We have been coming to PortoBay Falesia for several years. We are checking-out today and are already missing the stunning front sea views with colourful clifs and excellent customer service. This time, we would like to extend a special thank you to Mr Pedro Esteves for his professionalism and care, a reflection of PortoBay Falesia's hospitality.

This hotel is amazing in every way. The location to the beach is stunning a short walk away and then into Olhos de Agua village five minutes away with a really good choice of restaurants. The location is peaceful. Hotel staff wonderful and we will return for a third year as will be hard to beat. So many golf courses around to choose from

We had a wonderful 8 night stay - no complaints whatsoever. Room was great and the staff very friendly! This was our first trip to Portugal and we’re so happy we chose this hotel. The landscaping, the pool, the various places to relax, I could go on and on. Highly recommend!

Was here end of May and was just the hotel I wanted: quiet, clean but with pool and beach access.
The beach was a bit of a trek down a lot of stairs, but well worth it. Try and find the Olhos d'Agua at low tide.
Food is ok, but there are decent alternatives in the nearby town..
Definitely recommended for a chill break, but with easy taxi ride to the nightlife of Albufeira.

Great location! Beautiful beach right down the steps. Loved the quiet atmosphere of the pool area. Many places to relax. We had a car, so drove to see the coast, from Sagres to Tavira. Stopped at many towns along the way. You must visit Praia do Rocha, Tavira, Sagres, Salema. Spent one day golfing at Sagados. From the course you can see the beach and boardwalk of Salgados.
Porto Bay Hotel had lots of free parking, lovely breakfast and dinner at Basilico. We did not do the buffet dinner during our 6 night stay. Walked up the street a few times. Lots of places to eat.

Overall we had a positive experience. The hotel is dated and needs updating (which is apparently happening this fall). The rooms are all carpeted which is notoriously difficult to clean. That being said, the beds were comfortable. Everything is spotless, they are always cleaning and house keeping was excellent.
The breakfast was great, nice to have it included. Waitstaff is almost too attentive, constantly coming by to clear your plates. We had the dinner buffet two nights and I was not impressed. Options were limited and I felt there were better options outside the resort. Granted walking to local restaurants isn’t ideal for those with mobility issues (hills, uneven terrain), but the food was great and reasonably priced.
The bjggest letdown about Portugal as a whole? The beaches are amazing but the water is absolutely freezing! I am not exaggerating when I say it can’t be above 60 degrees. Sadly we couldn’t even enjoy the water because it was unbearable.

Pros:
- hotel location, walkable to restaurants and shops. Around 10/15mins drive from the old town.
- access to the beach (you do have to pay €10 to rent a sun bed)
- breakfast was great with loads of veg and gluten free options.
Cons:
- rooms are quite dated, if you can afford to upgrade to a larger room they usually have the renovated showers.
- bed was awful on our back! We did complain as the mattress was really worn down but nothing was done.
- shower head was leaking through to the floor.
