Exceeded our expectations – fantastic value for money!
We stayed at Plaza Real by Atlantic Hotels as a family group of 8, and after reading some mixed reviews beforehand we weren’t quite sure what to expect. We’re so pleased to say it completely exceeded our expectations.
We knew we were booking a basic 3-star hotel and were simply looking for a clean, affordable base with a pool while we explored the Algarve. It was perfect for exactly that.
Our apartments were really spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The pool was fantastic and our children absolutely loved spending hours in it every day. There were always sunbeds available, which made it feel much more relaxed than many larger resorts.
One of the biggest highlights was the staff. Every member of the team we met was friendly, welcoming and happy to help, which really made a difference to our stay. Special shout out to Oscar, Matilda and Carla who run the restaurant bar - we definitely kept them on their toes! But nothing was too much trouble.
We only had the continental breakfast included, but we also ate lunch and dinner there several times. The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were generous and the prices were incredibly reasonable!
The location worked really well for us too. It was peaceful and quiet at night, but only a short walk or a very inexpensive Uber ride to Praia da Rocha, restaurants, supermarkets and local attractions. We found Uber to be quick and very affordable throughout our stay.
If you’re looking for luxury, this probably isn’t the hotel for you. But if you want excellent value for money, friendly staff, a great pool and a comfortable base for exploring the Algarve, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Plaza Real.
We had an amazing holiday and would happily stay here again.

Staff bullys
Staff were really nasty to us after we queried a charge that came out on our end but they had no record of it. I approached the situation very calmly and was just enquiring about it, paid in cash instead. The staff were very aggressive and after the incident they wouldn't even come over to our table to ask us if we needed anything despite going to every other table repeatedly. They made us feel so unwelcome even though we had small kids and made us wait for drinks and food as long as they possibly could. Beds were uncomfortable.
Enjoyable stay
Just returned from 2 weeks here, very enjoyable stay. Everyone we dealt with in Hotel were very professional and pleasant. Apt is very large and nicely finished. Everything we needed was there. Lovely balcony overlooking pool. Air-conditioning was really needed on a few occasions. Did try and leave the patio doors open in the bedroom but the seagulls were really loud and woke me repeatedly. Watch out for them as one pinched my breakfast when I stepped inside for 30 seconds. They're a bit of a pest to be honest. Dont wear flip flops if heading to the strip as theres a very rough patch of stones that would challenge anyone with walking difficulties. Really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely return .

Great size apartment
Great sized apartment with large rooms & large balcony. We had a room with balcony facing out to fields instead of to the pool which was fab as it’s a bit more private. Bar onsite serves good food. The couple Oscar & Mathilda who run it are lovely. Close to shops/resturants. 10 minute walk to the beach & 20 minutes into Portimao. Would definitely choose here again if returning to Portimao.
