" No sign of the real Portugal "

4 star? Thompson is deluded if this is a hotel of quality. The Oriental hotel is tired and is suffering from serious disrepair and in need of a complete makeover. If you have kids or are with someone elderly watch out for the stairs that link the hotel to the beach. The stairs zigzag their way down a rock face that is over grown and dangerous. The food was incredibly poor. Breakfast consisted of tined fruit, stale bread and cakes plus coffee from a machine that tasted of dirty water. Finally and worst of all was the location. The hotel is situated amongst residential tower blocks plus a terrace café open till eleven. Authentic Portugal was nowhere to be seen, This was a holiday from hell.

Advice: Avoid this hotel and location

Activities: Travel to Alvor

" very nice hotel,..nice food, very... "

very nice hotel,..nice food, very quiet, polite service
not geared to children
ideal for over 45's and older couples

swimming pool is in th shade early morning but heats up late afternoon
interior of hotel is done in a Morrocan style


evening entertainment sparse

I prefer an English breakfast but they tend to serve food catering to German-French-local tastes
evening meal is not bad,..although the best place to eat is at Hotel Jupiter some 100 yards away
or at the resturant called Dockside,..fabulous steaks

" Excellent Location, close to main... "

Excellent Location, close to main centre with its numerous bars and restaurants. Hotel public areas well maintained and look good, however the rooms are in need of serious refurbishment.

Very few facilities available in hotel. The poolside refreshment area was closed and the main bar did not open until 16:00 hrs. Staff surly to the point of rudeness, went out of their way to do nothing for you, which was contrary to the locals outwith the hotel who were welcoming and friendly.
Would certainly recommend this area but not this hotel. Not worth the 4T Luxurious rating from Thomson.

" A perfect hotel well worth the 4 star... "

A perfect hotel well worth the 4 star grading. It is just on the outskirts of main town area with plenty of café, bars and restaurants. Sits directly on the beach, each room spacious with fridge and kitchen area air con and safe. Spacious bathrooms with twin sinks.

Wonderful sea views, watching the boats from the nearby marina sail in. Hotel ambience and decor lovely, fountains and plants everywhere, airy light dining room with outside patio terrace to enjoy breakfast, good choice with friendly staff.

We were not disappointed and we will most certainly book the Oriental again, as local bus stop outside hotel, taxi rank down road, very near the new chic portimao marina. Boardwalks built all along beautiful clean beach with bars and cafes. Superb sea views as hotel directly onto beach about 20 steps leading down from pool area.

One of the Algarve’s little gems. We booked with Thomas Cook Holidays and flights were perfect.
