NH Marina Portimao
Portugal, Europe
Praia da Rocha
Set beside the scenic marina in Portimão, NH Marina Portimão Resort offers a relaxing base to enjoy the laid-back beach life of the Algarve. Just under 45 kilometres from Faro Airport, the resort is perfectly positioned near Praia da Rocha beach, and within easy reach of local shops, restaurants, and family attractions. On-site parking adds to the convenience for those exploring the coast by car.
The resort is divided into three areas – Marina Sun, Marina Deck, and Marina Beach – all within walking distance of the pools, restaurants, and bars. If you’d rather not walk, a complimentary buggy service is available to take you comfortably around the resort, including to and from Praia da Rocha.
There are three outdoor saltwater pools, including one large main pool, and one for children, surrounded by sunbeds and umbrellas. Guests can also make use of the 24hr on-site gym, while younger travellers will enjoy the seasonal children’s club and entertainment.
Start your day with a generous breakfast showcasing local Portuguese flavours, served fresh each morning. The main restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner, offering a menu of seasonal dishes made with quality ingredients. For something more casual, enjoy light bites or a refreshing drink at the hotel’s main bar or the poolside bar during the summer months.

Great hotel in a good location
We stayed here for two weeks in a one bedroom apartment with a roof terrace and balcony. It could sleep four with a double bedroom and sofa bed in the living area.
The kitchenette had a sink, kettle, Espresso machine, small microwave and a small fridge. There was plenty of plates, cups, bowls, dishes and cutlery to have food in the apartment as there was a table in the living area, one in the balcony and up on the roof terrace also.
There was plenty of storage space with plenty of hangers and drawers for your clothes.
The bathroom had a shelf underneath as well as the space around the sink for your toiletries.
The bathroom is a monsoon shower head and a handheld shower attachment as well which you use in the bath. We could nit isolate the shower handheld in our room 137. The bath is also a bit lethal as the non stick doesn’t provide any effect and there are no mats provided, beware! Especially if you have left the bath tub soapy as there are no handles to hold on to when you step in or out the bath.
The public areas and gardens are kept beautifully tidy and clean, but housekeeping is not brilliant at cleaning your room. We decided to be eco-friendly and not use the service every day as this is an option the hotel offers and you get tickets for a free drink per person, but there are restrictions applicable on what you can have.
On the days we did have the room cleaned, they didn’t top up the tissues in the bathroom, give us more toilet rolls, or clean the floor adequately. It had definitely not been swept or mopped. We got clean bedding on one occasion and new bath towels.
The breakfast choice was plentiful, choice of cooked, lots of cereals, pastries, fruit, cheese and cold meats, pancakes, coffees, teas and juices. You were spoilt for choice.
There is a snack bar during the day and two restaurants on site, an Italian and a steak restaurant which we didn’t eat in.
The hotel sits around the Marina which is lovely and there are plenty of other restaurants within easy walking distance to eat at.
Plenty of boat trips to do around the area and you can get the Water Taxi across the river to Ferragudo which is really pretty.
I would also recommend doing the River trip with Alvor Boat trips on Get Your Guide to Silves. It was a lovely leisurely trip up the river and you get either lunch or dinner on the way back. Silves is exceptionally pretty to visit.

How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Nice location and view. Really good breakfast with beautiful view of the water. The beds are really hard without mattress toppers and you can feel the springs. There are no mattress toppers to get hold of att the hotel. The bathroom is quite old fashion with a tub and not very ergonomic of you have any sort of handikap.
A brilliant week in portimao
We have just got back from a wonderful week here.
The positives: The hotel/grounds are immaculate and the staff are brilliant. A shout out to Nina, who was wonderful. She served us at the bar, as well as one evening in the restaurant. She went out her way for us
We upgraded to a two bedroom apartment, the apartment had plenty of room, you had tea / coffee (which you paid for), little fridge etc. we had a balcony and access to the roof terrace.
I love the choice of having your room cleaned daily or receiving drinks vouchers if you chose not to do it every day. Which we did, but we also put the recycling out by the door which they took.
The location is perfect, you’re close to the beach and the marina. We were going to do a cave tour but due to the wind it got cancelled(and refunded). We booked using one of the vendors on the marina, but have since heard if we book online we would have paid a fraction of the price. We took the water taxi over to Ferragudo, which was brilliant, enjoyed walking round - it was a shame we ran out of time as we would have loved to have had lunch there one day too. The little bar over the road from the hotel is brilliant - really friendly staff, lovely food for lunch and cheap drinks. We did breakfast at the hotel everyday which was very good, lots of choice and amazing scenery. We ate at the t bone one evening which was pricy but the food was lovely. We also ate downstairs on our last night, the food was lovely (again a bit pricy). You can rent a surf board from just outside the hotel which was reasonably priced.
The negatives (which there aren’t many):The hotel is looking a bit tired in places as well as the rooms. The drinks / food are quite expensive, and the pool was very cold. But that is where the negatives end.
Overall we had an amazing holiday and would definitely come back to this hotel / area.

In good location for short break
Beautiful pool, great breakfast and view, lovely spot on the marina. Was further to Portimão than I expected. Staff very welcoming and nice reception. Rooms and other public areas are very tired, really needs an upgrade.
Review by wifetoscratch London, United Kingdom
Definitely would recommend.
Absolutely wonderful hotel. Staff are lovely, food is great, nothing was too much trouble. The swimming pool is immaculate as was our room. I genuinely would struggle to find fault in this stay.
