Portimao is wonderful because it has pretty much everything. A stunning beach [Praya du Rocha] , fabulous marina [with boat trips out to sea and along the river] There are simply hundreds of resturants bars and cafe's to suite all tastes [incl many vegitarian/vegan choices] It is abit high rise and there is some litter/graffiti but overall its a pretty clean and certainly a safe city. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and we were not hassled to go in returants etc There are buses everywhere and taxi's are reasonably We took one to the very smart Aqua shopping Centre which has about 75 stores, some quite large and well known to uk shoppers

Very relaxed and clean area. The people were very friendly. Both children and adults are very well catered for. Lots of alternative and ethnic restaurants, the food quality was very good, freshly made pasta very evident.

Theft fraud phone hacking bad taxis and busses taking me to t he wrong locations locals stealing everything and harassment at the beach. I was blocked from receiving inivitations by families and organisations to stay on the private beaches and I was robbed and at a victim of organised crime. The Portuguese portimao crime management team need to fix the problem! I want compensation and my holiday is ruined. Phone hacking even caused my bolt taxi service to be blocked and intercepted causing me to miss my bus back to the airport where I then had no money to get home so complete strangers had to buy my ticket and I now owe them 8 euros. Portimao is not safe or organised it is a disappointment to see so much crime and very little being done in terms of respect and unity. I will return but I am disappointed, mostly the problem is a lack of communication between the different organisations that exist whose job it is to protect and serve

Very beautiful and clean.nice to walk around particularly marina area.we eat in different restaurants. All very good food. Very easy getting around on foot. Brilliant week.would definitely recommend this place. Will be back for sure.

It is easy to get around; restaurants, shops, entertainment and the beach. It is vibrant. It offers a wide variety of eateries for all budgets at very reasonable prices. Service at any of them is very good.

Large beaches, beautiful coastline and seaside promenade. A large number of bars, restaurants, drink bars and clubs. In the port a large number of opportunities to purchase sea trips. Good location for exploring the Algarve.
