PortoBay Blue Ocean

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel rooms and reception area were very bright. All areas of the hotel have been recently refurbished and are well maintained. The double bed in the hotel room was pleasingly large and comfortable. All staff were very helpful and bedrooms were cleaned daily. There were almost daily aqua aerobic and aqua gym classes which were very enjoyable and led by energetic and enthusiastic staff who made the sessions fun. There were plenty of loungers and umbrellas around the pools , which were spotlessly clean. The breakfast and dinner buffets were very good with food of high quality, although the selections of food for the daily themed dinner buffets could have been more differentiated with more variety. Although the setting of the hotel, overlooking the beach provided great views the hotel was about 20 minutes by taxi (about 15 Euros ) from Albufeira and there is no public transport available."
