Porto Bay Falesia

Lovely location, rooms entire hotel, pool areas, restaurants even corridors were spotlessly clean and decorated well. All staff are a real credit to you from maids, waiting staff, spa staff to reception staff friendly, helpful and courteous. An absolute delight best hotel experience I have ever had, well done and thank you for a great time.

This was our 2nd visit to this area and to the fabulous Porto Bay Falesia. Super place for a rest during Easter holidays 2018. Although the weather wasn't the best the hotel as our previous visit was on top form! Super clean throughout with efficiency to match. The staff are really friendly and go the extra mile with information and assistance should you need it. We stayed on a B&B basis and took the offer of the hotel evening meal deal for 3 of our 7 nights this was reasonable priced in our opinion as they were themed evenings buffet style so you could have as much or as little as you liked with plenty of choices to suit all pallets. Breakfast was buffet style and again plentiful and well presented. One of our evenings we did take room service as the weather was so inclement and again this was excellent and delivered quickly. Our last evening we dined at the hotel's Italian restaurant Il Basiilico this food was worthy of 5 stars in itself. The restaurant doubles as the pool side bar during daytime hours but takes on a whole different atmosphere in the evenings. Overhead heaters and laid-back contemporary classy music adds to the ambience. The hotels location is one of the best. Situated on the Falesia with plenty of outside seating areas to enjoy the sound and vision of the Atlantic waves. One addition to the hotel which I don't remember from our previous visit was the inclusion of Ritual toiletries in the rooms this I think is an indication of how this hotel strives to be at its best every time moving on from the stereo typical "own-brand" lotions and potions. Only a small thing but duly noted all the same! For fitness fanatics the gym at the hotel has everything you would need to work off any over indulgence at breakfast, lunch or dinner! Olhos D'Agua itself is worth a visit (just follow the road down to the town from the hotel) just a pity it appears a little frayed around the edges although beach side is very pretty with restaurants, a few shops, cafes and bars. If you have the energy after a couple of days re-charging the batteries you can walk the beach into Villamoura we did it this time around and it was well worth it to boost the intake of sea air. Just the one pit stop en route for a Pastel de Nata and Coffee at Rocha Baixinha Beach Restaurant. I must confess though we did catch the bus back to Olhos at the end of the day as after grabbing lunch in one of the harbourside restaurants and a spot of retail therapy the beach walk back did seem a step too far (if you'll pardon the pun!) All in all another fantastic restful 7 day holiday spent at the Porto Bay Falesia with our thanks to the Management and Staff who take pride in what they do. We are looking forward to our next visit already!!
