NH Marina Portimao

I loved my stay here, the room was huge, there was so much space it was great (the cheaper rooms are smaller but perfectly comfortable and functional). We had a balcony and a terrace which housed sun loungers and a table and chairs set, this was a lovely touch - truly maximising the time spent in the sun. We booked half board, we were very impressed with the breakfast selection served each morning from 0730-1000, there were so many different options. Option to have a fresh omelette cooked for you there and then which was a nice touch. Selection of eggs - scrambled, fried and boiled. Traditional ‘English Breakfast’ food choices, which I was very happy about. Selections of fruit, cereals, breads, pastries, toast, seeds, nuts, cakes, pancakes and so much more, it was a great spread.

Sadly, our evening meals were disappointing; we disliked the main options provided in the buffet. Although, not enough for it to be of any significance if/when choosing to revisit the hotel!

The T Bone Steak Restaurant was absolutely delicious, I couldn’t fault a single thing. The steak was cooked to my liking, the portion size was great, the selection of sides were incredibly tasty and overall I was really impressed. Definitely give here a try!

Location is great, a short walk from the main shopping and dining area and plenty of little shops along the way for those last minute bits. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. Delicious ice cream served at every place I went to. Very very close to the beach, and of course the Marina which is stunning. The location and hotel itself is beautiful.

The pool was great too, always had a sunbed available (handy terrace space at the room available if not although I’m not sure if this depends on your personal room but from what I could see they all had them) and the pool was occupied but not busy - the most I saw at any given time were 5 people. At one point I completely forgot the hotel accommodates children, I saw so few of them.

Overall, I would definitely return. The staff were lovely too, very accommodating and friendly and were very attentive to all the guests needs.

I hope this review helps someone decide if they want to book here, I would definitely recommend it.

NH Marina Hotels location was great with beach in easy walking reach. Great to sit and watch the yachts sail in and out. Nice relaxing atmosphere around the complex. Stunning pool and children’s pool Rooms overlooking the marina were the best with outside terraces Restaurant was fantastic with a great selection of both fish and meat Value was excellent T Bone restaurant upstairs overlooking the marina is excellent quality in both food and service, voucher discount provided if your half board The only negative was the high walk up the cliff to the main shops, but an uber solved that, to visit local shopping and neighbourhood fishing villages. The local water taxi was a nice way to see the local areas too. Highly recommend a boat trip along the coast line to see the caves and dolphins Portimao is an excellent location for a nice all round holiday, caters for both relaxing and partying for all ages
