Once called the Alvor Luna Bay when bedrooms seemed larger!!! Renamed and reshaped. Swishly refurbed as new. Now the main problem is the lack of storage in what seem smaller bedrooms despite voluminous balconies. Simply, storage is inadequate for two guests for longer than a week, maximum. Let me describe............ a small [4feet tall?] open metal wardrobe rail with five fixed point clothes hangers. Four or five open shelves beside this rail., one occupied by the rooms safe. In all other respects its fine. The staff good and plentiful and helpful. The location the best in town!
Nos encantó, está muy bien por el precio y el personal muy amable. Quizá un punto que pueda servir para seleccionar este hotel es que no siempre cobran el depósito que mencionan en la publicación, a nosotros no nos tocó lo cual fue genial para no preocuparnos por tener el efectivo del depósito. Rica estancia.
Dotarliśmy około godziny 15:00, a osoba w recepcji nie mogła znaleźć naszej rezerwacji dokonanej za pośrednictwem Trip.com. Bardzo rozgniewany i natarczywy powiedział nam, że nie może nic zrobić i że musimy skontaktować się z Trip.com, aby rozwiązać z nimi problem (po 9 godzinach podróży i otrzymaniu wszystkich możliwych e-maili z potwierdzeniem). Podczas gdy czekaliśmy na odpowiedź Trip.com, inna osoba zadzwoniła do nas, mówiąc, że wszystko jest w porządku, że nie mogą jej znaleźć z powodu „błędu komputera”. Żadnych przeprosin, nic takiego.
Pokój nie był zły, drugie piętro, dobra lokalizacja. Hotel jest stary i nie zasługuje na 5 gwiazdek. Szczerze mówiąc, obecnie ma 4 gwiazdki i za zapłaconą cenę jest w porządku.
Dobre śniadanie w formie bufetu, równie dobra i uprzejma obsługa.
Mieliśmy problem pewnego dnia, kiedy nie posprzątali pokoju. Musieliśmy złożyć skargę o 19:30, a oni posprzątali i zrobili to bardzo szybko (i w dość „lekki” sposób), ale cóż...
Nie możemy skomentować SPA, siłowni itp., ponieważ nie korzystaliśmy z tych usług.
Check was fast, friendly and efficient. Room was very good. Large bed, safe balcony, very clean, tea and coffee making facilities in the room.Rituals toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was a hot and cold buffet with good choices in all areas. Pool looked clean but didn't use it. Dinner menu had a good selection of dishes but again did not use.
Beautiful property right on Praia da Rocha. Excellent service at check-in, was given a quick tour of the lobby and room by a wonderful gentleman. Beautiful and tidy room, stunning view from balcony, though the small bathroom window opens into the corridor and at times there is an unpleasant odour from a pipe in the toilet. Breakfast was adequate and delicious, staff were helpful and nice. Overall a great place to stay!
Pro: Hotel Alba was very clean, the staff at breakfast were very hard working, if a plate was empty on the table, they would remove it straight away. Check in wasn't until 4pm which is a little late than usual but our room was ready by 3pm so we were allowed to go in a bit earlier. The room was a lovely size, plenty of space, comfortable bed and very good shower. Breakfast was very good - pastries/fruit and a little cooked breakfast - buffet style. Plenty of beds and umbrellas around the pool.
Con: The reception staff not very friendly and the 'bar' (which is just an array of alcohol bottles on the back shelf of reception) not great. Missing a trick here to not have a few more comfortable chairs/umbrellas around the top end of swimming pool and a 'mobile' bar and maybe serve snacks/toasties etc.
Obiekt położony jest naprzeciwko pięknej plaży i jest doskonałym miejscem na poranny spacer, a także na spokojny spacer lub jogging w pięknym zachodzie słońca. W spa obowiązują określone godziny otwarcia i obowiązują opłaty.
The hotel room was confortable, sufficient for what we needed, which was simply a place to spend the night. The food wasn't that good. But considering the price, it was acceptable. Overal the hotel was nice and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
Bardzo dobry

Very Good
WwanderwithanningOur stay at The Editory By The Sea Lagos was amazing!
✔️ Very clean and well-maintained
✔️ Spacious and comfortable rooms
✔️ Wide variety of breakfast choices
✔️ The sauna, indoor pool, and outdoor pool are definitely a must-try
✔️ Great location — close to the town centre and beach
✔️ Quiet, relaxing, and perfect for a chill getaway
One of the best places to stay in Lagos if you want a peaceful holiday while still being near everything. Would definitely stay here again.
GGuest UserExperience started badly at check-in when they refused to add my wife to the booking as Trip.com’s mobile “deal” was for one guest in room. Snarky reception person rude and borderline hostile - this was our third stay at this property and as in the past, we felt a subtle bias against us as non-Portuguese. The Front Desk Manager got involved and he refused to comp. me my wife’s addition to our room and said we had to pay euros 40 for her two day’s breakfasts. He appeared unkempt with s dirty shirt and was unshaven . His attitude was aggressive and disrespectful in the extreme. We asked to be relocated to a higher floor from the 2nd floor and he informed me that there were no sea view rooms on upper floors. This was patently a lie as the initial receptionist told me that the hotel was not fully booked.
While I was in discussions with the front desk receptionist, a hotel guest came up and complained that her room was bery hot. She was told by the same snarky receptionist that the aircon was off due to a system changeover and she should open her balcony door! When I asked the same question later on to another receptionist, he said that they could give me a fan. She was and English lady and when a Portuguese guest arrived to check/in, that dame clerk was all over him with handshakes all around. Other staff around the property didn’t seem overly friendly to guests as well.
It is unforgivable for any hotel, let alone a supposed 5 star property, not to have its HVAC system operable and even worse, not to advise guests of the issue.
Our room was spacious, if a little warm, but showed the ravages of time with chipped furniture and surfaces. Also, not too impressed by the powdered coffee presented in the room, or a euros 3 charged for a bucket of ice.
I cannot recommend this property for a stay in Portimao and there are a few other more undated hotels nearby.
TTamelaNot my first time in Faro but chose this hotel for the rooms with balcony marina view. The hotel has a rich history and has been around since 1960s and its undergoing refurbishments in some areas.
The old rooms look dated and could do with better cleaning as previous occupant’s hair was found in the bathroom.
We loved the design & aesthetic looks of the new refurbished areas such as the spa, bathrooms, gym, pool & sauna but shame that there was a water leak in the indoor pool ceiling and rusty bits on the stainless steel railings. Considering it’s completed in Aug 2025, the hotel may need to do more due diligence to ensure the safety of guests.
As a non Portuguese speaker, I felt that the check-in staff can make more efforts in being warm and welcoming. I noticed that this hotel is one of the few hotels ive been that check-in staffs are seated instead of standing, making the process somehow casual & less welcoming. I also called in to make a request for a late check out and received a hostile response by a lady who said ‘No. We need the room back’.
We just got married the day before arriving & we are here to also celebrate my honeymoon & partner’s birthday. Weeks prior to arriving, I put in a request if the hotel could do a birthday special for him but this was not acknowledged.
As an avid traveller who has stayed in many hotels around the world, I am a little dissapointed with the lack of personalised attentive service provided by the hotel. If the view & location isn’t a concern, I recommend the nearby 3HB hotel. We enjoyed our stay there.
AP Eva senses have a great deal of potential, but they may be complacent at going beyond, as they are currently the only hotel at Faro marina. Additional employees like the elder gentleman pianist & hotel hairdresser were the warmest I’ve come across.
YYaoThe best four-star hotel, I will go to portimao again because of this hotel, there is a very comfortable balcony, there is a swimming pool upstairs, the hotel also has a free shuttle bus to the beach, there is also a spa but you need to book in advance, the breakfast is also very rich and fresh. There is also a well-equipped gym, everything is very complete. It is also very close to the starting point of the pier to take a boat to see the caves and dolphins, just 3 minutes away. Great!
GGuest UserThe hotel, cleanliness, decor, rooftop bar, breakfast, location, staff, and free access to the hammam, spa, and pool are all very good.
There are a few drawbacks, which is a bit of a shame. The hotel doesn't provide bathrobes or slippers. This is unfortunate, as you have to go down to the spa fully clothed and change in the changing rooms downstairs. I found the pool area a little neglected. The water was nice and warm, but the jacuzzi jets, hydrotherapy jets, and chromotherapy shower were under maintenance. The speakers above the pool were rusty, which made it look a bit neglected, which is a shame. On the other hand, the Turkish bath and sauna were very good.
TTatsianaThe hotel is just 14 mins walking from the beach. The room was big and very clean. Breakfast is simple but you can find everything. There is sauna and gym, free parking.
AAnonymous UserIt's a great place to take a morning walk or a leisurely walk or jog in front of a beautiful beach. The spa is divided into time slots and requires a fee.
TTippyToesThis hotel is at an excellent location which is right on the sea front. The beach is just across the the promenade. Plenty of shops and eateries along the promenade and a short walk to the marina.
You can hire a bike from the hotel for a reasonable price and they provide a lock so you can explore the area which has lots to see.
All in all this is a very good hotel. Will love to return again some day.
FfungioThe service was good as the staff were always keen to help. The location is at a walking distance to the Gale beach. However, there were flying ants keeping coming into the room, although hotel helped us to clean up for once.
