Tarik by Atlantichotels

Wonderful place to stay. Very close to Praia da Rocha, supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants and bars. I really recommend staying here in this apartment.

Me and my mum arrived here from 4-7th March. We got dropped off by our transfer which was all booked through love holidays. One hour in a small crammed van seating 9 people. We were the last to get dropped off and once we got into reception we asked to check in and the man on the desk just looked at us and told us no (didn’t speak a word of English) so we asked what he meant by that which he just shrugged his shoulders. He then pointed at a map on the desk and pointed to a destination which was roughly a mile away. So I called our transfer company and they said they knew nothing about it. So I then tried to locate the place he was pointing at. It was another hotel by Atlantichotels. I called and the woman on that desk was lovely and spoke very good English to which she told us we had to walk there to collect the keys to check in to our apartment. All the man on my hotel reception done though was look at us and shrug which was very rude and unhelpful. So we ended up walking upto this hotel with our suitcases because our receptionist said he can’t take out luggage while we walked there. We got the keys and a code which unlocks our door (both which you need to use) but the woman wanted €200 from us as a deposit incase “we break anything” but as we were only there for 3 nights we only brought €250 so we told her no as we would only have 50 left to do us. Once we got a taxi back the reception at our place was closed with barriers down at the desk. Again not very helpful because what if someone came to check in. We walked into the room and immediately was disgusted. Coffee stains on the coffee table, dirty floor, a “mopped” bathroom which has streaks on it. Cracked tiles, a big dark stain on the curtain, a ********** on the bed sheets, mould in the creases where the window opens. Just not great at all and not once did any housekeeper or maid come in so we had to use the same towels for 4 days. Don’t get me wrong the area itself it beautiful, we went at the wrong time of year tho as a lot of it was closed or quiet but those Atlantichotels is not the place to be. Go elsewhere.

Stayed here with my son for a week in May . The apartment is in a great location, literally metres from the beach & main *****. It’s located on quite a steep hill so it’s not great for anyone with mobility issues, although we were able to find alternative walking routes to avoid this! You have to collect & return the key to the Plaza Real Hotel which is a five minute drive away. The apartment itself was nice, but we booked a twin room & were given a double which meant my son having to sleep on a super uncomfortable sofa bed. I think this is a common issues as some other travellers we spoke to also had the same problem. The apartment was fairly well equipped, with basic cooking utensils & a large fridge, towels etc. My only gripe is it could have been a lot cleaner as there were lots of marks, dust & hair everywhere, which was a shame. Apart from that would definitely recommend.

When arrived at the place had to then go yo another hotel to pick up the keys ghfn back to the apt. Receptionist didn't speak any English and was also rudish trying to explain to him on the phone translator. The apartments very basic . Was only given a few towels which we had to use the whole week unless you wanted to pay an extra £20 which wasn't told about. No cleaner either to change the bed etc. Doors were a code which u had to put on the door handle and didn't work straight away. Took us several times to redo.nothing to do there and this place is certainly not for a family. Only good thing about it that it was 3 mins walk to beach . I don't normally give a review but on this occasion I think people should know about this place. Would certainly not go or recommend this place to stay . Also not told that you have to leave a £200 deposit on a credit card for any breakage etc but you hsve to pay this at a different hotel and also u get dropped off at the apts then taxi to the other place to get sorted out. Transfer is then again to another hotel to drop keys off even leaving then a taxi again to the place where u are picked up to be taken back to airport. So added to this u need extra money for taxi fares

Absolute disgusting rat hole. They expect you to collect and drop off the keys at a different hotel 1 and a half kilometres away and ask for a £200 deposit to make sure you comply. Horrible place. Picture not of the actual apartment. The worst apartment in Portimau. I couldn’t spend one night in that flea pit. Never again.
