Reception is friendly, quick and uncomplicated. Willing to help/answer to any question/request. Location is fine as a base or stopover to visit Algarve (Benagil, Lagos, Sagres etc.) by car. Competitive price and all rooms look good with a view on the pool and the sea, good bathroom. Only downsides are that the room is missing some cutlery/dishes/coffee/tea, since the bar/restaurant is not to be recommended. Overall, when I am traveling this part of Portugal by car again I would definitely book here.
Experience started badly at check-in when they refused to add my wife to the booking as Trip.com’s mobile “deal” was for one guest in room. Snarky reception person rude and borderline hostile - this was our third stay at this property and as in the past, we felt a subtle bias against us as non-Portuguese. The Front Desk Manager got involved and he refused to comp. me my wife’s addition to our room and said we had to pay euros 40 for her two day’s breakfasts. He appeared unkempt with s dirty shirt and was unshaven . His attitude was aggressive and disrespectful in the extreme. We asked to be relocated to a higher floor from the 2nd floor and he informed me that there were no sea view rooms on upper floors. This was patently a lie as the initial receptionist told me that the hotel was not fully booked.
While I was in discussions with the front desk receptionist, a hotel guest came up and complained that her room was bery hot. She was told by the same snarky receptionist that the aircon was off due to a system changeover and she should open her balcony door! When I asked the same question later on to another receptionist, he said that they could give me a fan. She was and English lady and when a Portuguese guest arrived to check/in, that dame clerk was all over him with handshakes all around. Other staff around the property didn’t seem overly friendly to guests as well.
It is unforgivable for any hotel, let alone a supposed 5 star property, not to have its HVAC system operable and even worse, not to advise guests of the issue.
Our room was spacious, if a little warm, but showed the ravages of time with chipped furniture and surfaces. Also, not too impressed by the powdered coffee presented in the room, or a euros 3 charged for a bucket of ice.
I cannot recommend this property for a stay in Portimao and there are a few other more undated hotels nearby.

The hostel is ideally situated in Lagos' old town—central yet peaceful, despite being close to restaurants and bars. It offers clean dorms featuring a lamp and power socket at each bed, along with a comfortable mattress. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there's a inner courtyard perfect for dining, socializing, or smoking. Towels are provided, while lockers are available for a small fee (€1/night). With shops, beaches, and scenic coastal walks just steps away, it's an excellent value for a functional, conveniently located stay.
Once called the Alvor Luna Bay when bedrooms seemed larger!!! Renamed and reshaped. Swishly refurbed as new. Now the main problem is the lack of storage in what seem smaller bedrooms despite voluminous balconies. Simply, storage is inadequate for two guests for longer than a week, maximum. Let me describe............ a small [4feet tall?] open metal wardrobe rail with five fixed point clothes hangers. Four or five open shelves beside this rail., one occupied by the rooms safe. In all other respects its fine. The staff good and plentiful and helpful. The location the best in town!
Great location with a very nice hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The only downside is the fire door at the downstairs corridor entry which bang during the night. Otherwise this hotel is perfect.
Breakfast was also great with a fine choice.

The hostel is good and breakfast is sufficient for a youth hostel. The water and bathrooms could be cleaner. We had a few cellars in the room. The service and location are top and it is beautiful for a few days.
Another great stay in Sagres. We love this hotel. It is our second stay here and will return. We had an apartment overlooking the pool and ocean. Great for watching the sunset. There was a kitchenette, a living room, balcony, bedroom with 2 twin beds and bathroom. It was perfect for us. Great value for the money.
Our stay at The Editory By The Sea Lagos was amazing!
✔️ Very clean and well-maintained
✔️ Spacious and comfortable rooms
✔️ Wide variety of breakfast choices
✔️ The sauna, indoor pool, and outdoor pool are definitely a must-try
✔️ Great location — close to the town centre and beach
✔️ Quiet, relaxing, and perfect for a chill getaway
One of the best places to stay in Lagos if you want a peaceful holiday while still being near everything. Would definitely stay here again.
Very close to the beach, about 5 minutes drive to the seaside and the central area, there is a supermarket nearby, the location is very convenient and quiet, the hotel facilities and services are very complete, recommend this place.

Really enjoyed our stay here! Hotel is very new, aesthetic, walking distance to sunset viewpoint & famous beach. Both indoor & outdoor pool was lovely and the staff were all fluent with English :)
Excellent location minutes walk from the city centre and overlooking the marina. Room was fabulous - upgraded although we didn’t ask for an upgrade. Although the room wasn’t ready the receptionist said he would ring us when the room was ready and he did just that. Rooftop swimming pool and solarium is a real bonus and the gym is well equipped. Breakfast is buffet style and has an excellent choice. Dining room overlooks harbour and being serenaded by Andres piano playing at breakfast was the icing on the cake.
Interesting quirky location full of historic character. Very friendly welcome. When receptionist saw on passport that it was wife's birthday, we were given an upgrade and bottle of bubbly in room! Buffet breakfast fine, but it would have been good to have bacon on the hot-food selection. Our suite was quite spacious, but only had a standard double bed - OK for us, though others might want to request a king-size.
AAngel Del CampoThe hotel is very comfortable and the rooms are very comfortable.
It is well parked at some apples at June dates and the centre pila nearby.
The worst thing: if you are with children is not recommended because stairs are dangerous.
The jacuzzi was broken.
The room was struck with a TV, the shower and the bathroom were broken danced but it could be used.
They don't make room, they don't change towels, they don't pick up the paperboard, I think they change it weekly.
Premiere the aesthetic comfort and we end up uncomfortable with the placement of clothes, baggage and bathroom.
Former Porta Nova Hotel since 2017 completely remodeled. Free breakfast, free Sauna and Turkish bath, free indoor and outdoor pool makes this place a bargain if you can get reasonable rates (65€ we paid per night). Buffet dinner 29€/Person + drinks is overpriced (local restaurant dinner incl. drinks is 15-20€/Person) Breakfast buffet has huge selection, made to order eggs and stuff is a real plus. Parking (still) free (incl. the roadside). Very nice personell all over - high recommened for Tavira! I recomend ”Restraurante O Simao” in residential area
Perfect airport hotel with beach access – and booked flawlessly through Trip.com! ★★★★★ I picked this hotel for an early 6 a.m. flight out of Faro Airport, and it was the ideal choice. It’s only ~3 km from the terminal yet incredibly quiet – I never heard a single plane. The real surprise is the location: just a 1-minute walk to a beautiful beach with stunning sunsets and a few lovely beachfront bars and cafés. Check-in and check-out were fast and friendly. The English-speaking staff even helped carry my four heavy suitcases to the room without me asking. I got a decent sea-view room with plenty of space for all my luggage, effective air conditioning (that doubles as heating), and a bathroom with a bathtub. At 3 a.m. I easily got an Uber to the airport (tip: mention lots of luggage when booking the ride so a larger car is sent). A quick note on booking: I’m a long-time user of other booking websites, but this time I tried Trip.com for both the flight and the hotel. The pricing was completely transparent – exactly what you see is what you pay, with no nasty surprises at checkout like I’ve experienced elsewhere. I’m officially switching to Trip.com from now on! Fantastic value, perfect location, and wonderful staff. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I fly from Faro. Highly recommended! Obrigado! 🌅✈️
