Good location and parking on-site. Close to restaurants and shopping at the marina. Property could use a refresh, especially the carpets which were very dirty in the public areas. Please clean the elevator shafts as they are disgusting. Do not swim in the pool. I saw 10 seagulls swimming in the pool in the early morning. Very good staff at front desk and at bar.

Real Marina Hotel & Spa is an absolute gem in the heart of Olhão, fully deserving its 5-star rating. From the moment you arrive, you can feel truly special thanks to the incredibly polite and professional staff. The hotel employees are true ambassadors of hospitality. Always smiling, helpful, and ready to fulfill any request. The receptionists are exceptionally courteous, and their knowledge of the local area is impressive. The restaurant team pays attention to every detail – from perfectly served dishes to personalized service. The rooms are spacious, luxuriously furnished, and impeccably clean. The views from the rooms overlooking Ria Formosa are breathtaking – especially at sunrise. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the decor promotes relaxation.The hotel’s spa is a true oasis of peace. The pool with its view of the Ria Formosa lagoon is stunning, and the variety of treatments offered at the spa allows for complete rejuvenation. The spa staff is highly professional and creates an atmosphere of absolute tranquility.The hotel is perfectly located right by the marina, offering easy access to trips around Ria Formosa or walks through the charming streets of Olhão. The area also boasts many local restaurants serving fresh seafood, which further enhances the experience. Real Marina Hotel & Spa offers an unforgettable experience. The combination of luxury standards, excellent service, and breathtaking views makes every stay truly special.

Mini November break

We decided to stay for 5 nights for some winter sunshine. The spa was very good and excellent value for money. The hotel is very nice but would only consider it to be 4 star as some areas of the hotel do need to be updated. Buffet breakfast was great every morning. Olhão is worth a visit for a couple of days, however at this time of year a lot of places are closed
