This hotel is outdated and doesn't deserve its 5-star rating; it's more like a 2 or 3-star property. We stayed for 2 nights and didn't have any hot water, so we had to take cold showers in winter at a supposedly 5-star hotel! I mentioned this at the reception to request a commercial gesture, but the manager wasn't there. I left my number, and so far, no one has contacted me! The breakfast was decent enough, and the beach view was absolutely lovely. When I made my reservation, I requested an upstairs room, but we were given a ground-floor room. I'm disappointed with this stay and wouldn't recommend it.
Overall it is a solid 4.5 star hotel and experience. The location is unbeatable, with breath-taking beach and sea view just off the front desk, as well as our beach room. The beach room is highly recommended for someone into the ocean view. The facility and staff are great. The Mercado even sells medicine (we got Gasvicon) which my wife could use the day we were there. The only downside that makes it not a full 5 star is that the room, decoration, and furniture are a bit outdated.
Once called the Alvor Luna Bay when bedrooms seemed larger!!! Renamed and reshaped. Swishly refurbed as new. Now the main problem is the lack of storage in what seem smaller bedrooms despite voluminous balconies. Simply, storage is inadequate for two guests for longer than a week, maximum. Let me describe............ a small [4feet tall?] open metal wardrobe rail with five fixed point clothes hangers. Four or five open shelves beside this rail., one occupied by the rooms safe. In all other respects its fine. The staff good and plentiful and helpful. The location the best in town!
Another great stay in Sagres. We love this hotel. It is our second stay here and will return. We had an apartment overlooking the pool and ocean. Great for watching the sunset. There was a kitchenette, a living room, balcony, bedroom with 2 twin beds and bathroom. It was perfect for us. Great value for the money.
We booked a resort view with a balcony got a ground floor with decking. The bedroom was a bit strange, the bathroom had a glass wall at the shower with a curtain in the bedroom covering it????? Cleaning of the room daily was very late could be as late as 3 or 4 pm in the day. We booked all inclusive, the food was amazing and there was always seemed to be food available. Buffet dinner was the best option. The drink selection was varied and non stop, all bars closed by 12 pm. Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. Rooftop bar, pool bar and restaurant staff were friendly, but found a few of the staff in the main bar were unfriendly. I would fully recommend this hotel and are thinking of booking it again for next year.
The hotel has a swimming pool, but the grass separating the swimming pool is full of mosquitoes and bugs. The temperature of the swimming pool is still quite cold in mid-March, which is not suitable for swimming. The hotel is located opposite the beach, so it is 25 minutes away from the city center. It is quite dark when walking back to the hotel at night, which feels a little dangerous. The room is large, with a good sense of space, a terrace and enough storage space, just like the pictures. The only drawback is that there is no hair dryer. If you go to the reception to pick it up long before the daily check-in time, it will have been rented out. The room has a kitchen with enough kitchenware, but you need to clean it yourself. Otherwise, you need to pay the cleaning fee in advance at the reception.
Hotel has great facilities and was very clean, though we were disappointed to realise that due to unsafe cliffs, it no longer offered direct access to the beach. Service should really be improved for such an expensive hotel:
1. Reception gave us 2 twin beds even though we specifically made a request at booking for double bed
2. Restaurants got my coffee orders wrong on multiple occasions throughout the stay
3. During the saturday bbq night, the hostess Priscilla made up a poor excuse not to give us a poolside table even though we were one of the earliest guests there. Her excuse was the remaining poolside tables were reserved for 4 families with dogs. We didn't see a single dog during the entire course of 2 hours, and the tables were given away to other couples for reasons unknown. This incident really upset us, and the fact that she had the audacity to make up such an excuse is appalling.
4. Gratuity was charged at 7.5% for every item, which is fine but what left a bad taste in the mouth is the hotel did it without informing customers upfront.
Comfortable room, nice staff, river views of Spain's Sanlucar de Guadiana makes this hotel thoroughly worthwhile, even if it is located a bit out of the old town of Alcoutim (10-15 minutes walk).
I cannot fault this hotel at all. From the check-in to checkout we had a lovely stay, the room was lovely and the bed very comfortable, it was spotless as was the well equipped bathroom. Also I was surprised that the breakfast was so good, ripe fruit, cereals, pastries, meats and a hot selection too. I was extremely impressed with this hotel, I have stayed in other hotels which cost a lot more and they weren’t as good as this.
Excellent ! It's to repeat! The only one otherwise, the solelua restaurant, the doses are small, the service was perfect, but as far as the menu is back I will choose one of the other restaurants available!

The hotel is at a very good location beside the beach. Free parking by hotel is nearby. Very good breakfast. We enjoy the place very much.
Excellent location minutes walk from the city centre and overlooking the marina. Room was fabulous - upgraded although we didn’t ask for an upgrade. Although the room wasn’t ready the receptionist said he would ring us when the room was ready and he did just that. Rooftop swimming pool and solarium is a real bonus and the gym is well equipped. Breakfast is buffet style and has an excellent choice. Dining room overlooks harbour and being serenaded by Andres piano playing at breakfast was the icing on the cake.
Former Porta Nova Hotel since 2017 completely remodeled. Free breakfast, free Sauna and Turkish bath, free indoor and outdoor pool makes this place a bargain if you can get reasonable rates (65€ we paid per night). Buffet dinner 29€/Person + drinks is overpriced (local restaurant dinner incl. drinks is 15-20€/Person) Breakfast buffet has huge selection, made to order eggs and stuff is a real plus. Parking (still) free (incl. the roadside). Very nice personell all over - high recommened for Tavira! I recomend ”Restraurante O Simao” in residential area
Perfect airport hotel with beach access – and booked flawlessly through Trip.com! ★★★★★ I picked this hotel for an early 6 a.m. flight out of Faro Airport, and it was the ideal choice. It’s only ~3 km from the terminal yet incredibly quiet – I never heard a single plane. The real surprise is the location: just a 1-minute walk to a beautiful beach with stunning sunsets and a few lovely beachfront bars and cafés. Check-in and check-out were fast and friendly. The English-speaking staff even helped carry my four heavy suitcases to the room without me asking. I got a decent sea-view room with plenty of space for all my luggage, effective air conditioning (that doubles as heating), and a bathroom with a bathtub. At 3 a.m. I easily got an Uber to the airport (tip: mention lots of luggage when booking the ride so a larger car is sent). A quick note on booking: I’m a long-time user of other booking websites, but this time I tried Trip.com for both the flight and the hotel. The pricing was completely transparent – exactly what you see is what you pay, with no nasty surprises at checkout like I’ve experienced elsewhere. I’m officially switching to Trip.com from now on! Fantastic value, perfect location, and wonderful staff. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I fly from Faro. Highly recommended! Obrigado! 🌅✈️
The hotel is just 14 mins walking from the beach. The room was big and very clean. Breakfast is simple but you can find everything. There is sauna and gym, free parking.
Very friendly staff, clean and new simple rooms. Breakfast has everything, fresh and tasty. Not far from the Center and not so far from Beaches. I would really recommend to stay in this nice designed Hotel.
The hotel was fantastic—spotlessly clean, with my room tidied daily. The breakfast and facilities were excellent. They also allowed me to store my luggage after check-out and continue using the swimming pool and lounge. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone!
