While this is a large resort and meals can get a bit crowded, Blue Ocean could be rated five stars for its great offerings: infinity pool with padded lounge chairs; fantastic food choices; beautiful grounds; and great views of ocean and cliffs. Access to beaches quite steep with lots of steps. Will definitely stay again!

It is a beautiful hotel, well located and I got a gorgeous room overlooking the pools and sea. First hotel I've stayed in where the bed was comfortable, the room was quiet despite the number of guests. The staff were feiendly and the buffet breakfast was consistently good. It is away from the crowds of main Albufeira and yet it is easy to travel around as a base. I even took a coach trip to Seville for the day! It is a beautiful property inside and outside and probably the best hotel in the area. You won't regret it.

I want to particularly shout out that we stayed in the low season (Nov) and the hotel still offered fitness class like yoga everyday. I had the lovely yoga class outdoor in the hotel garden by the ocean.

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.
