São Barnabé Hotels

"Spa was relaxing. Staff very helpful and very clean room. "

"All areas clean and welcoming. Good size rooms and comfy beds. Friendly and helpful staff. Good choices for breakfast. Excellent location 10 mins max to centre Pool looked good but didn't use it myself. Would not hesitate to go back."

"We were very happy with our stay at Portobay Blue Ocean hotel. Found it to be very clean inside and the outer gardens and swimming pool were very well kept. All staff were very nice and friendly, often saying hello when walking past. We had the buffet breakfast which was always good, with fresh fruit and nice bakery bits. We once had the buffet evening meal, which I found all very nice. Didn't use their restaurants as menu didn't peek my interest and we're always dead. The sunset bar and upper swimming pool have fantastic views. There wasn't a huge amount to do in the area apart from the beaches, with a lot of places closed but appreciate we did go 'out of season'. There is a great wooden walk way that goes down to the beaches but is quite rough terrain in places so you do need to be 'active' and have suitable footwear."

"The staff were all very approachable and helpful. The whole site is very clean. The beach is just outside in front, which is super. The complimentary drinks in Real Bar were also nice. There are some not so great aspects, such as limited selections for breakfast (but considering we went during the low season, it's more or less ok with us), and simply no wifi connection at all beyond the hall way in our room. The latter bit is a bit unacceptable and disappointing for a five star resort."

"Gorgeous relaxing property! "

"Indoor pool is fabulous "

"The hotel is situated in a quiet neighbourhood minutes walk from shops and the Vilamoura Marina. Lovely hotel, clean, spacious rooms with very comfortable beds. The bathroom was immaculate and the housekeeping could not have been more helpful with a blanket as a couple of nights were a little chilly. The restaurant was good with lots of options for breakfast but the most outstanding feature were the staff, who looked after a solo traveller very well - advising on places to visit ( market days) and the general layout of the immediate vicinity and they are Luisa, Cesar, Andre and Renato. Amazing !"
