This year was our 7th stay in our timeshare apartment, it was like coming home again. The same high standards from reception, the comfort and quality of the apartment and the huge array of restaurants and facilities. We even had lovely, sunny weather for the week. By staying in the Hotel Eden Mar for 3 nights before moving across we... More

29 April - 13 May 2013 This is our 5th stay at the Porto Mare Residence and it just gets better with each visit. My lovely Mother-in-Law has a time share and invites my husband and I to join her - it's never a difficult decision. We stay in one of the garden apartments over looking the sea, which is... More

Very well maintained and appointed apartments in a lovely location by the sea. Just a couple of minutes from the Pingo Doce supermarket for your self catering needs but also very close to a large selection of restaurants in addition to the adjoining Porto Mare hotel restaurants. If you intend to self cater I would recommend taking some dishwasher tablets,... More

This is my second year at the Residence. The apartments are very high quality with a full kitchen, DVD included (no additional rental cost there as in some places), safe and possibly the most comfortable beds and pillows I've ever slept on! We had a garden apartment which are an absolute joy as you can choose to sunbath in relative... More

We stayed at the Residence for the second year running and were yet again blown away by the whole place. The hotel, rooms and reception areas are decorated beautifully and always spotlessly clean. The staff, from Reception right through to cleaning staff are all happy, helpful and seem genuinely bothered about each and every guests happiness. We travelled with my... More

My friend and I have just returned from a week's stay at The Residence. We were in room 3908, on the ground floor, set in a lovely private garden area. The apartment was excellent. Everything you needed was in the kitchenette. We were only expecting a couple of rings on a hob. However we had a four ring hob, plus... More

The second year in our time-share apartment at the Residence. From the pick up from the airport to check-out on the last day, and return to the airport, our care was faultless. No wonder people have been holidaying here for 10 years! We are looking forward to completing our 10.

There's nothing I can add to the other excellent reviews. This is our fifth time in the Porto Bay complex, now as an owner in the Residence. Two weeks this time and I could have stayed longer. It really is as nice as the reviews say and you get the feeling that the staff really care about what they do.... More
