"We just came back from PortoBay Blue Ocean and we had a lovely time. The hotel is very nice, airy and has a lovely atmosphere… very relaxed even thought it was quite busy. It does have different areas and all of them were very nice and you could relax. The breakfast is good… nice variety… I would only say that the quality of the cold meats could be better. The room was lovely, spacious. Only mentioned the the fridge wasn’t too cold and sometimes had a bad smell but it wasn’t always and it would disappear quickly so we didn’t make a fuss of it. I would recommend the hotel if you are looking for a relaxed holiday with an easy access to one of the best beaches in the Algarve"

"The hotel was good, staff were excellent. The reason I can't give a five star is because if your staying at a hotel you shouldn't have to pay for a beach chair, plus when we arrived we were told 13 euros for half day and 26 euros for entire day but when we got to the beach they said 30 euros. Moreover, I got to the beach around 1230 pm and I still got charged for a full day."
