This is an older hotel, but I really enjoyed my stay. The staff provided great hospitality and were knowledgeable about the area with great suggestions. The building needs new carpet, or better yet, new non-carpeted floors. It would also be nice to have slippers. Bed was comfy and view was beautiful. Breakfast buffet and environment were nice too. Pool area was clean and enjoyable, as was the poolside lunch/snack area. And the location is one of the best in Olhao, overlooking Rio Formosa! This hotel is due for a renovation, but the vibe is so good that it makes up for it. I would stay here again.

The Real Marina is a great hotel, whose staff go above and beyond at their jobs. The rooms are big, clean, and have AC. Bed is comfortable, and the bathrooms are spotless. The free internet has enough bandwidth to stream content if needs be. The hotel is not too far from numerous restaurants in Olhao, and it is perfectly positioned for getting a water taxi to the beaches, and the seafood festival. The only negatives I have with my stay there are to do with the bar. The prices of drinks were inconsistent (I paid €15 for a beer and Coke the first day, then €9 at another occasion), and the food options at lunch were not great.

Ideally situated for access to all amenities along the waterfront at Olhao. Staff were very helpful and informative when needed. We stayed on a B&B basis and the breakfast was v good, with lots of choice. Restaurant was available with a choice of meals on a buffet basis. All in all, an excellent hotel for hosting a stay exploring the area.
