"Have a good back trip! Ana"
Pros:

We are now repeat guests, and we love love love staying at the PortoBay Falesia. Are there fancier hotels in the area - sure there are - but we always feel so welcome, comfortable and relaxed at the PortoBay. We've started to become familiar with the waiters and many of the long term staff at the hotel (who have also started to recognize us - haha), and they are always so pleasant. We enjoyed the new link between the fresher Blue Ocean, giving us more options of places to eat and space to enjoy ... but in the end we were happy just to stay local to the PortoBay. We are a family of 3 (8 year old). Everything is easy. Nothing over fancy ... but the evening menus at the Basilico (PortoBay) and the new Flor de Sal (Blue Ocean) are just fantastic! Big shout out to the whole reception team; also waiter and barman Michael, housekeeping Ana, and Filipa and the whole "fitness" team ... amazing energy!

Cons:

Okay - so for the first time I felt myself feeling a little annoyed, poolside ... normally so relaxed and easy, but for some reason the PortoBay has felt the need to introduce a "lifeguard" (who just seemed so bored and disengaged with everything going on). She didn't lift a finger to help the wonderful Filipa and her (also wonderful) water aerobics team. I've seen lifeguards walking around the pool, greeting guests, taking down umbrellas in the evening, tidying up, and just staying busy while keeping an eye on things. Not a single thing! She did nothing more that direct at every young budding pool-goer that "BALLS NOT ALLOWED!" (which I must admit, is actually a good thing - last year there was more plastic than water - so good to manage that) ... but damn, just a bit of chill! Engage a bit ... on that note - check out the received from the amazing Ana before we departed ...

Sehr schön, durchaus empfehlenswert, wenn auch überteuert
Pros:

Tolle Lage. Großzügiges Frühstück. Reichliches Abendbuffet. Servicepersonal aufmerksam.

Cons:

Ein Hotel dieser Kategorie sollte im Zimmer Wasserflaschen bereitstellen. Unverständlich, dass es am Strand Falesia direkt unterhalb des Hotels keinen Hotelbereich gibt bzw Bons für die lokalen Liegestuhlverleiher. Das Hotel ist mir insgesamt überteuert vorgenommen.

Pros:

Nagyon szép kilátás, elhelyezkedés .
Sok napozóágy ,kellemes medence .
Segítőkész személyzet.
A reggeli bőséges, és finom ,van laktózmentes rész is .

Cons:

A szobák hangosak ,az ajtó csapkodást,a szomszédokat nagyon hallani .
Mi első nap szobacserét is kértünk ,alattunk volt a konyha ,késő estig és hajnalban már lehetett hallani a csörömpölest ,turmix gépet.
De nagyon segítőkészek voltak egyből kaptunk masik szobát.

N é um hotel de praia, mas um espaço de descanso sem dispor de qualidade para complementar a ausência de praia
Pros:

Nada a referir, precisa de manutenção casas de banho e equipamentos

Cons:

Acesso à praia muito mau, escadaria com 113 degraus o q torna a disponibilidade quase nula
