Dom Pedro Portobelo

From start to finish we had a wonderful time at this hotel. A special mention, paru, fernando, sagu and sudip. They are a credit to the hotel, nothing was too much trouble. The pool area and rooms are nice and clean. Breakfast was so tasty with lots of choice. We will be back thank you

My partner and I had an excellent 10 nights at Dom Pedro Portobello at the end of September. The 1 bedroom sea view apartment felt huge! The furniture/decor and utensils in the kitchinette/living room and bedroom were a little dated in style but in great condition. The bathroom was more modern, plenty of space, big mirror with plenty of light, great shower. Decent sized pool with plenty of sun loungers and parasols (all that towel out early stuff isn't allowed - appreciated). We never spent any time in the bar area, but very much enjoyed the one evening meal we had at the restaurant - my swordfish main was particularly tasty. We had breakfast included which we were very happy with, even after 9 of them!. I'll call out the pasteis de nata, fresh watermelon/melon/pineapple, and surprisingly good scrambled eggs as highlights. Amazingly friendly, flexible, and helpful staff - at reception, in the restaurant, and room cleaning. Our last morning was a very early exit and they kindly arranged a packed breakfast for us to go. We never got a chance to use it but we were told it's possible to access a spa at a neighbouring Dom Pedro hotel. The location is good, 5 min walk to either the beach or marina. Vilamoura we found a little pricier than the more Portuguese/less touristy Algarve towns like Faro, Loule, Tavira, but still cheaper than the UK. There's plenty of good food and drink options - especially all the fresh seafood. We would happily return here in the future.

Hotel located nearby of the Vilamoura marina and at back has a free carparking but is always full. The staff is top specially the cleaning ladies who are always available to provide support and sugestions on were to go or visit. The hotel furniture is very very old who remember the 80`s and needs to be replaced asap. The flat is good with enough space for the family and confortable. The bar at night is empty without customers and needs to be refurbished/updated.

I am a time share owner who traded a week for this week. The location is perfect for walking to the marina, nearby restaurants, market or pharmacy and the ****** is right across the street. The staff is simply amazing from the front desk to the housekeeping and shuttle drivers that take you to golf. (The golf courses are crazy pretty but that’s a different review). The unit itself was a one bedroom and very spacious including a large lanai with views of the ocean and surrounding hotels. But I can’t give five stars because the unit is so old. The TVs aren’t “smart” so no streaming. The appliances are all dangerously old. There’s very little artwork to brighten the place up, the beds were not that comfy. The HVAC was off which was okay because we didn’t need heat or air and could open the doors to the lanai. But a ceiling fan would have been great at night so we could close the door and not be too warm. There is a lot of late night foot traffic below coming from the bars at the marina or the ****** and the sounds carry so nighttime earbuds came in handy. The nightstands are small and the lamps are glued down so space is limited for something like a cpap machine should you need it. You must do your own dishes but there is no dishwasher or dish soap so get some at the market. No starter paper towel roll either like in similar units . No coffeepot for us spoiled Americans. Get some instant coffee! Overall we really enjoyed our stay, just wish they would update the units and I would come back.

There is nothing negative I can bring you here. Location: Fantastic with 2 minutes walk to marina Room: OMG Bigger than my house with a wonderful sea view Breakfast: Best I have had and I travel a lot Staff: All lovely, helpful and friendly Will definitely return to this lovely hotel if I come back to Vilamoura Thank you for a wonderful stay ♥️

8 of us have just returned for a 5 nights stay (3 rounds of golf). The hotel is a great location with plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. The apartments are very spacious with comfy beds and an excellent shower! Yes the decor is a little old but it 100% did the job for us. Breakfast was nice and the staff very friendly. If your looking for a hotel to stay for a group golf trip I’d 100% recommend Dom Pedro Portobelo

My friends and I (the caravan club) had our yearly meet here in March and I could not believe my luck when I saw this place. I didn’t know 7 star hotels existed. The place had a modern and elegant feel about it despite having a timeless complexion. Staff are excellent and the Restaurant on site (Rafaels) must be getting its Michelin star soon. Very friendly golfers staying here and the service is efficient. I thought we had booked the suite when I saw the kitchen in the room but was amazed it was just a standard room. The rooms have a classic feel about them and are very very comfortable. Breakfast is really good and the flambé’d bacon is a nice touch. The golf courses are awesome too and the tuna baguettes delivered by the buggy girl are superb. As you can imagine the caravan club swiftly wash this down with a premium South African lager Super Bok. It’s a short walk into town and you have some really good local Cuisines such as the Chinese and Pizza Hut.

All the staff were really great Views were great from the 9th floor. 1 bed apartment is good but kitchen needs updating, utensils, china ,cutlery, electrical goods all good. Great position, sea views and near the marina. Breakfasts were very good, lovely staff in attendance. We will certainlyvreturn. return.

Portobello is a nice hotel ,we visited just after Xmas and had New Year here .The room we had was a studio apartment with separate bedroom and kitchenette.The apartment was spacious and a lovely sea view (sixth floor ) ,new bathroom (soap,shower gel provided)with exceptionally good shower.The only thing that lets the accommodation down in our room is the tired woodwork and no washing up liquid.Maid service is excellent everyday (beds made ,towel change,bins emptied).Was a bit concerned with previous reviews on the breakfast but we thought it was awesome bacon ,eggs,cereals ,toast,yogurt,fruit juice and selection of pastries. All in all nice experience staff very helpful and friendly.
