First class in every aspect. Staff were brilliant and the property is as described. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. We would recommend the half-board option, simply because of the quality of the food and its price. There are plenty of food options elsewhere but you couldnt beat the quality and service. Highly recommended.

We loved this hotel. The staff were really friendly and attentive. The rooms were cleaned thoroughly each day. The pool area is lovely and it is easy to get sun loungers at pretty much any time of the day. There are steps next to the pool area which take you straight down to a beautiful beach. The food in the restaurant was great and there was lots of variety, each night there were plenty of vegetarian options as well as fish dishes for example. My partner has a peanut allergy and the chefs were helpful and accommodating with this. We booked a massage with the beautician that is based in the hotel which was excellent and really relaxing. The only slight issue we had was that our room was on a lower floor below a bar next door to the hotel and the music kept us up on one of the nights, but this isn't really in the hotel's control. Overall, we had an excellent stay.

This hotel is in great location. Direct beach access via a stair way . Close to town but away from the noisy night life so great balance .

We had an early check in offered to us which was kind .

The interior of hotel has a unique design - it would be great in the winter months with a pretty interior fountain and seating .

We had half board at a great price included in our package. The full price listing at 29 euros each was very expensive in my opinion and you could eat out locally for a lot less . The restaurant had a lovely view and outside seating.

All the staff in this hotel were friendly and helpful.

Very limited parking but we got free parking on the road in a walkable distance.

I would give this hotel a mixed review. Lots of great things overall though: good food and drinks, beautiful interior and grounds, love the easy access to beach and the yard with beach chairs, wonderful salon and spa. Our room was so disappointing though. The hotel has a very luxurious feel, but it’s an instant let down when you enter your room. The mattress was so hard and uncomfortable, old flat pillows, only instant coffee, no face cloths. It just felt like a very basic and cheap hotel room.

The double room we reserved and pre-paid, had garden access, but smelt of damp/mould/mildew with an acrid cleaning chemical odor note

Accepted another room, even though it was at a lower tarrif and had a sewage smell in the bathroom, the Manager demanded we sign a NDA document, and never offered to compensate in any way

Despite staying almost a week and paying for a second room (occupied by family members), the Manager treated us with distain, and avoided us on check-out.

One doesn’t need this arrogant attitude and rude approach when paying good money for a below-average 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.

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.

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.

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

Never coming back

Worst stay and service ever. Firstly I requested when I booked to be on the upper level of our partial view booking as we were celebrating our 40 years of marriage. When we arrived not only did they not honour our request( only hotel who did not in our 11 days travel in Portugal) but they put us in the worst room possible. They gave us room 30 which is located on the lower floor all by itself next to the fitness room and passage to restaurant and near the glass elevator. Everytime the elevator stopped we could heard a loud screeching sound.I guess the break hydraulics. The room was stuffy with very little light because it had a partition wall that blocked half the room with a stain sofa on the other side. The balcony was the smallest and right beside it was stairs for everyone to access the green sunbathing area.No privacy or quietness at all.There was no robes, ration of towels and more importantly only gave you a roll of toilet paper. Towels were awful quality and for paying half board the breakfast was not that great of a variety with only one person cleaning up.Oversll this hotel made me feel like I was on a cruise ship of seventies plus. My husband and I are in our early 60’s. There is a young front guy who needs extra coaching on customer service. When we first checked in he was present and saw us going in and out of the hotel several times and not once did he acknowledge with hello or ask how are day is going.I feel this hotel is struggling and cutting back on things.

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. The staff in this hotel are all so friendly and helpful.
Our room was bright airy and spacious and also had a balcony. The bed and pillows were comfortable. There was plenty of choice at breakfast, and a pianist playing every morning. We enjoyed a few of the Theme nights and found the dishes very authentic.
Architecturally, the hotel is stunning. It is in a quite area, has its own access to the beach and is close to bars and restaurants. All in all, we had a fabulous stay and hopefully we will return.

The AP Oriental Beach Hotel in Portimao is a beautifully well thought out property. The hotel has a tranquil atmosphere and is beautifully decorated in Moroccan inspired design.

The front desk staff were beyond amazing! Very helpful and spoke various languages.

I was travelling solo and felt safe.

The beach is easily accessed by stairs going directly down to the beach from the hotel.

My ocean view terrace was great for enjoying a morning coffee and evening cup of tea. I traveled during the winter - but still managed to enjoy a couple of beautiful sunsets and sunrises from the balcony.

The food served buffet style was plenty and the variety appealed to all taste buds - including vegetarian and I believe there were also gulten free options.

Highly recommend this hotel.

No children was great as we had offloaded ours for the trip. Arriving was such a pleasant experience - offered a glass of wine and the staff were so attentive. Right next to the beach with a sea view - perfect.
The only negative is that the atmosphere in the restaurant is a bit like a cruise ship, older clientele, quite old fashioned, so one night we skipped the half board and went out to eat on the beach front which is a 1 minute walk down the steps. Four or five restaurants on the beach which are really good. Great cocktails.
All in all 5 stars.

Things that we found unacceptable for a 4 star hotel:
- Check-in - it was a terrible experience. We waited for about 1h, at one point there were 4 other workers looking idle at the person on the computer checking in.
- No parking - had to drive around and pray for a place. This ruined the experience.
- coffee is an extra for breakfast (!!)
- juices were not fresh on breakfast.

Avoid the food buffets.

We enjoyed the beach, pool, grass sun umbrellas —-and the great location, plus the balcony with partial ocean view. (Jr suite)
The lobby is pretty, and the staff is friendly upon check in.
My husband ordered ice to the room. He was charged at the door for service of 5 euro. Mini bucket! This was our 8th hotel in Europe and none of them had charged for ice. He usually tips well, but this time he obviously didn’t !
Breakfast was included in the rate, but the buffet was really lame, low quality items, especially meats and breads. Coffee was from a machine. Espresso had instant crystals in the bottom of the cup, and the cappuccino tasted like sweet convenience store fake-ness. It felt like an all inclusive without much included.
We noticed many guests eating the dinner buffet, too. Glad we avoided evenings here altogether, since many nice restaurants are walking distance on the boardwalk and charming street.

This was our first trip to Portugal to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. This hotel was absolutely perfect. Good location, near the beach and away from the busy end of the “strip”. The staff were phenomenal, all of them. We were offered Prosecco on arrival and made to feel very welcomed. The managers went out of their way to speak to each guest at breakfast and they remembered names. Very impressive. Special mention has to go to Paolo who sorted out our slightly delayed check in, which was not the hotel’s fault. Paolo upgraded us to a wonderful sea view room which he didn’t have to do, but we appreciated it nevertheless. The room was lovely, spacious, clean and I have to say had one of the best showers I’ve ever experienced. For my husband’s birthday, at dinner, the management surprised him with a mini cake and bottle of bubbly. The attention to detail was amazing. We will return. We had a great time here and didn’t want to leave.

Disappointed

Wouldn't call it 5star service by any stretch of the imagination. The hotel says it has parking, what it doesn't tell you is that it has 3 dedicated spaces otherwise you have to drive round looking to park on the street 5-10min walk away. Check-in not 24hrs so don't bother turning up earlier than 3. No late check out rudely told to check after breakfast on the day of check out, then proceeded to \"check\" the system to see what time the next people were due to check into our room before being told no. Breakfast was just about 3star. Had to leave a deposit to get a beach towel. Overall disappointed and glad we used our free nights to stay, no way worth paying full price.

The atmosphere of this small hotel was warm and friendly, the food food and staff very helpful. Views of the beach are stunning.

A Charming Slice of Paradise!

This hotel is a real charmer with great character yet modernised to suit the needs of discerning travellers and set right on the beautiful Praia da Rocha beach. The large bedroom with its modern shower room had a sea facing balcony with fabulous views across the beach. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, particularly Paolo and the general manager made the the time to come and chat to guests during breakfast. The hotel has a fabulous pool area with stairs leading right onto the beach. The food was excellent and varied throughout our stay and included Portuguese dishes within a wide choice of other dishes to suit all tastes. For a really relaxing and most enjoyable holiday in the sun, it’s simply one of the best places we have stayed!’

I spent a few days at Hotel Oriental. It was a great choice and I would definitely go back. The location is perfect, on a beautiful beach, and also close to shops and restaurants. The food is simply amazing. We had half board and I think I never ate so much in my life. Not only there was a big choice and variety of food, but it was also really good and fresh. The staff is super nice and helpful, from the guys at the reception to the restaurant staff. The room is nice and clean. I can 100% recommend Hotel Oriental

Comfortable faded elegance

Very welcome bit of comfort after 5 nights on a boat. Great reception, great location, newly refurbished room with beautiful sea view. Superb view out over the sea from the restaurant it was just a shame the buffet style evening meal was only adequate.
