We enjoyed very much staying at PortoBay. It is how hotel should be like, clean comfortable room and friendly staff. I want to particularly shout out that we stayed in the low season (Nov) and the hotel still offered fitness class like yoga everyday. I had the lovely yoga class outdoor in the hotel garden by the ocean.

Rnjoyed our first stay with Porto Blue Ocean, was an anniversary weekend and they suprised us with a nice bottle of Brut and chocolate strawberries. Hotel was super clean, well decorated and staff friendly and attentive. Food was good and as we stayed in Nov we practically had the place to ourselves. Got to enjoy the indoor pool and gym.

The room was spotless, hotel pools were lovely, great food and helpful staff. Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice. The only thing that annoyed us was the many people queuing to sit outside to eat there breakfast..the staff allowed them to gather literally over guests who had just started their breakfast, so it felt rushed. Plenty of spaces inside or the staff should of managed the queue if people are persistent on eating outside. Felt uncomfortable.
