Ideally situated for access to all amenities along the waterfront at Olhao. Staff were very helpful and informative when needed. We stayed on a B&B basis and the breakfast was v good, with lots of choice. Restaurant was available with a choice of meals on a buffet basis. All in all, an excellent hotel for hosting a stay exploring the area.

Great hotel. Very friendly staff, excellent choice of breakfast options (including the prosecco bucket). Outside pool area great for relaxing and swimming. Only slight niggle for us was having to pay to access the sauna and steam room although given how hot it was not sure we have actually used it.

The Real Marina is a great hotel, whose staff go above and beyond at their jobs. The rooms are big, clean, and have AC. Bed is comfortable, and the bathrooms are spotless. The free internet has enough bandwidth to stream content if needs be. The hotel is not too far from numerous restaurants in Olhao, and it is perfectly positioned for getting a water taxi to the beaches, and the seafood festival. The only negatives I have with my stay there are to do with the bar. The prices of drinks were inconsistent (I paid ā‚¬15 for a beer and Coke the first day, then ā‚¬9 at another occasion), and the food options at lunch were not great.

We have been to this hotel many times as we live OlhĆ£o. Hotel still really good but some areas could do with TLC especially around the pool area. Disappointing they removed the fresh orange machine for breakfast. Also as a multiple time returner a 'welcome back' when you check in would be good.

You canā€™t fault the staff at every level, the rooms are a good size and the sea views are great, although some of the carpets are getting a bit thread bare with over use, and a few repairs and replacements wouldnā€™t go amiss considering its status as a 5 star hotel, canā€™t really call it shabby chic, you do have to watch out at weekends for the dance club across the road that likes to keep you entertained until the early hours, and doesnā€™t really make any difference even if you close the window. Great on location for the old town and easy access to the ferries though. An entertaining stay.

Very nice location and friendly staff. Rooms are were well appointed. The hotel is within walking distance to ref shops, restaurants, and the marina. The restaurant at the hotel was very good. We booked two rooms and the second room was not ready at check in time. Staff was very apologetic and offered a few free drinks for the inconvenience. The AC in the hotel had gone out shortly before we checked in so the rooms were hot. It took several hours after it was fixed for the rooms to cool down. Despite the minor issues, we would love to return when we can spend a few more days and enjoy the area.
