L accueil exceptionnel avec Alezandro sourire gentillesse disponibilité rien ne manquais La propreté de la chambre mais aussi le reste des installations Le petit déjeuner exceptionnel
Rien juste un séjour trop court.....
Sehr gute Lage oberhalb vom schönen Sandstrand. Geräumige Zimmer. Keine Kinder.
Essen war mit der Zeit etwas eintönig. Kaum eigene Parkplätze vor dem Hotel. Es musste sehr oft weiter weg parkiert werden. Dies war zwar gratis, jedoch nicht komfortabel.
Excellent breakfast. The decor was amazing, very moorish.
A parking garage would have been nice
Tudo 5 estrelas. No quarto onde fiquei ouvia-se o elevador unico reparo todavia superado pela simpatia e profissionalismo dos funcionarios bem como o aceio geral do hotel.

Lovely room and view, staff are very welcoming
The toilet flush button needs a bit of work done
Localização, staff, animação, instalações...
Do cheiro a esgoto na casa banho. Já no quarto no ano passado aconteceu o mesmo.
O colchão e as almofadas não são muito confortáveis. A roupa da cama deveria ser melhorada . Muito usada (de branco tem pouco)
Great place to stay at, great staff, right on the beach but also calm enough. Great view, good room, balcony. I love Portimao, i stayed there before for months so I know the city pretty well. The great staff made the stay worth it.
The only thing that was bothering me was the constant sound of the elevator and sounds from the inside of the hotel - they were heard inside of my room more than I would like to. I'm generally somebody sensitive to sounds so I do have headphones for sleeping.
Localização
Great location, staff were friendly.
Pillows were awful. Be careful the water gets really too hot very easily -pipe was so hot I burned my arm on it I shower. No wash cloth or conditioner.
Tudo! Já vou para o Hotel Oriental há mais de 10 anos e gosto de tudo!
The beach and pool were great
Our room was above the kitchen so we were woken by clanging and banging from 4am
The views are stunning and the location is excellent. The staff are very friendly and attentive .
La ubicacion respecto a la playa
Que no ltuviera parking peopio . Un poco incomodo ir al parking concertado
Me and my partner had the best stay, the location was perfect. We could walk straight from the pool area to the beach, and there were lots of fabulous restaurants nearby. The view from our room was stunning, especially at sunset. The breakfast was exceptional, with a great variety of choices, and the staff were extremely helpful with everything.
Localização soberba e com excelentes condições.
localização excelente
A piscina muito funda
O pequeno-almoço era agradável, mas a qualidade e disponibilidade de pão revelou-se insuficiente para o número de hóspedes, tendo faltado diversas vezes durante o serviço. Este é um aspeto que merece melhoria. A escassez de pratos quentes ao jantar, também poderia ser melhorado.
Demasiado ruido en el exterior del hotel. La cama supletoria no era para un adulto....
Gostamos de tudo . Principalmente porque todos os funcionários falavam em português .Mas saliento a receção que foi excelente , simpáticos , atenciosos . Voltaremos em breve com toda a certeza . Obrigada 🌻🙏🏻
A falta de educação de alguns hóspedes que deixam as toalhas nas espreguiçadeiras da piscina e vão para a praia .
Overall, staff are so friendly and professional! They were really helpful along the way of our trip. The location of the hotel is also perfect if you intend on spending your time at the beach! Breakfast provided in the hotel was decent.
I think the hotel does have a lot of positives but it could do with a bit more refinement to align to its 4 star rating. Perhaps the cleaning product used by housekeeping could be better because it leaves a very dusty/ odd smell in the room after housekeeping but this is fixed by airing out the room. I also think the pool bar at lunch could be managed better and plating of food could be much better. The sandwiches we ordered looked very thrown together and looked unappealing as it was falling off the toothpick it was held up with. The quality could be improved by using fresher ingredients so that it’s stands to the pricing.
Localização Simpatia

Localização, pequeno almoço, insonorização e simpatia dos funcionários, são os pontos fortes.
A única coisa que achámos menos bem foi o atendimento na piscina, demasiado demorado.
Tudo impecável, desde o atendimento à chegada quanto à experiência durante a estadia. Jantámos no hotel algumas noites, e fomos surpreendidos pela qualidade! Bem condicionado o acesso à praia, ótima localização. Para regressar certamente!
L’emplacement calme et proche des restaurants et de la magnifique praia Da Rocha. Très bon petit déjeuner.
Rien à part peut être pas de place de parking. Un parking payant public est à 700 mètres de l’hôtel.

Very welcoming staff. Great facilities, nice and clean. The food was wonderful, enough choice for breakfast and dinner. Great views form the hotel. Excellent for beach and great walks along the coast.
- localização com acesso direto à praia
Bem localizado
Acesso à praia visto ser praticamente um Hotel Sénior nem todos os hóspedes podem ir à praia hóspedes com pouca mobilidade
Localização, quarto amplo muito bom , pequeno almoço bom sem confusão estando o hotel cheio
Já tinha aqui ficado várias vezes e esta foi a primeira vez que fiquei com a sensação que o quarto não era bem limpo diariamente
Adorei tudo!
Beautiful place. Staff was amazing
Had an issue one night at the outdoor restaurant where we waited 30 minutes to get waited on and then they said they were closed. We were there 30 min before closing and just wanted a tapas.
La diversification de la nourriture, le calme de la piscine et la propreté général de l’établissement
Le fait que le buffet ne soit plus alimenter à partir d’une certaine heure, certaine chose vide depuis 20h45 alors que le buffet ne ferme qu’à 22h. Le personnel pas toujours très accueillant, le fait que les boissons ne soit plus comprise dans le repas du soir contrairement à il y a 2 ans. Dommage que le standing baisse mais que les prix monte
Bom PA mas deveria ter mais opções como por exemplo as panquecas que só servem á 2ªfeira. O Buffet estava bom e com qualidade.
mais variedade no pequeno almoço seria bem vindo , não serviam panquecas e o facto de não ter estacionamento é realmente um "handicap" remetem para um parque público bastante caro e afastado.
recomendo!
O acesso à praia . Para um Hotel de adultos será mais sénior teria que ter melhor acesso porque pessoas com mobilidade reduzida ou idosos não podem sair para a praia
Die Lage zum Strand und das Ambiente des Hotels.
Das Geräusch des Aufzugs, aber man gewöhnt sich daran.
Hotel mitten im Geschehen von Portimão. Ein bisschen Orientalische Ausrichtung Alles sehr übersichtlich. Frühstück und Abendessen auch ok .
Kein Abendprogramm. Die Bedienungen im Essbereich teilweise unterbesetzt mein Eindruck wirkten gestresst. Orientalisches Essen hat mit dem Hotel nichts zu tun. 3 Zimmer Betten ok ein sehr harter schlafsofa nicht zu empfehlen
Simpatia do staff e disponibilidade. Excelentes refeições com variedade e qualidade.
La situació, la neteja, el personal i el menjar
Localização tranquilidade
Ser poucos dias 🤣
La amabilidad del personal, la ubicación y la preciosa amplia habitación con terraza y vistas a la playa
El desayuno, productos de calidad no acorde a un hotel de 4 estrellas
Snídaně skvělé, ubytování dobré, čistota dobrá, pokoj s terasou rovnou na zahradu výhodou. V hotelu velký klid.
Parkování za 20eur v 10min vzdáleném parkingu.
Propreté, amabilité du personnel, calme et confortable, climatisation ultra performante
Private small hotel, perfect location, great view, impeccable green garden
A bit understaffed at pool bar, breakfast could be somewhat more varied
Todo
Nada
There was so much we liked about staying at the AP Oriental Beach in Portimão. The room was comfortable, spacy and provided all the amenities we required. Towels were changed daily (if required) and the room cleaned daily. The location of this hotel was fantastic. It is in a prime location with access to not only a beach, but also to the town and more. As it was 'Adult Friendly' my wife and I had a totally relaxing two weeks stay - just what we were seeking and needed. The hotel oriental/morrocan style decoration was relaxing and tranquil and there were many areas for us to sit down and take time out. We went for Breakfast and Dinner and this was also a good choice for us. The quality and choice of food was top rated. Options catered for everyone. We particularly loved the pool and pool area. A bar was close for any snacks or drinks throughout the day and all the staff (from Cleaners to Bar Staff and Reception) were polite, courtious and welcoming. Everyone seemed happy to help! On particular staff member that stood out for us was Carlos who worked in the Restaurant. He went above and beyond.
The only negative that we experienced was car parking. We hired a car and never got an opportunity to park it once in the available 4 spaces provided. Other guests parked and 'hogged' the spaces for days or longer. Fortunately, this did not put us off - it was a slight inconvenience but we were able to find car parking in the town close by in short walking distance.

Solo el trato de un camarero al pedir la carta de las bebidas para tomar una copa en la piscina
Adorei a localização, o staff muito simpáticos em geral , os quartos e o hotel muito limpo , bom pequeno almoço, piscina boa e muito tranquilidade em redor , acesso a praia maravilhosa com bons bares na praia . Vida nocturna muito divertida na Praia da Rocha.
A minha pontuação foi 8 por estes motivos em falta : Hotel Antigo e algumas mobílias ja muito gastas e pouco gosto na decoração. O bar do hotel é muito pequeno mas é suficiente. O que não gostei foi estavamos a ver o mundial eu e mais hóspedes e fomos avisados que ia fechar o bar ... ok ... o problema não era fechar o bar , neste caso as bebidas , o pior é fomos convidados a sair porque tinham de fechar as portas do bar e ficamos sem ver o restante futebol, campeonato mundial... e não existe mais salas de estar para poder continuar ver o futebol ou mesmo se queremos estar a desfrutar a noite em convívio. Ver uma solução de fechar o bar mas não a sala de convívio, fomos convidados a ir pro quarto dormir porque não tínhamos o canal desporto no quarto . Estacionamento muito difícil mas nós já sabíamos dessa situação. Mas voltarei a ficar neste hotel 😊
The rooms big with a great view
I think is over priced for what it has to offer.Not a very big pool and and a bit disappointed with the food,bar and entertainment (as is a adults hotel)
Friendly staff and excellent hotel and location
C’était parfait, l’emplacement, le personnel et le petit déjeuner

Le décor, la proximité de la plage et la détente.
Nous avons pas appréciés l'odeur de tabac et des égouts dans la chambre meme après avoir mis du parfum pendant tout le séjour.
A nossa receção foi calorosa e amigável. Os funcionários foram prestáveis, desde o transporte das malas até à explicação de todos os pormenores da nossa estadia. A decoração do hotel e o ambiente envolvente são muito bons. Os jardins, a piscina, as espreguiçadeiras estavam muito bem cuidados. O ambiente do restaurante era calmo, com música tocada ao piano, calma e relaxante, todas as manhãs. O pequeno-almoço e o jantar eram magníficos, com muita variedade. Serviços organizados e dedicados ao cliente. Sem confusão, sem filas e sem barulho.
The view and location were excellent. The vibe was very relaxed and welcoming. The room felt very private. The breakfast was fantastic! The pianist was great and so was the sparkling wine. :) My friend and I were REALlY impressed with 2 young men that worked in the hotel. I think they were called ‘Rudi ‘ and ‘Ricardo’ . Very polite, friendly and helpful young men. A real asset to the hotel. They were on an ‘apprenticeship’ I think. I hope they do well and go far in their careers. :) Joy & Emma !

Localização do hotel e acesso privado à praia, pequeno almoço de muita variedade e boa qualidade, quarto Impecavelmente limpo e espaçoso com vista espetacular (Quarto Premium com Vista Mar Frontal), limpeza e decoração do hotel excecionais. Serviço do bar da piscina; enganos nos pedidos e a demora na entrega dos mesmos, não vou pôr em pontos negativos porque acredito que sejam situações pontuais e a melhorar, deixo aqui o meu agradecimento à Sra. Cláudia ao jovem Ricardo e ao Sr. Nelson que foram muito amáveis e prestáveis.
L'amabilité du personnel, l'emplacement la qualité des prestations, le thème de l'hôtel Tout était parfait

Todo en general,muy buena ubicación,atención y la comida muy buena y variada.Lo recomiendo.
Die Nähe zum Strand und das Essen waren spitze.Sowie die Poolanlage war toll.
Wir sind in der Nacht angereist. Der Nachtportier hat uns Parkplätze gezeigt vor dem Hotel, dort könnten wir parken. Leider gilt dies nur bis sieben Uhr am Morgen. Hat uns 60 Euro gekostet.
La ubicación y el trato del personal
Que no tuviera albornoces y zapatillas.

Nos gustó todo
Great location and easy beach access!
Carlos unser Kellner! Das großzügige Zimmer mit riesigem Balkon! Das Essen war top!
Baustelle am Strand! Käfer die schwer nach Kakerlaken aussehen an der ganzen Promenade und auch im Hotel!
Habitación muy amplia y cómoda. Personal con excelente teatro siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Ubicación inmejorable .Desayuno muy completo Nos gustó mucho
No tiene parking
The room and bed were generously sized, including a huge dresser in the hallway. The temperature in the room was cool when we arrived, as they had turned on the AC prior, which I appreciate as a nice touch. The terrace had a good opening to a (side) view of the sea, which was unfortunately partially obstructed by the set-up of an upcoming beach festival. Most of the staff was pleasant and welcoming. The hotel has an interesting architecture, which was one of the first things I noticed when booking this hotel. The garden is nice and has a good view of the beach and ocean, but we didn't use it much as we prefer just going to the beach. There is also direct access to the Rocha beach from the garden through a dedicated staircase. The location is great as it is beach-front and also towards the end of the "main street", with a few good restaurants essentially across the street, but without it being loud at night. The beaches of Portimao are gorgeous, with very fine sand, shallow and clear water, dramatic rocks and interesting grottos to explore, as well as nice vantage points. We split our time between Praia da Rocha and Praia dos Tres Castelos, but there are more to explore if you have time.
The breakfast did not impress me. The food was fine, not a lot of variety from day to day, but OK. What really degraded the experience for me was the coffee. There were 2 self-serve coffee machines with several options each. I pressed on the cappuccino button, and a milky brown liquid with a burnt smell started flowing - hot chocolate, I thought; then in the end I noticed a bit of what looked more like coffee also pouring. So the result was a low-quality hot chocolate with a bit of low-quality coffee - as a result I stopped trying to have coffee at breakfast again. I saw there was a bar which had an espresso machine where I assume better drinks could be prepared, but it was never open for breakfast, so I couldn't enjoy a decent cappuccino with my breakfast. This was especially disappointing for me as I really like good coffee (and I think many of us do). I believe a 4 star hotel should provide better coffee options. On the bright side, there is a surf shop also selling very good specialty coffee close to the hotel. There was sometimes an unpleasant sewer smell in the bathroom. The terrace would have had a good (side) view of the sea, unfortunately the stage and tents that were getting set up for an upcoming festival on the beach right in front of the hotel were obstructing the view. I don't know if it would be reasonable to expect a warning about this when booking a room, so I would say it's not necessarily the fault of the hotel. But overall for this price I had higher expectations.
卫生,风景,服务
Gute Lage, freundliches Personal.
Het was in het rustigere gedeelte van Portimão, hierdoor kon je opzoek naar de drukte maar ook naar de rust. Het personeel was top, vriendelijk en zorgzaam. Ontbijt was redelijk en kamer zeker ook. Super fijne plek voor een solo vakantie!
Het is niet eind wereld voor mij, maar onthoud dat begin juni Afronation plaatsvind. De opbouw, het festival tot afbouw heeft impact op je zicht, de rust in de omgeving en je direct connectie met het strand.
Lokalita hotelu je skvělá, v klidné části promenády. Vybaveni hotelu a v pokoji nám vyhovovalo. Pokoj byl prostorný a větší balkon s lehátky a posezením byl super. Personál byl milý a velmi ochotný. Snídaně byla bohatá na výběr. Velmi jsme ocenili
Jediné ale velké minus hotelu bylo to, ze na pláži primo pred hotelem mnoho dnu staví obří festivalový park se dvěmi stagemi a velkým zázemím. Nejen ze pres nej neni vidět na more a porad se na to díváte ze hotelu ze vsech míst and navíc cely den i celou noc vas ruší pracovní rámus, protoze se na něm pracuje 24 hodin. Naštěstí jsme odjeli dříve než festival začal. Chteli jsme klidnou dovolenou bez deti a misto toho posloucháte celodenní ramus . Navic jsme na toto nebyli upozorněni ale cestou Bookingu ale cestou hotelu. Takze varuji.
Beautiful hotel. At least 4 star. Amazing staff at check in. Lovely pool and bar. Lovely view (better I’m sure when Afro Nation not setting up). Glorious beach. Lovely breakfast. Perfect location.
It’s perfect.
A localização
Na chegada o o mini bar estava estragado e foi preciso insistir pois disseram-me que o mini bar não refrescava apenas mantinha as bebidas um pouco frescas, o que não era verdade pois na segunda reclamação começou a refrescar e bem
Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Ruime kamers en midden in het centrum. Trap naar beneden en je bent op het strand. Wat wil je nog meer.
Niets
Ese hotel esta algo apartado del "RunRun" del turismo. Así el ambiente esta mas tranquilo y agradable. Las habitaciones son muy amplias; armarios amplios, camas espaciosos, con TV y aire acondicionado, sofá y mesita. Una terraza suficiente amplio para sentarse y disfrutar el exterior (jardín y mar). Un jardín grande con tumbonas y piscina. El desayuno es espectacular; una gran oferta a productos para desayunar. Hay tres horas para tomarse el desayuno, tiempo suficiente después del descanso. También la cena esta muy bien preparado con amplios productos para tomar alimento. El desayuno y la cena son del tipo "autoservicio", e incluido en el precio de la habitación que se contrata. Esta uno a gusto en este hotel.
Es muy difícil de determinar este aspecto. El hotel mismo no tiene garaje, solo 5 a 7 plazas para aparcar. Pero se encuentra aparcamiento libre en los alrededores. Claro en épocas de verano puede ser insuficiente. Ah, una cosa que no lo veía bien. El ayuntamiento organiza un festival de música para 3 a 4 días (espacio junio-principios de julio), que sus preparaciones duran casi tres semanas, y otra semana de desmontaje. Esto quita a este hotel su espacio de playa con las tumbonas correspondientes. Esto daña la reputación de este hotel.
Localização, tamanho dos quartos muito bom, comida também boa qualidade e variedade. Funcionários simpáticos e prestáveis
O estacionamento na zona é um grande problema, e o barulho do elevador torna-se um pouco chato.
Las instalaciones y el trato del personal del hotel
Qué no tiene aparcamiento propio. Hay que callejear para dejar el coche.
De tudo! À nossa chegada super bem recebidos, parque de estacionamento privativo, os quartos são grandes muito limpos com vista maravilhosa para o mar, o hotel tem uma localização espetacular, lindíssimo por dentro, transporta-nos para o mundo árabe, a piscina uma maravilha com bar de apoio, o pequeno almoço então do melhor, uma delícia ao som do piano... soberbo do melhor por onde já passei!A repetir, seguramente!
Schöne große und saubere Zimmer. Personal freundlich. Super Aussicht.
Nur 4 Hoteleigene Parkplätze für 90 Zimmer!! Man ist ständig auf der Parkplatzsuche.Grossbaustelle am Strand wegen Afro Nation,manchmal Lärm bis weit nach Mitternacht.
The friendly staff. The hidden extras of pianist at breakfast and jazz singer in evening. Given a fresh flower one morning at breakfast. Taken to our room and everything explained to us.
Nothing.
Trevlig personal, utmärkt service. Bra läge, fin utsikt. Bekväma sängar, stora rum.

Staff were fab. Location was great. Loved how peaceful it was. Food was brilliant
Nothing really, parking a little inconvenient but can park free on street
Localização, Instalações, Asseio, Vista-Mar, Pequeno-Almoço, Buffet do Jantar, Tudo Bom.
Nada a referir.
Localização excelente! Pequeno almoço nota 10, com direito a um senhor tocando piano! Me senti muito bem acolhida, estão de parabéns.
Sauberes Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Tolle Lage, nur wenige Gehminuten vom Strand entfernt. Das Buffet war lecker und abwechslungsreich. Die Poolanlage ist sehr gepflegt und bietet einen schönen Meerblick.
Einziger Minuspunkt: Es gibt leider nur wenige Parkplätze.
El personal es excepcionalmente, agradable y servicial
En algunos sitios necesita una modernización
Funcionários muito simpáticos, quartos grandes e super confortáveis. Ambiente perfeito para descontrair
Goede ligging. Heel vriendelijk personeel en nette kamer. We verbleven precies bij Praia Rocha waar de gezelligheid was. Geen overlast gehad omdat het hotel net aan het end zit. We hadden een auto gehuurd, die kan je gratis in de straat erachter parkeren.
Herbergið stórt og gott, góður matur og þægileg úti aðstaða
Mæli með að hafa yoga dýnu í ræktinni
