Good:
Breakfast buffet is huge and has a lot of options, both healthy and unhealthy. TV had English options. Pool is a great size although not very deep and ice cold, but very good for swimming. Close to the Praia da Rocha beach and the marina. Room was huge.
Can be improved:
The pool is very salty/chlorine and it hurts your eyes. Breakfast does not open until 7:30. Staff was friendly but didn’t offer proper help when arriving by car — they told us there was free parking but refused to say how to get there (it was just next to the hotel but had an entrance further away) because they wanted us to pay for their parking (10 euros per day). TV was small. They gave us a card to fetch towels in the reception instead of just giving them to us straight away when we checked in?? No shops nearby to buy snacks. There was no trash bin in the room, we had to put the trash bag in it ourselves.

Stayed here with a group. Upgraded my room to an apartment for ♿️ accessibility. There is only one ♿️ parking spot in the car park which has a metal pole exactly where you open your door 🫣 perhaps not planned well but be aware when parking.
The hotel/ resort is a nice airy and open layout perfect for me with allergies. The room was big and in great condition, television big with many premium channels. Beds are very hard and caused me numbness, not an uncommon problem in hotels in the Algarve so I assume normal for the area. Breakfast was quite possibly the most comprehensive spread of types and styles of breakfast. Beyond ten out of ten for this. The onside restaurant made potentially life threatening errors with my meal relating to my severe allergies, I couldnt eat the meal I was served or the side dishes and the kitchen has no allergy protocol for severe allergies. Theu even served my main with one of my worst allergens proudly atop the dish after 15 minutes ensuring this cannot and would not happen. I drove to Lidl in the end for food.the apartment had very limited accessories for the kitchenette, no saucepans or pots to cook with dispite there being a hob.
The views from the room, the bar and the restaurant are fabulous but the lack of care in the kitchen has left a bad taste, for want of a better term. If you're a normal non faulty human this place is great for the price point. If you need extra care to stay alive, probably not the place for you.

We had a great time at the NH Marina Portimão Resort.
It is a huge hotel, but we were lucky to get a room around the pool, on the ground floor, 10 steps from our tanning chairs.
a Short walk to the huge beach, and to Av. Tomás Cabreira, for all the restaurants and bars.
The pool is huge, with sea salty water.
Nice basic gym, great breakfast overlooking the Marina.
We had a late flight and had the option for a late check out.
We will be back.

Great location with nice rooms. Our room had a rooftop with chairs and lounge chairs for tanning. One issue was the moldy bathroom- no ventilation caused black mold. We were sick with upper respiratory infections by day four. Pool was nice and there is poolside service with food and beverages. The breakfast buffet is included and there’s a nice variety of food. The buffet included made to order omelettes the buffet also included fresh fruit, pastries, potatoes, mimosas, juices, meats, cheeses, pancakes, and more. There’s a fitness center. There’s also a kids play area. There is a golf cart that can take you around the facility by request. If you need an airport shuttle, please schedule it in advance because it’s not readily available upon demand the boardwalk is within walking distance. There is a liquor store within walking distance. There are many places to eat nearby.

Absolutely brilliant beautiful place to stay🙌.
Location was the best being flat to walk to the beach and bars whereas all of the hotels in the area are up higher, climbing steps. Lovely two storey hotel with great swimming pool. Rooms lovely with air con and kept very clean. Service great polite helpful staff. Food ..amazing. And the views from the restaurant are to die for... overlooking Marina and Estuary...so many beautiful boats passing by. My husband was in his element. We would definitely recommend and will certainly be back. Thank you for making our stay so great.
