    Highly recommended overall and very nearly perfect.

    rating03 Jun 2026

    Fantastic location in very close proximity to the beach. Lovely, very spacious rooms, most with the option of panoramic sea views.Generally peaceful (in May anyway) albeit with some occasional boom-box noise from the pavement-level bar upstairs.Food very good and the selection at breakfast and dinner always had something to appeal, including a good selection of fresh seafood at dinner.We felt that all hotel staff were genuinely very friendly, and always helpful and polite. There were many individuals worthy of a special mention but to have done so would have detracted from the work undertaken by the backroom staff whose names we didn’t know.WiFi is free but sometimes unreliable. The mobile signal is pretty good though so we were able to stay connected just fine with our data plans.Our only major disappointment concerned the hotel’s rather silly rule regarding the gentlemen’s dress code for the evening meal in the restaurant. This rule stipulates, for example, no shorts or t-shirts and wouldn’t be silly if it was enforced - it never was. We subsequently learnt that basically the restaurant is open to all which includes anyone wandering in off the beach. Make of that what you will but, as Evening Dining in shorts and t-shirts doesn’t fit with our own personal taste in a 4 star hotel restaurant then we’d probably opt only for a B&B package if we ever stayed again and visit any of the many local eateries instead.

    Impressive hotel 🏨

    rating27 May 2026

    Lovely hotel friendly staff, great facilities nice food, I was impressed as I'm a vegetarian and it catered well for that, which I've struggled in the past from other hotels that don't give a second thought, I would've given a 5 star but knocked it down to 4 star based on the fact I didn't sleep well because the duvet was way too thick as I'm a middle aged female I kept waking up feeling hot even with the air conditioning on.Location is in a quiet area 10 minutes walk to the rowdy bars which was too much in your face it seemed like they was competing with each other it would've been nice to have normal couple of bars to drink in Oriental H, Diretor-Geral at AP Oriental Beach Hotel, responded to this review Dear Joanne G,Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your stay with us.It is especially gratifying to know that you appreciated the friendliness of our staff, the facilities, the hotel's tranquil location, and the variety of food options, particularly the attention given to the needs of vegetarian guests. Recognition that we excel in this aspect, by providing suitable alternatives, is highly valued by the entire team.However, we regret that the quality of sleep did not fully meet your expectations due to the comfort of the duvet. We understand how this type of detail can affect rest, especially for those sensitive to temperature changes during the night, even with the air conditioning running. Your observation will be duly considered in our evaluations of our services and amenities.We also note your comment about the availability of bars in the surrounding area, understanding that it is not always easy to find establishments that suit all guests. We hope that you were still able to enjoy the serenity and welcoming atmosphere provided by the hotel during your stay.It will be a pleasure to welcome you back in the future, providing you with even more comfortable and memorable moments.Best regards,Pedro Contente AP Oriental - Hotel Manager

    Nearly a perfect holiday

    rating21 May 2026

    There was so much that was good about the hotel: the position, the size of the room and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and the stay should have been perfect. But it was let down by two things. Having been told that our room (520) was one of the most demanded by returning guests, we were horrified when for two nights there were three hours when the room shook as bass speakers directly above us in the hotel’s external bar pounded unendingly. The young guy on reception said it was licensed and that we were lucky it was only for three hours. But when we went to see the crowds enjoying the music at the bar on one night there was nobody and on the second two people. It seemed somewhat pointless. The other issue was the dining room which was open to outsiders and often meant you had to push between too many too closely placed tables to try to get to the food. Both issues did undermine what could have been a perfect stay. Oriental H, Diretor-Geral at AP Oriental Beach Hotel, responded to this review Dear Mark W,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, highlighting the numerous positive aspects of your stay, such as the hotel's prime location, the spaciousness of the room, and the friendliness and helpfulness of our staff. Knowing that several aspects contributed to your stay being almost perfect is undoubtedly a source of pride for all of us.We sincerely regret that some factors affected your comfort, namely the noise from the entertainment in the outdoor bar and the layout of the dining room.Your observations regarding access and circulation in the restaurant, as well as the potential impact on our guests' experience, are also noted and deserve careful consideration in the context of the continuous improvement of our services and common areas.We hope to have the privilege of welcoming you back on a future visit, providing you with a fully satisfactory stay in every respect.Best regards,Pedro Contente AP Oriental - Hotel Manager

    Excellent stay

    rating20 May 2026

    My 6th visit to this hotel. Nothing less than superb as always. You are greeted with the offer of a glass of wine or water whilst you check in. They escort you to your room and explain how everything works. Elizandro was superb throughout my whole stay Room was great, large balcony, very clean and comfortable, plenty of hot water when showering.I was half board and food was plenty, well presented and something for everyone.All staff were friendly ( some more than others but that's always the case).I really would struggle to find fault !. Looking forward to my next visit. Oriental H, Diretor-Geral at AP Oriental Beach Hotel, responded to this review Dear megpol,We sincerely thank you for your loyalty over six stays and for sharing this very positive review of your most recent experience at our hotel.We are delighted to receive your compliments on the warm welcome you received at check-in, the attention to detail in being escorted to your room, and the clarity in explaining the services and amenities. We are equally pleased to know that the comfort, cleanliness, and quality of your stay once again met your expectations, as did the variety and presentation of the meals on the half-board plan.We also appreciate your recognition of the friendliness of our staff, essential elements in making each visit memorable. Your comment motivates us to maintain high standards of hospitality and quality in all services provided.It will always be a privilege to welcome you back and provide you with new enjoyable experiences.Best regards,Pedro Contente AP Oriental - Hotel Manager
