Hotel dengan Bar di Portimao

Llagamos sobre las 15h de la tarde y la persona de la recepción no encontraba nuestra reserva hecha a través de Trip.com. Con mucho cabreo e insistencia nos dijo que no podía hacer nada y que teníamos que contactar con Trip.com para solucionar la cosa con ellos (tras 9horas de viaje y todos los correos posibles de confirmación). Mientras que esperaba que los de Trip.com nos respondieran, nos llama otra persona diciendo que todo estaba en orden, que no la encontraban por un ”error informático”. Ni una disculpa, nada. La habitación no estaba mal, segunda planta, bien situada. Instalación del hotel vieja, las 5 estrellas no se merecen, sinceramente, es un 4 estrellas actual, para el precio pagado está bien. Desayuno a buffet bueno, servicio igual de bueno y atento. Tuvimos un problema un día que no hicieron la habitación, tuvimos que reclamar a las 19:30h y la limpiaron y hicieron muy de prisa (y de manera bastante ”ligera”), pero, bueno.... No podemos opinar sobre SPA, Gimnasio etc ya que no hemos probado esos servicios.

The Oceano Atlantico hotel is conveniently located in the rather picturesque Praia da Rocha area of Algarve. It is within walking distance of the beach (it takes approximately 15-20 minutes at a leisurely pace to get there) and there is also a Lidl store nearby. There are a number of football pitches and pools in the vicinity of the hotel, so it is likely to meet the expectations of people who are sports buffs. There were no problems pertaining to the check-in and the staff members were polite and attentive, with everyone being conversant in English. The rooms, which are akin to mini apartments, are rather spacious and all the necessary amenities are to be found, including towels, shampoo, soap, etc. There was a very wide selection of TV channels and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. I enjoyed the quality of the food (the variety was good as well, but there weren’t that many confectionery desserts) and appreciated that the dinner was buffet-style, which tends to be my preference. A few of the meals appeared to be distinctly Portuguese. This hotel (while not necessarily as luxurious as some of the ones in Lisbon) is likely to appeal to many different travelers. I will definitely be happy to return!

Arrived Friday midday, pleasant and helpful reception staff, easy check in and hotel looked recently renovated with well presented and modern lobby. We unpacked into a large two bed apartment, three flatscreens and sofa, large fridge freezer and all accessories required for comfortable self catering. We spent a nice afternoon at a quiet pool among other families and couples (pool is freezing cold). This is where the good news ended. Around 5pm two coach loads of students descended onto the hotel with shopping carts (actual shopping carts) loaded with speakers and party signs. Our stomachs sank as did our 7yr olds, intimidated by rowdy youths in the elevator. I enquired at the front desk as to the situation and was met with the news that the party had booked almost the entire hotel out of rooms. The Flor Da Rocha sells the rooms as part of a student party package at various times throughout the year, see screen grab. The sequence of events is as follows; two coaches arrive mid afternoon, the lobby and swimming pool both flood with loud students and then the speakers appear on the balcony’s facing the pool area blasting music. Short lull when they dissipate to the supermarket for alcohol then from 9pm (when the families are settling the children) the noise begins again with shouting / singing / Macarena etc etc. people hanging over balcony’s with guitars, clapping and jeering. No intervention from hotel staff whatsoever. It comes as no surprise the in room telephone also doesn’t work when trying to contact reception. The fact Jet2 are marketing this hotel as a family friendly holiday is ridiculous. No sleep for a family of four for the first two nights of a seven night holiday. We selected Praia Da Rocha as a family friendly alternative to the usual stag and hen locations, what possesses the place to host a two day student bender is beyond me. Unfortunately, this is the second time Jet2 have let us down and we should’ve known better than to travel with them again. The rest of the week was fine although the students continue to come and go, fortunately for us the rest seemed to be athletes / youth groups rather than organised party goers. Given time and money has been spent to update the hotel it’s a real shame they choose to recoup this at the detriment to family and couple guests in an otherwise quiet resort.

Hartanah yang menakjubkan terletak berhampiran pantai dan marina. Kakitangan benar-benar menjadikan pengalaman itu menyeronokkan untuk kami dan kami sangat menyukai kolam renang atas bumbung! Saya akan mengesyorkan hotel ini kepada sesiapa sahaja yang datang ke Portimao!

房間很寬敞，環境也好，離海邊特別近，就是感覺很可笑的一點是我們訂的一間大床房入住兩個人很正常，但是酒店卻説要加錢，因為我們訂單上是一個人，最後被坑了50歐元，雖然送了早餐，但是心裏還是不舒服，我們訂的一間房又不是一張床，住一個人和住兩個人有什麼區別呢。另外早餐很敷衍，基本沒啥可吃的。

We are currently staying here and what a great hotel. Perfect location and extremely clean. All the staff are super friendly but a special mention to Marcelo, he has looked after us so well and always has a smile on his face. Big thank you Marcelo you legend!!!

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.

Vitors plaza… what can i say we, had the most amazing time at this hotel and surrounding areas like alvor village, praia da rocha! Slip and slide the boat excursion! All booked via the hotel with lots of helpful staff on hand! The bus was absolutely brilliant and always on time! The food was lovely the staff were so helpful no matter what you asked they were so polite and welcoming. The rooms are spotless! Cleaners came in everyday! The hotel itself is spotless! The pool was so much fun indoors and outdoors. We had the most amazing time and already looking to book to come back next year! Thank you for being amazing and welcoming! We miss it already!

Wouldn't stay again because of the deposit situation, firstly £200 is alot. I paid ours by debit card as I didn't want 200 euros handing to me at the end of the holiday. I saw the payment come out on my statement and thought no more of it. Expected my money refunded back the end of the week. What they don't tell you is that they put the money back in within 24 hours of you arriving but the transaction won't actually show on your statement anymore. Your balance will just increase and you won't realise where the money came from, so in my case it ended up getting spent! So 200 more than I budgeted for and yet no one even checks your room! Literally no one came and checked our room once, there isn't even a maid service so what even is the point of the deposit. Anyway let's move on to pros - We had a huge ground floor apartment with a very spacious balcony, biggest we've ever had which we were very grateful for. Apartment was clean with plenty of beds, extra pillows, utensils, fridge, microwave, cleaning equipment, toaster,oven. Bathroom with bath and shower. We had air con, modern tv with English channels, watched a few new blockbuster movies but wish we'd brought a fire stick. Nice pool area with kids pool. Didn't eat or drink at the bar but looked lively and welcoming. Beautiful beach nearby with some lovely bars overlooking it. Slide and splash water park is a must if you have children. No queues this time of year! Bonus. Nearby lidl and aldi (next door to each other) to do a big self catering shop. Stayed 7-14th October weather was glorious apart from the last day which was overcast. Also should give Taffy's bar and grill a mention, Welsh owners with lovely food and very cheap compared to the other restaurants. Cons - Deposit as mentioned No cleaner or fresh towels (didn't really mind this) but I know some people will. Our apartment was facing the football field at the back with loud music (some absolute tunes to be fair) but the football matches were loud and could go on until pretty late some days. Rooms not sound proof (again didn't bother me as I always take ear plugs) All in all I got a bargain for a family of 5 and had a glorious week of weather in a clean spacious apartment. If it wasn't for the deposit I would of rated my stay higher Tips - take a small bottle of washing up liquid and a sponge to save you buying these. Also take a little bottle of cooking oil if you intend on having a fry up or you'll end up leaving a barely touched huge bottle behind. I forget this every single time and it annoys me greatly, hopefully writing this will help me remember next time ha ha.
