We had a wonderful 8 night stay - no complaints whatsoever. Room was great and the staff very friendly! This was our first trip to Portugal and we’re so happy we chose this hotel. The landscaping, the pool, the various places to relax, I could go on and on. Highly recommend!

Pros: - hotel location, walkable to restaurants and shops. Around 10/15mins drive from the old town. - access to the beach (you do have to pay €10 to rent a sun bed) - breakfast was great with loads of veg and gluten free options. Cons: - rooms are quite dated, if you can afford to upgrade to a larger room they usually have the renovated showers. - bed was awful on our back! We did complain as the mattress was really worn down but nothing was done. - shower head was leaking through to the floor.

A nice hotel but the majority of other guests were German so it’s not an easy place to socialise due to language barrier. The staff were mixed. Some were superbly helpful but many were rude and cold. The food is good but drinks are outrageously expensive at more than double prices from local bars. The place is a little dated and tired. Pool not always clean and activities are expensive too. Adequate but not a 4/5* venue

Porto Bay Falesia is a beautiful property is a great location for accessing various areas of The Algarve. Our stay involved only one issue (Rm 296) with a leak from the A/C which was a fall risk concern. Maintenance staff quickly assessed and left, and we were offered another room but it was 8 pm and weren't prepared to relocate at that time. The carpet was dry the next day but didn't allow us to turn on the A/C. Otherwise, the stay was perfect!

Had an excellent stay at PortoBay Falésia. The staff were wonderful, the food was great so was our room/ view. The hotel has many amenities & activities to do but one that was very convenient for us was that the beach was a short walk away, with that you experience the most beautiful scenery of the mountains whilst walking towards it.

An older property that is well maintained with beautiful views and access to the sea. Delicious large buffet breakfast. The only dining option for dinner is the buffet and one a la carte Italian. Room service was good. Carpet in our room needed deep cleaning however the hotel provided spa slippers. Loved our stay.

While the staff is helpful and food is good, it’s not a place for fun. It can use some lively music and activities to give its atmosphere some personality.

If your after a quiet relaxing stay , its not bad with relatively good facilties. The rooms are better than average but we did have a few ants running around the bed which is not good. Unfortunetely there is very limited places to eat locally. We felt 29 euros per buffet evening meal per person at the hotel a little too expensive, had it been slightly cheaper we would of eaten at hotel a few evenings. The complex is situated between vilamora and albufiera , where all the trips and restaurants are situated. Its best to book an uber taxi to these places as buses are limited service. We enjoyed our stay, used gym, sauna , pool and pool area daily so no complaints but this hotel is more for the 45 to 75 year old range . It is a very quiet relaxed hotel.
