Several years ago, my hubby and I were booked at the Real (the budget version of the porto) and we were upgraded free of charge to the Gran Porto . What a fabulous surprise! And we have been going to back to the Porto ever since! We even bring our kids, 13, 14, 21 each summer to stay for a week. And it has never failed us! We get the absolute best ...

The location of this resort is perfect if you love to shop or just relax. The staff were very accomodating. The rooms were clean, the grounds were kept up. The food was great. They had a different theme for dinner every night. They had a show almost every night. I parasailed for the first time ever. What a blast!!!! The bar closed at either ...

with very few exceptions, the people where fantastic. the service was great. The food was not as good as I expected, but I didn't lose any weight.The beach, the hotel all made for a great trip. I won't go back only because of the 'bait and switch' routine with our room. They claimed our rooms where not available but we could ...

Needless to say my wife and I always look forward to our vacation at the Gran Porto.
We find the staff to be very accomadating in every way.
We have recommended Gran Porto Real to friends and family over the years resulting in 8 to 10 of us returning over the years.
We are planning for another trip this year Jan 27 to Feb 10 2008 and hope to get ...

the hotel was clean, staff was extremely friendly and accomodating, food was excellent beautiful beaches, the hotel rooms were very nice, spacious, clean and relaxing one of the best we've stayed at. deffinately planning on returning...............

This was our first time here. We loved our room and the staff was great. We stayed here May 10 - 16th and there were not a lot of children, which was nice for us. The only thing I was not impressed about was the food, but I did not go there for that. The food was adequate. The alcoholic drinks were weak until I monitored the bar tenders who made my drinks for me. Then they were much better. We would absolutely go back!

My wife and I just returned from two weeks in this great hotel. This hotel is actually better than the travel brochures show. I guess the most satisfying aspect of the trip was the workers in the hotel from the reception desk to the maintenance workers all were incredably friendly and efficient. we did not find any that did not give their best to ...
