Hotels near Algar das Baratas, Portimao

When I had my accident I felt isolated and unsure and than the staff came up to me and made me feel secure and happy, nothing was to much for them, they were all so kind and good heart to me, and now I don't want to go home. Special thanks to the beautiful lady with a beautiful smile, lady Mafalda

Having read some of the reviews, I’ve come to the conclusion that people want 5 star accommodation at 2/3 star prices. It really is as simple as that. I struggled to understand why this hotel was a 2 star; in my opinion a 3 would have been much more accurate and fair. The apartment I stayed in was the biggest I’ve ever had on holiday - two balconies, and three separate rooms (kitchen/dining space, bedroom and bathroom) - kitchens have clearly been refurbished recently - modern and with induction hobs. There’s a microwave, toaster and ample cooking utensils. I’ve seen some complaints about this in other reviews - the only thing I would say to that is that there were inconsistencies with the amount of plates, bowls etc in the cupboards. So feedback here would be to check the apartments regularly to re-stock any missing items. The TV is Smart, so you can access all the usual streaming platforms. Cleaning was every day and the staff were fantastic - always pleasant, knocked before entering and were happy to provide extra items like toilet roll if you asked them. The pool area is clean and the bar is cheap as regards drinks and snacks/simple meals. There’s a free bus twice a day to Praia De Rocha and Portamao and back if you want to go into the town centre or go to the beach. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to either and it’s perfectly do-able - failing that an Uber is about 5 Euro one way. The only reason - and it is the only reason - I am not giving 5 stars is that there is, regrettably, an issue with a villa located on the opposite side of the hotel entrance where dogs are left outside barking throughout the night. Reference has been made to this in other reviews. One particular night it was beyond intolerable and I managed less than 2 hours sleep. It was better on most other evenings - but I was still woken up at least twice a night by it. Earplugs did help, however. It’s a real shame for the hotel but I feel it’s only right to mention it, so don’t forget to pack yourself a pair!

We have just stayed here for a week to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday, the hotel was so fresh, clean and very modern. The staff were very helpful and so friendly, they even gave us champagne and a cake on my husbands birthday. We had a deluxe sea view triple room and the view was absolutely stunning. If I had to say anything negative it would be to say there are no drawers for clothes, just shelves and a wardrobe, there was coffee cups and a kettle but no spoons, also just be careful when booking as not all rooms have balconies, some are very small so just double check if this is important to you. The pool area is beautiful and very peaceful and the bar food was delicious.

Warm service, excellent location, large hotel, large suite area and large balcony. The facilities are slightly outdated, and the style of the rooms is obviously a decades-old hotel

Beautiful property right on Praia da Rocha. Excellent service at check-in, was given a quick tour of the lobby and room by a wonderful gentleman. Beautiful and tidy room, stunning view from balcony, though the small bathroom window opens into the corridor and at times there is an unpleasant odour from a pipe in the toilet. Breakfast was adequate and delicious, staff were helpful and nice. Overall a great place to stay!

A truly great experience!! Room was comfortable and housekeeping excellent. Well placed with a view of the Marina. The highlight of each morning of my 5 night stay was the Breakfast. Fantastic choice and everything well cooked and presented. The staff, particularly the trainees, were always friendly and obliging. I couldn't fault anything about the Breakfast at all. The situation of the Hotel was ideal for me but might not suit everyone as it was sited out of the Town. A beautiful beach was adjacent to the Hotel and even out of season there were a variety of Restaurants nearby. All staff, the Receptionists, Restaurant staff and Housekeeping were outstanding, always greeted me with a smile and very helpful.

Overall it was a good experience. The bedroom with bathroom includes a living room and a small kitchen. Access conditions to the SPA could be better, as we have to walk more than half the way along the street no matter which route we take, which becomes cold and unpleasant, perhaps covering the sides of the corridors and the passage on one side of the hotel for the other was a good option. The same happens when going to the restaurant. Many children in the pool and jacuzzi, jumping into the pool and running around the pool, which makes the space not very pleasant to use. Breakfast is good, lots of bread, sweets, pastries and a coffee machine. However, for a 4* star hotel, there is little variety of fruit, there is no smoked salmon, avocado, or options for people with celiac disease, lactose-free milk only on request. Very friendly staff and excellent cleaning!

We got a deal on this place so decided to take the gamble and go. We were not disappointed. We loved it. The place is in the middle of no where but that didn't bother us. There is a minibus service early morning and late afternoon but to be honest Uber is only 7 euros into the town. Fab pool area that wasn't crowded and loved the pool bar and eatery. The villa was up 3 flights of stairs but again that didn't bother us because the villa was massive and clean. The staff are also very nice and helpful. There are 2 or 3 bars a half a mile away and walking on an evening was a pleasure. We also walked to the beach which takes a good 30 minutes but we enjoyed the walk. There is a fantastic restaurant opposite the site gates and a fantastic restaurant on the beach, but beware, they are very expensive. You will struggle to keep a meal for 2 under 150 euros in either of them. The 2 or 3 bars nearby mainly do pizza and a pizza is circa 15 euros. This isolation of this place won't be for everyone, but we loved it and will be back.

The hotel is again great, nice rooms, friendly helpful staff. Maintenance is still lacking a bit, although some progress was made. Due to lack of rain/water the golf course is dry and golf is played on the roots of the grass. Last year october it was green with large dry patches, this year it is just dry except for the greens. Looks like the effect of climate change is increasing and next year October we will not come again under these conditions.

Excellent location. Very attentive, friendly and professional service. Spacious, well equipped and beautifully decorated rooms. Sensory SPA, it was a great and relaxing experience. Breakfast with several options to choose from and with a lot of quality. Great outdoor pools, one of them covered and heated for those colder days. Realy hard to get out of there! Activities organized by the resort, we chose a walk that was very worthwhile.
