Top Maria Luisa Beach Hotel Reviews

PortoBay Blue Ocean

PortoBay Blue Ocean

10/10 Excellent
"Our first impressions of the hotel were really good. There is a very large lobby and were treated by the reception staff when we checked in. The rooms are very large and have great amenities. We had a room over looking the sunset bar with partial sea view and could not complain. The rooms were modern and very quiet. The cleaning staff were amazing, especially Rosa who cleaned our room most days. The room has tea and coffee making facilities and Rituals soap products. There was a great selection of food at breakfast. The best time to go is before 9am, as it gets very busy between 9-10am. The hotel has 3 pools. A main pool with smaller pool for children and a jacuzzi, a pool just for adults and an indoor heated pool. There is also a gym, 3 restaurants and you are able to access the facilites from the nearby Portobay Falésia hotel which is access through a wooden walkway. The beaches are easily accessible from the hotel, and beach towels are provided by the hotel. There are some excellent restaurants a short walk away from the hotel, and Vilamoura and Albuferia can be access by a short bus/taxi ride."

10/10 Excellent
"Nice property that served us well for the one night thay we wanted to stay here. The rooms are apartments with a small kitchen. The room was clean and had enough space for six for the one night. The central pool is nice and works well for a short period, but has limited attraction for longer periods. A strength of this property is that it is close to the beach, with it accessed by steps. This also has a beach restaurant which was nice. The intermarche supermarket is under ten minutes walk away."
