NH Marina Portimao Resort

"Visited here in 2024 and enjoyed a lovely glass of wine and a cheese platter most evenings while enjoying the early evening sun set. Happy hour was an absolute winner and attracted guests from other hotels and bars. Move on to 2025 and what a difference! The pool area has been fully renovated and is excellent! Lovely, well kept garden area wuth plenty of seating available. We ventured into the bar are only to be ‘grunted at’, told we couldn’t just have a drink! What?! The hotel is open to the public, or so we thought!! Not sure if it’s under new management but the staff in the bar/restaurant are definitely different to those last year. Not a smile in sight!! €15 for 3 machine made coffees! Absolutely disgraceful - not even fresh coffee! Not sure what strategy management are adopting for 2025/2026 but so far, it’s put us off ever eating or drinking there again. We took lots of friends here last year - were embarrassed to take any this year! Such a shame. What happened to service with a smile? Creating a friendly, welcoming yet professional environment? Arrogance, greed and extremely dismissive staff are not signs of a good quality, excellent customer experience! Very disappointing experience - not once, not twice but multiple times!"

"Breakfast buffet is 5 star. Rooms were cleaned every day and we were only 100 steps to the sand!! We will be back!"

"Here we are again for the ninth time in this hotel at the marina of Portimão nh Marina Portimão, the second time this year thanks to a beautiful birthday present that I got. It was my first time in November, a quiet time of the year. Like always I enjoyed my stay very much. I have seen on my airport transfers and sightseeing tours so many different hotels that aren't appealing from the outside and their locations, I can't think of another hotel to stay. I stayed at the Marina Deck. This time in a room on the 2nd floor with sight on the pool. The studio is equipped with a kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator, induction cooktop, a water boiler and a nespresso coffee maker. This time I was missing an empty drawer or a space to put away my things (books, stuff...) that don't have to be lying around in the open but don't have to be necessarily in the room safe either. The room was clean as usual, the maids do their work every day and are always in a good temper and very friendly. The breakfast buffet is well equipped with everything you can think of. Different kinds of food like bread, sausage, cheese, cereals, fruits, desserts, English breakfast, waffles... Different kind of beverages like coffee, tea, milk, water, aromatised water, juices, prosecco... I really enjoyed it to be here again. I need this to find myself again and reload my batteries. Walks at the beach, that is about 5 minutes by foot away from the hotel, trips to Portimão by bus (the busstop is up at the fortaleza more or less 10 minutes away from the hotel) and meeting nice portuguese acquaintances and friends that recognize one and are genuinely happy to see one again, do their part, too. The staff in general and at the front desk is always friendly, helpful, accommodating, has always a smile on the lips and time for a little chat and a little laugh. They were able to offer me again some bus tours (The Best of the East, Historical Algarve) which I was happy to take. Thank you for offering. Queria agradecer muito ao pessoal novamente! Muito obrigada! Vou ficar no seu hotel novamente no próximo ano. Mais uma vez muito obrigada!"
