Nice Adult only hotel

The hotel is at the quieter end of the resort overlooking a beautiful wide sandy beach. We had a large clean bedroom with a big comfy bed and a good sized bathroom with powerful hot shower. Nice side sea view though the balcony is small in comparison to the bedroom but adequate. Tasty breakfast in the dining room overlooking the sea and lots of choice. We would definitely visit again.

Great adults only hotel overlooking the ocean

Really enjoyed our 10 night stay at the Oriental. The hotel enjoys an enviable position above the pristine beach with plenty of tables, chairs and loungers. There is an intetesting all day menu available & an extensive evening buffet. What stood out most though were the staff. Always smiling, helpful & ready to serve. We will definitely return.

Staff great, room nice with welcoming bottle of wine, walk right down to the beach with private access. Parking available but if no room showed us where to park one street over and safe. Clean place. Breakfast area very clean. Best buffet breakfast I have seen since living in the Middle East, everything fresh from fruit, cured meats, yogurt, beautiful local pastries and breads, variety of nuts cooked oatmeal- could not fault this place. Even had a gentleman playing piano during breakfast - not for everyone but we enjoyed it.

Nice stay.

The room was nice. Large, a sofa, twin beds pushed together. Nice bathroom, nice large balcony looking with great view of the beach and the ocean. The layout of the hotel was weird, not an easy flow. Large dining area with buffet breakfast and dinner and live music with a set play list.. We are not fond of buffets so the food was on par with our expectations. The staff was good but not exceptional.

Non ci torneremo mai più

Molto gradevole e professionale l’accoglienza del personale preposto al check-in. L’hotel si trova in una bellissima posizione di Portimao, godendo di una splendida vista sull’oceano. Purtroppo la nostra camera è risultata differente da quella prenotata sul sito e, soprattutto, con un odore nauseabondo di acqua sporca utilizzata per lavare, tra l’altro in modo maldestro il pavimento. La doccia era sporca. Inoltre la nostra stanza (601) è dotata di cassaforte, ma priva di serratura che deve essere chiesta in reception. Apprezzo tuttavia il fatto che la direzione ci abbia proposto di cambiare la stanza. Tuttavia ciò non toglie che la stanza deve essere consegnata in condizioni di pulizia. Il problema dell’odore di acqua sporca si è ripetuto anche nei giorni successivi e sebbene segnalato al personale, nulla è stato fatto di concreto. Peccato che questa esperienza è stata negativa, perché era la seconda volta che tornavamo presso questo struttura e per giunta con amici ai quali abbiamo parlato molto bene
