Best Pet friendly Hotels in Portimao

This was our first time staying at this hotel though we are very familiar with the area having been frequent visitors with our family over the past 14 years or so. The hotel was recommended to us so we decided to take a chance and book - we needn't have been worried. From the moment we checked in we found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful.Our room was a nice comfortable size with an amazing sea view and was extremely comfortable. Breakfast is very varied though it was busy no matter what time we decided to attend yet this was not an issue. The area is very much in the quieter part of Praia da Rocha which is great and because we were there in October we had no problems getting seated at various restaurants - though in high season that would be adifferent story. All in all this was a great relaxing trip and this hotel was wonderful -we will definitely return next year!

A truly great experience!! Room was comfortable and housekeeping excellent. Well placed with a view of the Marina. The highlight of each morning of my 5 night stay was the Breakfast. Fantastic choice and everything well cooked and presented. The staff, particularly the trainees, were always friendly and obliging. I couldn't fault anything about the Breakfast at all. The situation of the Hotel was ideal for me but might not suit everyone as it was sited out of the Town. A beautiful beach was adjacent to the Hotel and even out of season there were a variety of Restaurants nearby. All staff, the Receptionists, Restaurant staff and Housekeeping were outstanding, always greeted me with a smile and very helpful.

We spent 3 nights at Casa Tres Palmeiras and it was absolutely fantastic. We’ve stayed at 5 star resorts before, and although there are not the same amenities, the character, location and service will not leave you wanting more. Dolly is an absolute gem. Simply amazing. There are a few procedures to learn on your arrival, but it all fits in to the charm of this one of a kind place. There is little better than sitting out on the pool deck, with likely one of the top views in the country right in front of you while you have breakfast each day. It is out of a dream. The location itself is quite fantastic for those wanting to take in what Portimao and Avlor have to offer but essentially be quiet and secluded at the same time. Can’t say enough. Casa Tres Palmeiras was an experience we’ll remember fondly. Thanks Dolly.

This hotel is an amazing retreat! Surprisingly you can't hear the noise from the racing track just nearby. The staff is very nice and attentive. The location is great if you want to be in a quiet part of the Algarve (30 minutes from Portimão). The breakfast is great. It has variety and the products are fresh and high quality. The hotel has an amazing outdoor swimming pool, unfortunately the it was too windy and we were not able to enjoy it. The Jacuzzi and the indoor swimming pool are great too! The room is as in the pictures, it is big and the decoration is modern. Overall, we recommend this hotel if you want to enjoy a quiet retreat in the Algarve!

Fui informada a 10/07 que clientes exteriores não podem usar a piscina, apenas em setembro. Tenho pessoas amigas que foram a 09/07 e puderam....afinal uns podem, outros não.Lamentável a atitude de quem me atendeu que confrontado com isto ainda me respondeu que a medida tinha entrado em vigor a 10/07 o que não faz sentido abdolutamente nenhum.

We’ve just returned from a week at Tivoli, Alvor, the weather has been amazing, we didn’t see a cloud all week, unfortunately the hotel really didn’t meet our expectations. There are so many areas across the hotel that could be improved, that really would have changed our experience. Firstly the pool areas, there aren’t enough sunbeds for guests. The sunbeds they do have are all pushed together, with no space between you and the next family. Getting a sunbed was also another issue, people were out reserving sunbeds first thing and we saw towels out all day without anyone return. Due to the number of guests in the hotel, on occasions towels had ran out by early afternoon. It’s not something we really expected from a 5* hotel. It’s been mentioned in other reviews, but expect to queue, I understand it’s August, but there clearly weren’t enough staff to cope with the number of guests. We queued for drinks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, booking restaurants, the BBQ…the list goes on. They often ran out of cutlery, glasses and plates. We did really feel for the staff, who were obviously under pressure, but I would say while we came across some lovely friendly staff members, we also encountered lots of staff who were unhelpful and quite rude. The food was average, pretty hit and miss, it did get quite repetitive. The Mexican night was our favourite, but only one chef serving the amount of guests, We did really love the train to Alvor and the beach was amazing. The room was cleaned daily, but was quite small for the 4 of us. For the price we paid for the holiday, we were really disappointed.

Positive points (Dom Joao II hotel, as both are adjacent and the villas have full use of the hotel’s facilities) Lovely hotel reception and grounds. Great pool. Nice breakfast and hard working staff Location - direct access to a fantastic beach and board walk- close enough to walk to town. Negative points The main issue we had was the standard of accommodation of the beach villas is not what is advertised or expected for the cost. The bathroom, decor and furniture is very outdated and the air conditioning unit was faulty in one bedroom. We were upstairs so the balcony was very small. It’s really a small 2 bed apartment- not a villa Although advertised there is no kids club to speak of- really just a room with one lady- only suitable for 3-4 year olds. We did feed this back to the staff and were relocated but to an identical villa- with the only addition being a sea view- which was lovely. They did compensate with a dinner but I felt compelled to write a review as we really felt the accommodation is not up to the standard expected for the cost.

We last stayed at The Penina 27 years ago and I can honestly say that it has hardly changed. The hotel needs a complete facelift. Peeling paint on the hotel exterior is everywhere. Access to the golf driving range and other amenities is dreadful. At this time it is a bit like spot the guest. Sunday afternoon, just a maximum of 10 people at the pool. The restaurant likewise. Hardly any patrons and a total lack of atmosphere. The sad fact is that if people stop visiting, the hotel will die a miserable death. I cannot understand why there is a two tier system for wifi. Surely most hotels now offer this for free. On the plus side throughout the hotel the staff are delightful with many having been here for many years. There are about five restaurants but there never seems to be more than three open at any one time. They do offer very good food which is really inexpensive and of good quality. The buffet breakfast is extensive with more than enough choices. We would love to come next year and bring our whole family, but quite honestly I couldnt do that with what I have seen over the last 5 days. My view is that unless the management do something really proactive that with the intense competition elsewhere this once really lovely hotel is going to fail. Having said all of the above, the cost of the accommodation was competetive and good value. We have enjoyed ourselves and give all credit to the wonderful staff without whom this would be a very different place.
