Best Porches Spa Hotels

A quiet, lovely apartment complex Pleasant greeting at reception, 2€ per person per night tourist tax charged on arrival, ouch but we knew about it beforehand. Room was nicely located overlooking one of he gardens, spotlessly clean, practical airy, we had a one bedroom apt, with 2 adults and 2 older teenagers , only tiny issue is one of the teens is over 6ft and too tall for the pull out bed, but he coped. The pool area was lovely , very quiet . You had your own parasol in the room to use on the balcony or take down to the pool if required, which was a great idea. Pool toilets were little dated , but we just popped back to our apt instead. Nice play area for kids. Cafe/bar/ restaurant We were a little annoyed that the bar restaurant was closed for our stay as this wasn't mentioned in booking and still not out of season, however the cafe was open and food was delicious, as were the cakes and coffees, lacked any atmosphere in evening apart from the one night where there was live music. Just needed a little music sorting really. Location short walk to several beaches ( some accessed from steep cliff steps) absolutely stunning clifftop walks , make sure u visit the little church area and shell trees near beaches its so pretty. You cN either walk towards beach or the intermarche for bars and restaurants, there is plenty, or go into armacao de pera, €3 in uber. Try tasca26 tapas it's amazing and easy walking distance.. Overall (this was a real budget holiday for us) is absolutely worth every penny, traditionally portuguese, friendly, quiet, and in a quiet but beautiful location.

Me my wife and 2 children aged 11 and 12 have just come back from a 4 night break here . First the reception guy couldn’t have been any nicer on first arrival . When I said I’m checking in he said first things first , how was your trip? . Absolutely lovely guy as were all the staff we encountered . Our side view double room was spotless . The beds were comfy as was the kids sofa bed. Onto the food . Overall we all thought the food was really good . A lot of variety and both my kids were going up for 2nd and third plates . The staff again were amazing and very polite . The British people on here complaining about the food must be used to chicken nuggets and other junk food. My youngest is the pickiest eater imaginable and she loved the food . She tried all sorts of food including paella and the different veg on offer and lived most of it . The snack bar does do basic burgers and hot dogs if that’s your thing but we’re in Portugal not the uk so we were more than happy with the food . The only thing I would say would maybe increase vegan options ? My wife can’t have dairy and although there was enough dairy free options she was quite limited in what she could have . Maybe a vegan pizza, or 1 or 2 vegan desserts and some oat milk would have been great. Soya milk is available at breakfast but is the most inferior of milk alternatives so a choice would have been nice . Now the entertainment . Just a big thankyou to all the entertainment/animation team.We enjoyed all the night time entertainment . The Portuguese dance show was great as were the traditional costumes . The tunnel of terror was brilliant ! Halloween is quite a big thing in our house and this was better than any of us expected . There was a delay on us entering but the young French lad was so polite and apologetic and kept telling us they want to get it right and it has to be safe . All 4 of us were absolutely buzzing when we came out of the tunnel . You could see the work and effort that had gone into this. Speaking of work and effort , the final Halloween show. Wow ! Absolutely brilliant . I can’t imagine the effort end work that went into this . The young French girl with blonde who created it was in tears at the end which showed how much it meant . My wife turned to me and said “I knew she’d have had something to do with it “ all the animation team were amazing but this girl was non stop throughout the entertainment , so a special thankyou to her . The entertainment is not aimed at the French . It’s done in 4 languages English, french , Portuguese and Spanish . I think the British people complaining should stick with places like Benidorm . In fact the worst parts of our break was British kids running wild whilst their “parents” were getting to drunk to care . Older French people at the buffet not understanding how to que was also annoying but in no way the fault of the hotel . Thanks again to the hotel and all the staff we encountered ! Ashley ,room 1432

After reading some of the reviews we went here with an open mind. We arrived at reception to find both members of staff very helpful and friendly. Our room was 324 in block 3. One flight of stairs so no bother. The room was a 1 bedroom with 2 balcony’s, large lounge/kitchen area. We were B&B and the food was basic but ok. Every member of staff was friendly, helpful and informative. Great swimming pool and pool bar. Attached to the Ukino was a bar called Sweetspot and it was. A great little bar and great staff. No complaints here. I found about 20 restaurants in the local area and ate in 6. The area has a few hills but doable. There was 2 fantastic beaches very close but there are steps or a steep road getting down to them. We really enjoyed this cheap 3* Hotel. Great value for money.

We were very pleased with our 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with full kitchen, lounge/diner, balcony and roof terrace. What's not to like? We also had a beautiful bougainvillea outside. A change of sheets would have been nice, but not really a problem for just a week. The pool area is spacious with plenty of sunbeds and shade under the trees, but no parasols, and the pool is cold. This did not stop my friend doing her daily exercise, but too chilly for me. Unfortunately the back gate to the pool area was locked, so we had to take the longer route and down a steep flight of steps to access the pool. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The negatives of the property are the location (a big problem), and lack of Wifi (an inconvenience) anywhere other than by the pool. The property is advertised as in Armacao de Pera, but is in fact in Alporchinos. The mini market on site was not open, but there is a large supermarket 5 or so minutes up the road and about 7/8 restaurants a bit further on (3 of which are Indian!). The beaches are a good 15/20/25 minutes walk - downhill on the way and therefore uphill on the way back. The main beach at A de P is long, sandy and very busy, but accessible. Of the other 2 coves - Redonda is virtually inaccessible to anyone with walking difficulties and Senhora da Rocha is busy, because boat trips go from there and there is also a restaurant. It is also not very big. We had a boat trip in a traditional Portuguese fishing boat, which was good apart from the dozens of kyakers and a constant stream of small boats also visiting the caves and bays. Apart from these boat trips there doesn't seem much else to do unless you want to hike along the cliffs.
