Staff were incredibly friendly, especially the front desk who helped me spice a lost package and had it sent to the hotel. Breakfast was top notch and had an abundance of options. Amenities were also exceptional and there was always a chair by the pool to lounge. The sunset patio with the bar was also a great bonus. Incredible ocean views were unbelievable.

The property is beautiful. The room was clean and the staff amazing. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed every moment. The complimentary breakfast buffet was great and if you choose the dinner buffet well stocked and reasonably priced. There is nightly entertainment should you choose to stay on the resort. Albufeira is a close Uber ride so close for excursions and dinner in the old town. We will definitely return. Great experience.

Was an excellent stay. Both my pregnant wife and I felt very welcome. I had a treat for my birthday and a treat for my baby, the room was always spotless and breakfast, although busy and with some of the staff showing a bit of inexperience, was always great and the buffet was fresh and replenished constantly. Parking was the only thing i can really complain about as there wasn’t always parking nearby (with a pregnant wife i wish this wasn’t the case). Wish i booked a few extra days as 7 days felt short. Thank you for making our baby moon so enjoyable.

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!

We had a lovely stay at PortoBay Blue Ocean. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable, and we loved the beautiful plants and trees around the hotel, it gave the place a very peaceful feel. The sunset views were stunning. Such a thoughtful touch when they surprised us with chocolate-covered strawberries and orange juice for a birthday — it made the stay extra special! The variety if options at the breakfast buffet was also good.

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 really like this hotel that’s why I came back for the second time this year. Area is absolutely beautiful, good breakfast, nice pool and spa. The only thing I would improve is staff attitude. I do understand not everyone comes from hospitality background but it’s management responsibility to train staff better. When I had to change rooms halfway through my stay informing staff in advance I faced a lot of strange made up issues and excuses saying I have to check out, wait two hours then check in again. It’s not how you handle in-house guests, you treat room changes as a priority not as a new booking. It’s strange that such a nice property won’t have better policies.
