Alcaria Cova Hotels, Faro

"All areas clean and welcoming. Good size rooms and comfy beds. Friendly and helpful staff. Good choices for breakfast. Excellent location 10 mins max to centre Pool looked good but didn't use it myself. Would not hesitate to go back."

"Lots to do and see in the area. Easy walking to more places. "

"Great location and breakfast but the room was dated and smelled like sewer. The ac did not work and the construction next door shook our room. "

"Great kitchen "

"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."

"Gorgeous relaxing property! "

"The room was nice but be careful of the bathroom slide door I got trapped behind a faulty door. The staff were friendly and welcoming . Location of the hotel was good."

"Indoor pool is fabulous "
