Our stay was very nice in this hotel. We booked a blue room in the old building and we were upgraded with a beautiful room with a sea view. It was very calm and relaxing. The products in the bathroom are Guerlain and smell amazing ! The food at the bar and breakfast was really good. The hotel smells good and very clean. The principal building is majestic I highly recommend to book a room there.

As a golfer this is the perfect spot. Many many quality options with 20-30 minutes. I still think it's the best location when traveling with a family. The beach is awesome and the food choices are excellent. Great access to sea tours and water taxi to Ferragudo from the marina. There's so much to do. I would recommend renting a car so you can visit numerous surrounding towns.

Nice little town to walk around, beautiful promenade along the River Arade. Options of long walks along the beaches. Some places require maintenance. Easy access launderettes for long stays and lots of apartments too.

Great location of the resort.
Great location of the resort. Too far from the malls and other destinations that we would've want to visit. We ate at the the restaurant at the resort and also in town. Also the restaurants on the beach.

There are few places directly from the city center where you can find yourself so close to the incredible power of nature. The combination of a big city and beautiful natural beaches. Amazing, quiet town with lots of small beaches. One of the most beautiful beaches for me ever. Easily accessible by train, bus, car, taxi, Uber, or boat. About 2 hours from Faro airport. by car. There is everywhere to roam. If you see everything in the city, you don't have to run far to other big cities, but just move to the suburbs, in the east or west by the ocean. You will also be charmed and surprised by their natural scenery.

We stayed at Praia Da Rocha and regularly walked into Portimão Centre. We used the train to visit Lagos which was a short trip and reasonably priced.
The beach was amazing and there are plenty of shops.

It was pretty deserted in Februrary and the weather was too cold to get into the water. We had a major tropical storm with high winds and very high waves so the weather was against us. Luckly we did the boat tour to the caves and grottoes on the first day before the storm, but the rest of our stay was impacted.
Presidente was one of the cleanest hotels we’ve been to. The staff was so friendly and knew everything about hospitality and service. The rooms are better and bigger than pictured on the website. That is something we don’t not often experience, which made our stay even better. Also our little one enjoyed her stay and improved her eating due to lovely breakfast. And on top of it all, the beach is only one minute of walking. We will definitely come back another time and we also recommend others to stay here in Presidente as well.
Manuel and Ana. simply the best hosts ever!! They treated me and my friends like family and were very attentive to all our needs. Manuel gave me his personal line. Any queries I had he’ll answer. I even broke out with cold sores in Portugal due to the heat. Ana went to the chemist to buy me medicine. She did not charge me to get it. She paid for it. I will not stay anywhere else when I visit. I officially have Portuguese parents in them both. The view of the beach is spectacular.
Breakfast exceeds expextations, there is everything you can think of, including healthy food.
Balcon view was on the garden with birds and even a rabbit and a sea - perfect.
Staff very friendly and willing to help.
Room was spacious, we had a bath and a kitchen with all facilities to cook comfortably.
Indoor pool is great for windy weather. You need a shower cap to use it, but staff can provide it.
We enjoyed our stay fully, very beautiful place and perfect hotel!
The staff will go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your stay and make sure they can accomodate your requests to the best of their abilities.
The pool side waiters will recommend the best the hotel has to offer while tou enjoy the sun.
The location is ideal if you want to be close to almost everything so you can enjoy the party vibe whether with family or just with the wife.
I recommend you take the time to go and enjoy the Spa.
The Algarve Casino Hotel has direct access to the stunning beach (via a stairway). It is spotlessly clean. Some may find the decor dated, but we found that it retro and with its own charm. The personnel are courteous and friendly. We would give special thanks to Nuno on reception and Ricardo, Ana, Olga & Viktor for their excellent service in the bars. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and will definitely be back.
The place is clean.
The reception lady is responsive and did her best to help us.
We were able to check in earlier than we were supposed to.
We were able to leave our bags for 5 hours even after the check out.
The house is well decorated with beautiful plants in the entrance.
It is close to train station.
There is a Pingo doce in 10 mins walking where you can have great meals for cheap price.
Super nice and friendly host, very clean house and room all available facilties were in very good conditions. Close to many restaurants around the area 30mins walk to the beach which i did every day to enjoy the site and taxi is about €3 less than 10mins. The best guest house i have been so far in all holidays i have taken, I totally recommend. Top marks.
Good place to stay to see the south coast of Portugal. Comfy rooms, small parking by the building - available free, but only if there are free spots, so if you get to the hotel late it might be full, but there are lots of free parking spaces at the street behind the building. Close to the sea side. Lots of restaurants arround.
An amazing place to stay with so many outstanding touches. The decor and cleanliness were the best we’ve seen staying in Portugal. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The breakfast was amazing and worth the stay. Great location 300 ft from the beach. Parking onsite. We’d love to have this kind of hotel wherever we stay!
i stayed in 10 different places on my recent travels to spain and portugal and this one had the best staff hands down. Super friendly, super helpful, i wish all the places i stayed at had staff this good. the best value for money on my whole trip. they really care and look out for you here. 11 out of 10.
Location was great, just a minute or so from the beach, and at one end of Praia Do Rocha strip. Very easy to find and convenient for the Praia do Rocha area. Probably one of the best showers I've had in any Portimao stay in either of the two bathrooms.
Amazing place and if we were would get a bit more sunier days, this Villa has everything to enjoy the stay in Portugal.
Included breakfast was great deal. Allowed us to enjoy time even more.
Bed was made every day. Clean towels every day.
The hotel is right in front of the Marina, the pools are easily accessible from the lower ground rooms and the deck where breakfast is served is very pleasant. The breakfast spread is quite nice, even for a 4 star hotel
Nice owner, awesome location in the downtown of Portimao. We had our private bathroom. Everything was clean, terrace was really nice. Tip, behind the corner there s a nice food buffet.
absolutely nothing, I have never experience more rude staff in my life. made my trip to Portimao and absolute horror. pick any other hotel, pick a hostel. anything but AP oriental.
Excellent hotel for the price. Probably one of the best in Portimao which is a small town. Breakfast included is a plus with plenty of choice. I definitely recommend it.
