The spacious rooms have private balconies and a warm, contemporary décor.

Both hotels connect through the outdoor gardens in a pleasant walk.

You're sure to appreciate the recreational amenities, which include 2 outdoor swimming pools, an outdoor tennis court and a sauna.

We had another truly wonderful holiday at the Portobay Blue Ocean - Thank you !
This hotel is amazing, from the moment you walk in, the hotel is elegant and calm with a wonderful colour palette.
The reception team are warm, friendly, helpful, professional and we felt truly valued as guests.
Our room was gorgeous and cleaned every day, it was absolutely spotless, as is the whole hotel.
The landscaping is beautiful and so relaxing. You really feel as though you are in a comforting cocoon and cared for by the wonderful team.
Eating out on the veranda outside the restaurant in the evenings is magical and the food is excellent. The desserts defy description - they are works of art!
The hotel hosted a "Bye Bye Summer" party during our stay with a fabulous DJ by the pool area, the area lit with tea lights and with a grand finale of a fire dancer! It was magical.
We have stayed here a number of times and it just keeps getting better and better. For a holiday where you know you are valued as a guest, with beautiful calming colours and a relaxing vibe, gorgeous landscaping and the best hotel team we have ever met, this reaches excellence,
Looking forward to going back in December !
Thank you to the Team who takes customer satisfaction seriously and delivers on every aspect.
Just returned from a wonderful week’s stay at this rather lovely hotel. The moment we arrived it was clear this was a good choice: the reception area is spacious, airy and welcoming. We were greeted by Gabriella who could not have been more pleasant and helpful. The (sea view) room was of good size (27m2 according to the website and that seemed right to me) with all the amenities you’d expect (except perhaps, a bath tub). The air conditioning is a bit puny but does work and the addition of a ceiling fan made the room comfortable in the 34-degree heat we enjoyed. The room mini-fridge was a bit weedy but kept a bottle of something fizzy chilled rather than cold. The choice of pool areas is extensive making it easy to find a spot to suit - we preferred the slightly secluded raised decks. The walk down to the beach was good exercise but after the first couple of days we found it just as pleasant to remain at the hotel. Our intention was to dine at local restaurants (of which there are plenty) but we ended up eating at the hotel. The Lima bar had all the food we really needed so we dined there most evenings (they are quite keen however, to move you on after 5pm - it closes at 6 - but not unpleasantly). Quick drink at the Aqua Bar happy hour and then relax at the Sunset Bar. Big shout out to Israk who looked after our every need. We dined once at the Mercado Restaurant evening buffet. A bit pricy (34.50 Euro each excluding drinks) but was well worth it: fantastic range of high quality fresh food, and the buffet format allowed one to taste a little of almost everything. Room servicing was discreet and professional (as you’d expect) and our chambermaid, Rose, made sure we were fully stocked with fresh towels and butterscotch sweets! In all, a wonderful stay exceeding our (fairly high) expectations. Well done to all the team at PortoBay Blue Ocean but particularly Gabrielle, Israk and Rose.
From the minute we walked into this beautiful hotel we were greeted by a friendly and helpful front desk. The friendly service continued in all areas from the servers in the restaurants and bars, to the house cleaning team. Gabriella at the front desk was so helpful and we really appreciated it. Kuldeep from Flor De Sal Restaurant was great too! Highly recommend a Sea View Room, as the views are spectacular, good size and really nice. This hotel takes pride in the condition of this property. Food is all the restaurants was very good, never disappointed. The beach is a bit a walk with lots of stairs but what experience getting there and seeing this beautiful beach! We have stayed at many Hotels and Resorts and this one is at the top.
We normally stay at the Falesia sister hotel but thought we would try the new PortoBay Blue Ocean this year. We were not disappointed! The staff were all excellent - friendly and efficient, hotel and grounds spotless, our room was spacious and comfortable. Sunset bar was great for the view or watching the sunset go down. We did have lunch a few times at the Falesia (thank you to Tatianna) and dinner at the Basilica. Another great addition to the PortoBay group
I went here with my boyfriend for his 30th and we had a fantastic time. Special thank you to Ana and the housekeeping team for setting up a lovely surprise when we arrived, great communication with me beforehand to arrange this. We were even given Prosecco on his actual birthday which I hadn’t planned and was a lovely surprise. Food was lovely, service was great, and the hotel was clean/professional. My boyfriend said the burger at the lunch restaurant was one of the best he has had, and it was a fantastic week.
