The service and quality of this hotel is incredible. I would recommend Bela Vista to anyone who wants a true 5-star experience. I can’t wait to come back. Better than many of the 5-star hotels I’ve stayed at around the US.

No sure how this place got its 5 star or maybe its been paying to retain it since 1881 since the conditions of these hotel rooms would suggest that was when it was last renovated, or even cleaned. Upon arrival, you are met with a bombarding strip of drunk loud tourists which the hotel imagines you’ll leave behind once they close an open bared gate. Dont let that fool you, drum and bass are still banging through well into your confined jail cell. 350sq ft has miraculously translated to 200sq ft here at Bela Vista. It makes sense why they dont issue refunds, without the blown out lighting and what I’d assume is facetune for the hospitality challenged, all guest will be rushing out the door when they lay down for a goods night rest only to be met with stains on their pillows. 10/10 would not recommend

This is a very special place: grown-up, sophisticated and the very opposite of a chain. A short walk down to the huge beach. And, a haven from the craziness of the street on the other side of the elegant gates. The breakfast bar is extraordinary. Staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough for us. I rarely say this, as the world is big, but we will be back.

We loved our stay at Bela Vista! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable from the second we arrived. Portimão itself is perhaps a little more touristy than other cities in the Algarve, but Bela Vista felt like an oasis away from this. We absolutely LOVED the daily breakfast, pool facilities, and Vista Restaurant - this was the best meal we’ve ever had in our lives!

Excellent Service from all the staff. At the price we expect Four Seasons esk service and we got this. Major issue was NO HOT WATER FOR 3 DAYS. Luke warm water. This must have been an on going issue and we were kindly given a room night complementary.

Property was lovely as was most of the staff. I had an unfortunate experience as because I booked through Travelocity instead of direct that I was made to feel from a male staff receptionist that I was not important. A second booking for my son did not get through (my fault). When my son booked the hotel across the street I was told the would not accommodate him as my guest. Very glad that his name was on my room instead. Bottom line book directly with this hotel.
