3-Star Hotels in Porches

We stayed here in August 2023 , and found it to be excellent for our needs as a family of 4 , two boys 13/11. We had a 2 bed duplex apartment with 2 big bedrooms and a large bathroom , downstairs is an open plan layout with everything you need in the kitchen cooker with oven , microwave , kettle, toaster , washing machine , dryer, never used the dishwasher, plenty of crockery ,cutlery etc. it also has a sun terrace on the top floor. There is a shared grassy area at the rear of the property and a small front garden. The complex itself is clean and well maintained and the pools are big and again very clean, but be aware it is a salt water pool. There are about a dozen restaurants within easy walking distance from the complex all very good , our favorite was the Master Grill opposite the supermarket, ( go Hungry and thank me later). There is a shuttle bus that takes you into Amercao De Pêra where you will find gorgeous beaches , a few bars and more restaurants highly recommend Pêra Bistro Bar great food and entertainment most nights. We got an Uber back at night 8/9 Euros. Would recommend this complex but be prepared to travel a little for more lively nights out .

Pros: • Size: apartment was very spacious, had a big fridge-freezer, plenty of kitchenware; apartment consisted of 5 rooms (hall, boiler room, kitchen/living area, bedroom, and bathroom) and two balconies (one at the living area and one at the bedroom (this one had a sea view)). • Cleanliness: apartment was very clean, cleaned by staff every second day (with towels and bath mat being replaced with new fresh ones); hotel provided free wall-mounted shampoo in bathroom of apartment. • Features: apartment had two air-con machines that you could control with a remote control that was only a €10 deposit; stove-tops, microwave, kettle, and toaster all available for use in kitchen area of apartment. • Amenities: pool was large and was never too busy to get a sun-lounger/parasol; pool bar was affordable for drinks (i.e. €3 for a pint of Sagres, €2.50 for a Somersby cider, €5.50-6.50 for a cocktail). • Location: 5-min walk from the beach; lots of restaurants within 5 to 10-min walk; mini-market 5-min walk away and supermarket 15-min walk away; very peaceful and quiet area, no noisy neighbours experienced! • Travel: fast pick-up times for taxi/Uber services from hotel; affordable taxi prices (we used the FreeNow app to travel to Armação de Pêra for €4 and Albufeira for €15); can also get the bus through to Armação de Pêra and Albufeira. Cons: • Bathroom: shower-head was too small for the holder so had to find sweet spot to use it, or use by hand; bath-mat had visible hole in it; slight stains on towels; no hand-wash provided by hotel. • Bedroom: yellow stains on bed-cover; one plug socket within the bedroom behind the dresser (which was missing safety guard). • Amenities: no lift within the apartment building (annoyance when on the top floor and have to carry large cases up/down when arriving/leaving); no under-water heating of the pool, so can be a bit too cold at times. • Nightlife: not very lively but we expected this having read reviews; we’d advise travelling through to Armação de Pêra some of the nights (although don’t make the mistake we did and go through on a Sunday!), or Albufeira. • Check-in: check-in time is at 3pm (annoyance when you arrive early from morning flight). • Travel: bus times to Armação de Pêra and Albufeira are infrequent.

Upon arrival we were graciously hosted by the female member of staff at reception who generously arranged for our accommodation to be ready early than normal, Whilst we waited we went to the restaurant and had a nice meal before the waiter then told us it was ready. We were thrilled with the spacious 3 bed apartment were given and I could have cried with delight when I saw we had a dishwasher. There are a few restaurants in the local area but within a 10 minute walk there is a supermarket that will equip you for a full self-catering holiday. The pool was never too busy and the beaches are close enough (but be aware that a 15 minute walk feels a lot longer in 30degree heat!). The only thing I found slightly frustrating is that the cleaners don't seem to be able to come in unless you are there, I found it a bit awkward and would rather have not been around as I felt obliged to tidy/assist. But, I note that this isn't a hotel and acknowledge that it's fantastic that this service was available at all. As a family of 5 (3 teenagers) we would have liked to have been a bit closer to the main town but appreciate that if you would like a quiet site you can't have it all. Overall we were really happy with our apartment/site/location but wouldn't return as we would rather be closer to the main facilities but that's our personal preference and not a slight on this place. As 3 star accommodation goes you really can't go wrong.
