Sao Bartolomeu de Messines hotel rooms a the Highgate Independent

"This is an amazing hotel "

"Fantastic breakfast, nice big room on the sea. "

"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."

"Gorgeous relaxing property! "

"Indoor pool is fabulous "

"Excellent accommodation that exceeded our expectations but unfortunately the main idea of our stay was to enjoy the wellness facilities which were closed and we should have been informed prior to arrival. Being in February and the weather not being warm enough to enjoy the outdoor pool ( or beaches ) we definitely were looking forward to enjoying sauna and jacuzzi as well as indoor pool . We would have chosen another resort should we have known."

"Large rooms and treats at desk"

"Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. Breakfast is an absolute highlight, easily the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had & the view is amazing. The beach and pools are fabulous & the entire resort is very peaceful. Loved the Padel courts also! "

"Room was beautiful, staff friendly and welcoming, views were also amazing. Would reccomend and will definitely be coming back."
