ground floor of the building. We really liked the set up of the resorts and is well renovated and taken care by the staffs. Great that they have provided shuttle bus service as it was not an accessible location if you do not drive. We had to call Uber to and from Lagos city centre as it would take us 30 mins of walk in order to reach the city centre. Otherwise, the kitchen was well equipped and even better if they can provide hair dryer without request. In our case, we had to offer a 20 euros deposit in order to lend the hair dryer for use. Apart from that, well done for the maintenance and my friend and I enjoyed the stay a lot.

Best location in town with 2-minute walk to the beach front, south balcony view, with nearby Pão Quente supermarket and restaurants.
Frequent house keeping and tidy building. Free gated parking. Will be back!
The hotel does not require an extra bed because he already has a sofa bed. It is suitable for children to play, there is an outdoor swimming pool, football field and water slide. There is a laundry room and a private passage to go to the beach. There are many restaurants next to the hotel. There is also a kitchen.
The location is 4, if you're not a rental car or a car user, you're not accessing it.
It's not easy.
Two-story structure
The first floor is a living room and kitchen
The second floor is used as a bedroom.
It's a place where I stayed for a while because of the street while moving,
It's a place that I can't rest after staying for a long time.
There are tables and sunbeds in the individual yard, which is a good place to rest.
Very Good

Amazing
FFranfromivegillVery clean and new hotel. The carpets in the hallways were brilliant - well thought out to make wheeled suitcases easy to pull; also stylish. Bed was super comfortable, AC very effective, room was kept immaculately clean by friendly cleaning staff. Friendly staff served breakfast and in the roof top bar which was amazing, with 360degree views. Dipping pool and sun loungers were well-used; hard to get a lounger in time!
Downside: some very odd management decisions. Despite description on Trip there was no cafe, no lunch or dinner and not even bar snacks! I rang on the 2nd day to ask for a bottle of water … response “Madam, this is a 3* hotel. You only get a bottle of water on your first day”!! Bizarre. I was able to buy a $0.99 bottle from the bar for €2.50!
Breakfast: the ubiquitous coffee machine producing the most disgusting coffee - I tried all of them! In the end I risked tea and even the hot water had scum on it. I know I was not alone … bacon - HP sauce standing proud like a statue - no sausages, cooked tomato, fried egg etc! Pancakes and waffles - no syrup! Nice fresh bread rolls and croissants. Sliced cheese and packaged ham. Selection of cereals, orange juice and good selection of fruit. After 5 breakfasts I got fed up.
WARNING - I was asked to give them my debit card to pay - she wrote down all the details! After I thought - why? I asked why - she said do they could charge me after I left if anything was missing or broken. I was assured this was legal in Portugal! I told them that was what “checkout” was for! I froze my card but I was really angry and when I have time to get a replacement I will need to cancel it!
Balcony nice but only looked onto other rooms! Looking down - WHY NO GARDEN???!!! Just rooftops.
I recommend a 4 hour boat trip …. Maybe 30m pleasant walk. Also hire bikes and go to the Nature Reserve - don’t miss Roman Salt Pits and beach crabs ….😊
YYaoThe best four-star hotel, I will go to portimao again because of this hotel, there is a very comfortable balcony, there is a swimming pool upstairs, the hotel also has a free shuttle bus to the beach, there is also a spa but you need to book in advance, the breakfast is also very rich and fresh. There is also a well-equipped gym, everything is very complete. It is also very close to the starting point of the pier to take a boat to see the caves and dolphins, just 3 minutes away. Great!
AAngel Del CampoThe hotel is very comfortable and the rooms are very comfortable.
It is well parked at some apples at June dates and the centre pila nearby.
The worst thing: if you are with children is not recommended because stairs are dangerous.
The jacuzzi was broken.
The room was struck with a TV, the shower and the bathroom were broken danced but it could be used.
They don't make room, they don't change towels, they don't pick up the paperboard, I think they change it weekly.
Premiere the aesthetic comfort and we end up uncomfortable with the placement of clothes, baggage and bathroom.
GGuest UserLocation of hotel excellent. Had a marina view which was superb. Strange location of, and small reception area so time consuming checking in and trying to get info from desk as always a queue and only one staff working. Two very small elevators are the main source of access to higher floors. The bar was very well served and cheap for a hotel. Breakfasts excellent due to choice available. However too many people drink coffee so if you want tea you will be waiting amongst the scrum of coffee slurpers for quite a while. They need more coffee machines spread around the breakfast area to eliminate this. The pool in the spa is excellent but water cold. Good sauna also located there. The rooftop pool can be windy and surrounded by smokers! Not too good for a non smoker. They possibly need to allocate an area for this act although people would have to leave their loungers which is hard I suppose.
Faro is an excellent location and easy to get around from this hotel
GGuest UserBrilliantly located in Lagos, just set back from the port. Rooms are spotlessly clean and great amenities. Housekeeping crew tremendous and generally the staff are polite and on hand to help - 2 guys doing the concierge role were great. Breakfast was marvellous.
The only downside to my stay, was the spa facilities: both the steam room and sauna were out of order and the small poolside jacuzzi, was rather hit and miss.
That said, was great VFM and would certainly stay again.
JJenA Cozy Getaway with a Few Quirks
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Block C in a wonderful location near the beach. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our time there, as the bedroom was spacious and beautifully designed. However, there were a few quirks that left us slightly puzzled.
Locating the signage for the establishment proved to be a small challenge, but it added a sense of adventure to our experience.
Unfortunately, the air conditioning in our room left something to be desired. It struggled to keep the temperature comfortably cool, and we often found ourselves feeling a bit hot. It would be great if this aspect could be improved to ensure a more comfortable stay.
Nevertheless, spending evenings on the balcony was a delightfully cozy and relaxed experience. The ambiance was inviting and lent itself to unwinding after a day of exploration. The surrounding garden and environment added to the overall charm, and we truly appreciated the pleasant surroundings.
I highly recommend visiting this place for a minimum stay of 2 to 3 days. Anything less would make the trip feel rushed, as there is so much to explore and enjoy. Despite the minor quirks, our overall experience was enjoyable and memorable. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have stayed here and would gladly return for another visit.
GGuest UserBeautiful hotel in an excellent location on the waterfront, within easy walking distance of many local shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants, historical sites like the old town, and the local bus station which is handy for a bus to the airport. The hotel is very clean and well-presented, and has a very nice restaurant and rooftop bar. The rooms are large with a luxurious feel, however a gap under the door let in a significant amount of light and noise from the corridor, although the corridor and other areas of the hotel were generally very quiet. The hotel restaurant is good, however doesn't really have much for vegetarians, and nothing for vegans, and is generally limited in choice, which is disappointing as the dining room is very nice, and the staff are excellent. The restaurant is also more expensive than many of the surrounding restaurants which offer broader menus and more choice for those with dietary restrictions, so was not very appealing. In all, I found this hotel to be very pleasant, and good value for money, with excellent, friendly staff who accommodated me well with their perfect English.
