Villa was a very nice size and ideal for two families, with plenty of areas to relax with everyone together, or separately if preferred. All rooms had A/C, which was required in the weather we had during our stay. Swimming pool was large and there was plenty of sun beds and space around the pool, including a BBQ and Pizza Oven. Location was ideal. Being 10minutes from Vilamoura meant it was peaceful and quiet, but only a short ride into Vilamoura or Albuferia (25mins) when we wanted something a bit more lively. We didn't hire car, but found Uber and Bolt very easy and cheap. Host could not have been more helpful and was always available.

The place was spacious and homey with really comfortable beds and couches, plenty of fridge and freezer space for all our food😁The view is stunning with excellent location just a 10 min drive from Vilamoura beach, the area is beautiful and the garden and pool was simply amazing we had such a fabulous time relaxing on the beach chairs in the gorgeous sunshine and enjoying the couches on the balcony as well as having fun in the pool! Our host was very accommodating always communicated immediately and helped us out with whatever we needed!! It was a fantastic holiday, thank you Tony!!

Home away from home, had everything you could need. Nice quiet location, car definitely needed. Fab pool and facilities, great communication with the owner. Would definitely like to return

very spacious villa with everything you could possibly need, fully equipped kitchen, heated pool, comfortable beds, very clean when we arrived and good communication from the owner.

Pool and outdoor areas were excellent. We used the bar b q most evenings for dinner - it was a lovely change from restaurants every night on holiday

Location. Size of the rooms. The swimming pool is huge, deep, and has a sliding canopy that closes it in completely. It acts as a greenhouse and keeps the water the perfect temperature. Dring use, we opened it up. The garden is huge. Huge outside dining area that's under cover and got a BBQ, sink, and worktop area for food preparation. Our towels and bedding were changed halfway through our stay. Marta was brilliant! She gave clear instructions on what documentation was required prior to our arrival and helped during our stay. It was stress free and really appreciated.

We rented the property for our daughter’s wedding and we were delighted with it. It is very well maintained with spacious rooms and beautiful gardens, (great for bridal photos) and a swimming pool suitable for adults and children. Staff were friendly, professional and customer focused. They made us feel very welcome.

Villa and grounds were beautiful. Location was excellent for trips to locations in the Algarve and was close enough to Vale Do Lobo for our golf days! Rooms were very spacious and well maintained, bedding was clean and fresh. Marta was very helpful in the lead up and Saule was very helpful and attentive on arrival! Pool cover was excellent on the windy afternoons and the kitchen was well fitted out for our stay!

Fantastic space and location for a family and the management company where brilliant

Good location, within walking distance of Lidl and short drive to Aquashow park or Quarteira beach. Villa managers kept regular contact and visited a few times to see if we needed anything. Taxi firm recommended by Villa managers were excellent, all drivers were punctual and very friendly.

great swimming pool and both bedrooms had en-suites! The property was cleaned daily and also fresh bread rolls delivered. The staff go above and beyond.

Really great appartment Poole restaurant housekeeping could not have been more helpfull Daily fresh bread mosquitoes

We loved the accommodation. The rooms were stunning. The beds were very comfortable and a great night sleep was had. The sitting room was great in the evenings and we used the balcony every night. The kitchen was fully stacked with everything you could need for home cooking. We were at the pool daily, although quite cold we still swam as it was great to cool off. We played tennis daily and the gym was superb for every workout

Great apartment and lovely complex. Not much to criticise, everything was fabulous. The delicious fresh bread rolls dropped off every morning (bar Sunday) was a nice touch. Daily apartment clean, bed making, towel change was exemplary (again bar Sunday). We loved the Encosta complex swimming pool and most days had it virtually all to ourselves.

Our stay at Fonte Santa Villa was absolutely unreal. It catered for all ages, our party of 6 adults & 5 children 4-13 were all entertained! The house is absolutely beautiful and so spacious. It was spotless on our arrival and we had pool maintenance every few days & a full clean once a week. There are so many positives for this place. But one thing we found great that wasnt mentioned was the general security of the plot and gated patio areas, meaning we could keep our little ones away from the pool when needed & We felt safe and secure. It had many shady spots along with all day sunshine in the garden. It is a about a 20-25 min walk to the beach and the main area of quarteria, but Uber works well in the area and was around €5-€7 euros to get into town. LIDL across the road was certainly helpful and there are a few bars/resturants within the immediate area. Also the weekly (wednesday) clothes market very close by was lovely to have a nose round. Highly recommended tall, I didnt want to leave. Warning! This place WILL give you the holiday blues 💙 Also if your looking for a place to go for the cross over period between check out & a flight home - the tiramisu bar/paddle club, about 5 mins uber down the road was perfect, with a resturant open 8am-12am, huge outdoor pool, trampoline, park, garssed areas & sports facilities. You just cant go wrong!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this villa. The children loved the pool which was warm and deep. There were a few pool toys which was a nice bonus. The games room was well equipped along with the gym, although only used once by my son. We had everything we needed and it was only a short walk to the nearest shop. The terrace and outside areas were lovely to sit at. The air con worked very well. I have to mention Marcela who was a fabulous host. She responded to my messages quickly and dealt with problems when they arose. Thank you Marcela.

This villa is great, we all had a great time and we would love to return. The pool and garden is lovely, lots of seating areas, very well equipped with everything you'll likely need for a holiday. The air conditioning here is probably the best I've ever experienced. The location is far enough from Quarteira and Vilamoura for some peace and quiet, yet close enough to be able to drive/Uber in to the town for entertainment. We walked a few times, but it's a little too far to do every day/night, especially for young ones. The proximity to Lidl is great for picking things up throughout the stay. The waterpark is only 5-10 minutes drive away, too. All in all, we thought it was superb.

EverythingAbout this property was perfect there was 11 of us six adults and five children everything about it was safe secure beautiful pool wonderful accommodation and I would definitely go back again. We were about a mile from the beach but it was a very pleasant walkPast the nature reserve looking forward to going back again

Fonte Santa villa was better than we ever could have imagined. The host was exceptional and the villa is enormous with a brilliant family friendly layout. It's so safe with lots of parking and a lovely warm pool. We wouldn't hesitate to go back

The property is located in a great position just 25 mins walk down to the Marina with shops and restaurants. A very large and spacious property with everything needed for a large group including lots of plates and serving dishes. So much seating area everywhere and the basement is a great addition with pool table, football table, gym, seating area with Netflix. It is worth getting the pool heated in the cooler months, so you get more use of the lovely pool. The fact that all rooms have an en-suite is hard to find so that makes it so much easier with a large group staying.

Booked this villa for a large group of friends, and everyone had an absolute ball! A very comfortable booking experience with a very attentive host who was always on hand for our questions. The villa itself was an absolute castle that comfortably slept 20, (16 in the bedrooms, four with set up single beds in rumpus room) and it had everything we needed from entertainment spaces, outdoor BBQs to the choice of three pools to enjoy the perfect weather in. Easily located a 10 min walk from the supermarket, with the golf course next door and the marina/beach a 20min walk or a €4 five minute Uber, it truly was a memorable place to stay whilst we were in the Algarve. Thankyou Diogo and the team!

Perfect property, perfect location. Pool was spot on without being heated this time of year. It was exactly what we needed for 15 of us! Would highly recommend and we have discussed potentially returning

A lovely quiet location .. yet walking distance from the marina. Perfect for a large party of people. Great pools. Spotlessly clean and prompt response for any queries we had.

The property was ideally located a short Uber trip from the Vilamoura Marina. The Villa was situated close to a number of local golf courses also including Dom Pedro Pinhal/Old course and Vila Sol. The property was furnished with en suite bedrooms which was great for the group staying. Also, the games room and gym, in addition, were a huge benefit! We were lucky to have great weather for our stay in February!

Great space, close to all amenities, great to have use of bikes belonging to owners. Pool great size though you have to clean daily due to trees surrounding pool which also give the advantage of great shade from sunshine

The house, the gardens and all the little extra touches made the family holiday just amazing! The rooms are super spacious and kids had great space to play inside from the heat, the air con was brilliant n the beds were good for holidays! All the extra little toys n swings for the kids were amazing, even lilo's, dice sticks and a couple of balls for the kids plus a great garden at the back to play football. Pool is great for both adults and kids and deep! Kitchen had everything that was needed to cook a small lunch each day for kids n adults! Couldn't have asked for better house for our family holiday n every question we had was answered to finest detail by the host! Even better that we were met at the Villa by her on Arrival day to be shown where everything was.

Villa is in a quiet location within waking distance of Vilamoura marina and Quarteira promenade. Pool area is fenced. Bedrooms are spacious. Marlene was super attentive to our requests.

Location is excellent, great garden and pool!

A most beautiful villa inside and out. Very spacious and well-equipped. The garden is superb - I could have spent my entire vacation in it, with lots of sun and shade. Marylin is a wonderful host.

A beautiful villa in a fantastic location - a short walk to the beach, and close to local shops and some lovely restaurants (Julia’s, The Shack and Marufo 1 near the Quarteira market are our favourites). The villa is spacious, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay - our children spent hours in the pool and games room.

This is a really nice villa - it’s huge, much bigger than it looks on the pics. It has a nice pool, inflatables, good outside space with nice outdoor furniture. It pretty much has everything you need in a villa! Iberian Escapes were v helpful and flexible with us on check in/out.

It was a fabulous stay. Plenty of room and very clean and modern.

The property was lovely. I actually stayed there two years ago, loved it then and the improvements that have been made to the bathrooms have really enhanced the experience. Lovely villa in my favourite part of Portugal.

A beautiful spacious house in a great location to explore the Algarve. A very quiet and private space. All the rooms were well decorated with lovely comfortable furniture.

The outside space was great. The pool was big with lots of outside space. Everything was very clean. The villa is in a lovely quiet area with great views, and the town of Loule is just a 10 minute drive away.

Wonderful villa. The pool is great. Not heated, but it was so hot that it was not needed. Beds were nice, and there's AC in each room. Kitchen has most of the stuff you need.

It had everything you could need for a great family holiday

A beautiful spacious villa, with big bedrooms, all en-suites in a great location. Short transfer via taxi to Faro airport, and met with kind and helpful concierge from Maria. The owner (Maxim) was also in touch before our trip, and was very accommodating to our group’s requirements. Packed full of amenities, including a gas BBQ which we made the most of. Immaculate grounds, with a private pool. Perfect villa for a family, a couple of families, or a larger group. We had an amazing stay, so much so that we are booked to go back again :-)

Second time here now, what’s not to like! a beautiful villa, in a lovely part of the Algarve. 4 big bedrooms, all with en-suite. Note 2 of these are downstairs. The master bedroom’s bathroom upstairs has been renovated since 2024, which was great to see. The owner, Maxim, is a great host and communication with him is always prompt and clear. Maria from the concierge team is so helpful. The swimming pool has recently been renovated and re-tiled which looks incredible. You need a car to get about to the supermarket, beach or restaurants, or just use Uber like we do - which is always timely, cheap and convenient. We love the tranquility and space this villa offers - it’s beautiful. BBQ on the rear terrance out of the sun if you want, and outside dining at the front by the pool. Thanks Maxim

This is a beautiful villa with a gorgeous pool; it's situated within easy walking distance of the beach and several restaurants. We were made very welcome by the housekeeper Maria and a bottle of chilled bubbly, invited to use the bikes, table tennis & so forth. The kitchen & garage are very well stocked with kitchen gadgets, washing machines, beach towels and so forth. The air conditioning was hugely appreciated, as daytime temperatures were between 32 and 35, and at night the temperature only fell to high twenties. We would happily stay again.

Fantastic location, awesome pool, nice social space

Everything!!! Such a beautiful villa in a fabulous spot. Home from home, I honestly couldn’t receommend it enough!

The Villa is located on a large residential estate but it is quiet. Great location for getting around by local taxi or short walk to local bar/restaurant and supermarkets. The property is perfect for a family with 5 large bedrooms and ample bathrooms all laid out in a comfortable configuration.

Loulé is a beautiful town, has everything and more and less of the hustle and bustle of other towns. So if your looking for a quiet location with a fabulous pool, views and beautiful villa with aircon this is the place to stay.

comfortable. well equipped house placed in a calm neighborhood with a wonderful view from the hill towards oceanside

This was a perfect last minute find. Our original hotel fell through and we found this location at the last minute. A great 2 bedroom 2.5 bath villa with full hotel support. Near the beach and golf

Fabulous villa located 5 min drive to one of the best beaches on The Algarve. Everything was there all we had to do was buy the food. Definitely will return.

Endroit très agréable conforme à la description sur le site. Difficile à trouver mais quartier très calme et paradisiaque. Fuite d'eau à répétition dans les salles de bain et toilette durant nos trois derniers jours, intervention de réparation à chaque fois.

Fantastic location and so good that we could use hotel facilities. The villa was clean very large and at a reasonable price.

Was met at the property by a rep. Very easy. Beds are large and excellent. Location is 5 min drive from Vale do Lobo but far enough outside the resort to be away from the rest of the world. Good wifi. Excellent pool and poolside furniture. Excellent communication on whatsapp with the host company. Any issues were dealt with in moments via whatsapp.

The property was spotless and the pool area was lovely. Would definitely recommend!

The space of the property, number of bathrooms was good, kitchen was well equipped, BBQ was nice to have, the pool table kept us entertained and the pool with sun loungers were great. Overall we all enjoyed our stay at Villa Jade.

Lovely Villa, equipped with everything you need. Large pool with comfortable loungers and covered terrace with dinning table. Quiet location, 5 min walk to the Old Village area with restaurants, bars and a small supermarket. 20/25 min walk to Marina.

Perfect for family with kids, pool and bbq place were the favorite choice for my family. Staffs were helpful in giving assistance whenever we were in contact with them.

It was large and spacious with a great pool

The whole service from booking, arriving to departing has been excellent. I would certainly stay here again. Thanks Villa Jade.

Lovely villa, nice pool & gardens. The beds were very comfortable. The area was very quiet. Lovely restaurant around the corner. The Marina was only a 35 minute walk with plenty of restaurants. Golf course 5 mins away from villa.

The Homing Team were excellent to deal with very professional, the location was fantastic really private and safe. The outside area is absolutely stunning. The Villa is dated but I really liked the layout and I prefer dated, but it may not suit everyone’s taste.

A confort property in a very nice location

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of booking. We stayed here for three nights and four days but both wished it could have been longer. All staff members are helpful, happy and polite, especially the breakfast staff. Upon check in, the young girl on the desk was very helpful, showed us to our room and explained the dynamics of the hotel. Our room was beautiful, really spacious and comfortable. Great bathroom and comfortable bed. The roof top pool was great, especially in the heatwave Faro is currently having. The pool is cold but very welcome in the heat. Not too many sun beds but we always managed to find one. If they are all taken there are plenty of seats around to use. Towels are provided for at the pool. The pool area is table service which was great. Food at this hotel is delicious. We stayed bed and breakfast but also had lunch a couple of times. Really really good nachos. All the food looked really good, I don’t think any of it would disappoint. The hotel is in a great location, everything is within walking distance. Some lovely little shops and bars/restaurants. I would say the hotel is mostly aimed at adults but some children were staying here too. Definitely book this hotel, it’s beautiful. We loved our stay, thank you 3HB.

Just returned home from a fabulous 5 night break at 3hb Faro. It was so good we booked an extra night. Beautiful Hotel. The rooms are impeccable. We stayed in a suite on the second floor and the housekeeping staff are to be commended - always friendly when we passed on the corridor and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were beautifully made up each day to the highest standard. The pool area is lovely but don’t expect a sunbed unless you’re there very early but the surrounding seats are comfortable enough. The pool isn’t heated which is fine at this time of year but it would annoy me if it was May/June/September. The food at the pool bar is excellent. The quality of food at the breakfast buffet is outstandingly fresh and eggs etc can be ordered from a fairly limited hot food menu. There are sausages and bacon in a separate part of the buffet which would be my only criticism. I think all hot food in a 5 star hotel should be cooked from scratch at the point of order. I also had a massage which was booked through the spa and it was excellent. It’s a quiet atmosphere in the hotel over all - suitable for families with young children and adults. I would imagine a family with older children might find that that the children could be bored if staying for more than a couple of nights. Thanks to all the staff for looking after us so well.

I stayed at 3HB Hotel Faro, a 5-star hotel in Faro, and it was a nice experience. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Ricardo, in particular, was very kind and helped us plan our activities, which was much appreciated. The hotel has all the amenities you might need, including a spa, gym, indoor heated pool, outdoor pool, and a pool bar. The food was tasty and enjoyable. The rooms are spacious and nicely designed, and the hotel itself is modern, which adds to the overall comfort. Its central location right in the middle of the shops and pedestrian area makes it a great spot for exploring Faro. One thing to keep in mind is that cars aren’t allowed between 10 AM and 8 PM. If you arrive during those hours, your car will need to drop you off about three minutes away from the hotel, and you’ll have to walk with your luggage. If that’s a concern, then walk to the hotel and seek help. Overall, it’s a comfortable and convenient place to stay if you’re visiting Faro.

Amazing hotel Staff: so nice,friendly, attentive and very helpful Rooms: we had a double room and a twin room. Both rooms very spacious. AC is the rooms which was very much needed,. Rooms were cleaned twice a day. The mini bar has free water, still and sparkling and 2 big cans of Coca Cola, teas and espresso. Machine I the room. All topped up twice a day. Shower was a walk in one. Very nice. We had breakfast included, food was amazing. They have a menu for different egg dishes and crepes. Also fruits, cold meats, cheeses, cereal , breads , pastries , bacon, cooked spinach and mushrooms all available. Very friendly and attentive staff at breakfast. We had dinner one night, very nice pizzas. Hotel pool is an infinity roof top pool which great views of the town. You need to go early to get a lounger but there are lots of reclining chairs. The indoor pool and spa was very nice and relaxing. The hotel is right in the centre of twon.

We stayed here for 3 nights for a recent trip to Faro and we thought the 3HB was a fantastic hotel. The decor felt truly 5* and the room and bathroom were huge! The check in desk were super helpful and always available if you needed them. The only room for improvement would be the service on the rooftop terrace around the pool which didn’t really match up to the rest of the hotel: They had QR codes where you could scan for the menu but it was a shame that you couldn’t order this way. We spent two days around the pool and no one came around to ask if we wanted any drinks, so we had to always go up to the bar to ask. It also said the bar hatch opened at 10:30 when it didn’t open actually until 11 on both days. They add a discretionary service charge to each order but it didnt really feel like the service was good enough for this. If the hotel could provide better drinks service in this area then it would feel more like a 5* experience.

This was our first visit to the Conrad as recommended by friends. We spent 5 nights in Deluxe Twin Pool View (room 318) and the room itself was spacious with a lovely bathroom area. Loved the pillow menu too! Balcony was huge with a couch and two chairs. The sun shines on balcony from the afternoon to sunset. Housekeeping was good in general but simple little things let it down. Inconsistent with fresh glasses and water replenishment. But apart from that housekeeping was good. We spent one evening in the room (door was on DND) and received an email from reception asking if we would like turndown service which was very good service. Both pools are very nice. All beds were reserved early at the top pool (adults only). Beds at bottom pool (family pool) were always available. We were provided a complementary small carton of water at the pool each morning. A 2L bottle thereafter will set you back €7+service a bottle. Water was available in main lobby but always got taken away later in the afternoon…. Not sure why this wasn’t available 24/7? Breakfast was good. Nice seating areas indoor & outdoor. A good spread that you would expect for breakfast with plenty fruit and fruit juice available too. There are bars & restaurants opposite the hotel in a little shopping area. I recommend booking dinners in advance as they were always very busy around 8-9pm. Tony’s & Cheeky Pup worth a visit. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would return again :)

Writing this review after staying in February / off season. Traveled with family, including 14 year old son. Given the time of year, and potential for suboptimal weather, finding a hotel with an indoor pool that was family friendly was important. While the Conrad Hilton does include an indoor pool, it is treated as an after thought. At times there were not enough loungers for the number of families at the pool, the area was dark and dingy, and the 'hot' tub was not hot at all. We tend to hike during the day, and look forward to relaxing by a pool in the late afternoon. This was not it. We had 2 days of sun, and the hotel did not prepare the outdoor pool area. A full day after the rain, the pool loungers were still puddled with water. On the positive side, the Hilton team members we interacted with were amazing. Everyone was kind, accommodating, knowledgeable, and helpful. Breakfast options were plentiful and fresh. The rooms are large, modern, were a comfortable size for 3 of us, and cleaned/tidied twice daily. Our car was often waiting for us at the front before we even called for it. Overall enjoyed our stay, but would have really hit the mark had the facilities been better for families. May be a different experience during high season.

This is our 8th stay here. We always book a King Grand Deluxe Room Pool View ( the best except for a suite) and are normally allocated a room on either side of the atrium eg. 501 /402. This time we were given 422. It was lovely but smaller, with a pool view blocked by a huge tree. We did question the allocation but they confirmed it was correct ( I would in the future request one of the rooms with a direct view of the pool near the lift, as I felt a little cheated). That aside, the room is spotlessly clean, housekeeping twice a day, huge comfy bed. Breakfast is lovely, plenty of variety. A fantastic warm welcome from Goncalo, the Concierge, who remembered us from last time, takes a natural interest in what you are up to, a real asset to the hotel. Ricardo at the pool was so attentive, always a friendly smile ( though the hotel has a huge problem with Brits bagging sunbeds at 7.30 am, then not turning up till 4 pm). Most are covered in towels by 9 am. It did lead to a few confrontations which wasn't ideal. (They need to sort this out). The Spa is great, Sonia gives a fantastic massage and tailors it to what you want. They have done up the bar.... and wow what a transformation....loved it. With a fantastic outside seating area now. A great new addition.

Absolutely amazing hotel! So gorgeous and the staff were so friendly and accommodating, absolutely nothing was too much for them. Can’t wait to return! The only negative thing I’d say is that I wish there was a separate pool for kids as there were quite a few that were jumping in the pool and splashing people or screaming which I understand is just what kids do but sometimes you want the option of a pool to just relax at that’s adults only. It’s such a big resort so definitely space for a kiddy pool! Other than that the hotel was so clean and beautiful and honestly was the definition of paradise

Room was stunning. Pools were lovely but cold! the best pool was the spa indoor and infinity pool, these were much warmer. We absolutely loved the hydro pool and the whole spa in general was amazing, I had the best pregnancy massage I’ve ever had, it is on the pricey side though. Breakfast was delicious! The staff are incredible here, so attentive and friendly, super helpful and seem to remember everyone’s names which for a hotel of that size is very impressive. Overall we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be retuning.

Had a fabulous couple of nights here, despite a 90 minute check-in and issues being given the wrong room with a family already in it - but was corrected swiftly by very polite & friendly staff. Had dinner 1st night in the Topos restaurant on the outside terrace, which was lovely with a fantastic whole sea bream to share & some wonderful deserts. Had dinner on 2nd night in the Japanese steakhouse ‘Blend Nikkei’ where we shared the magnificent Porterhouae steak. Both nights we were looked after by the amazing Martina, who has only been there 3 weeks but was very knowledgable and super helpful & friendly. 3 lovely swimming pools & an adult only area with a small plunge pool, if required. Would recommend a stay

Our break was a last minute decision based on the weather and we weren’t disappointed. The hotel is set in beautiful expansive grounds around a lake which attracts lots of birds and wildlife. The pools are well kept with plenty of comfortable loungers without feeling over crowded. These are served by a very good pool bar with QR codes for pool side delivery service. The burger we had was one of the best we’ve had for a long time and the staff were very friendly. There is also in door pool and spa facilities if the weather wasn’t so kind which again were very nice. Our room was the reason I haven’t given 5 stars for this hotel. It seemed a little dark and had we being staying for longer I would have asked to be moved as it had a damp smell which affected my breathing on a night. It did have a nice bathroom and very comfy bed which was huge. This hotel is approximately 10 minutes walk from the marina which was handy but if you don’t feel like a walk the hotel bar was well stocked and on site restaurants had a very good selection of food, the sushi was very good. Breakfast is Buffett style and excellent. Something for everyone with allergies acknowledged and catered for. The main plus point was definitely the staff. All were extremely friendly, attentive and went the extra mile to ensure our stay was enjoyable. This included at breakfast, round the pool, in the bar and the customer relations team who made my husband’s birthday extra special.

Another amazing family holidays at hotel Lake. I stayed in an apartment. Everything works just perfectly at this hotel: - everything is always very clean - one pool area for families with 3 different pools + 1 pool in another part, more quiet, for adults only - food is impeccable at both the buffet and the pool restaurant - room service is quick - the kids club is amazing. It serves both babies and more grown up kids, which is very convenient - hotel gym is very decent - spa and massages are great - walking distance to the beach - walking distance to the marina where you can go for dinning or for some ice cream afterwards. Huge shot out to the management team and all the staff. Another incredible staying thanks to you guys. See you next year, i hope.

My family and I visited Domes Lake at the end of August 24, looking for a relaxing break before the school year started again. The hotel was lovely - a manageable size, very pretty and well laid out. We had a great time in general, with my 3 boys making the most of the pools, the pool table, ping pong, fantastic buffet breakfast, and the Haute Living Lounge (where they could snack all day). Two of my boys are cursed with allergies (one for all nuts, the other with coeliac disease), which always make eating out slightly tricky - especially with buffets. However, Domes Lake take allergies very seriously and were very well prepared. We did have a couple of mishaps with slightly confusing labelling and a couple of meal prep mistakes - but the hotel were quick to address these issues and they were universally kind and considerate. Also - the experiences that the hotel lays on (which I totally made the most of!) were brilliant - the cocktail making (i.e. drinking) and wine tasting were great. Not much negative stuff to report - maybe that the beach is a reasonable walk away (15ish mins?) and when you get there it's pretty packed. But the sandy pool in the hotel makes up for it. Also worth sharing a funny story: we saw one of our fellow guests walk into the Haute Living Lounge every night and just walk back out again with 2-3 bottles of spirits. But all in all - I couldn't recommend it highly enough. A great stay - and this review is to say thanks to the fantastic staff. 🙌

We cannot praise this beautiful hotel enough, spotlessly clean, with every amenity possible, our room was extremely comfortable with excellent housekeeping service, little touches in the room and bathroom with products and a full stocked mini bar fridge all nicely done Spa area is calming and luxurious and we enjoyed our massages Excellent food, so much choice for breakfast and with the half board evening meal, and the quality of the food was top notch The other restaurants on sight are really good we used Acosta down on the beach it has stunning views and lovely seafood, the Estrella restaurant and bar for lunch is perfect as is the Sangria there ! You can also easily order food and drinks sitting around the pool and its quickly brought to you, the sand pool and the two other pools gave plenty of choice with clean towels available and really comfy sunbeds The staff are the friendliest nicest people who cannot look after you enough, and they are so helpful It was our anniversary while we were there and thanks to Daniela Soares I had a lovely surprise of chilled sparkling wine and hand dipped strawberries plus gorgeous chocolates all in a chocolate box The location is perfect just a short walk to Vilamoura marina and to Praia de Falesia beach We plan to return here again and hopefully in the not too distant future !

Hotel location is at quiet area near a very small park and it is in walking distance to city center. There are plenty of free parking slots around the small park. Our room has large windows facing the small park, very pleased. Room has computer desk, round table, bed table, a single sofa and a big bed. Lots of space to move around and store stuff. Bathroom is big too. There is an air heater in the bathroom so it can be warmed very quickly before shower. The light system for the bathroom is stupid though, need to follow certain sequence to turn on and off the lights using the 4 switches on the wall. Took us quite a while to figure it out. There is a nice roof with terrace and an indoor swimming pool. Although we Didnot use the pool but the room for the swimming pool felt very warm in winter. We did enjoy the sunshine and the view on the terrace. The breakfast room on the ground floor is very nice in a sunroom with greens. Breakfast is great, many options. There are also nice sitting area on the ground floor next to the breakfast room.

Very nice hotel, the location is amazing to explore the town as everything is pretty much always 15 minutes or less walking distance. I had planned my stay to be in Loule for the Saturday morning market and it was really fun. There’s multiple restaurants very close by, the morning buffet was very generous with multiple options, the dining room is gorgeous, the pool was truly appreciated when the weather got very hot in the afternoon it was a welcome relief to just be able to use the pool and terrace. The bed was comfortable, the room wasn’t huge, but for a solo traveler it’s more than enough, the shower water pressure was great and the water stayed warm even for a long shower. The room was clean, spotless and the towel and linens smelled fresh.

Loved the pool area. And it was great that the pool was heated and covered during the cooler months

We only stayed a night because we have family in the area but we were absolutely delighted with how great the hotel is! We didn't have time to check out the pool but the bed was enormous and the shower pressure excellent. The best thing though was the breakfast - we're vegan and the range of options was completely unexpected and absolutely wonderful. As well as a great range of fruit, there was vegan yoghurt, alternative milk, lots of nuts and dried fruit and, best of all, actual vegan croissants. We were so excited! The options were better than some very fancy 5 star hotels we've stayed in. The location is great if you're looking for an alternative Portugal holiday. You can still get to the beaches easily enough with a car, but you can easily walk around Loule, which is a lovely and very Portuguese (not overly touristy) town, and drive up to the mountains from here.

The experience was great, all the way from checking in to checking out, the breakfast had a great selection of bread, pastries, fruits, coffee, juices, etc. it was a great way to start the morning. The room was cleaned daily and fresh sheets and towels were provided which was nice to come back to after a long day out. The rooftop pool is a great way to relax, although didn't use it much. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Parking is just outside of the hotel on a public road, however, finding a space was not an issue. Overall, highly recommend staying here.

This was a last minute 5 day holiday for my girlfriend and I. Following reviews that we saw online we decided to book at the Laguna Resort for our first holiday together and to Portugal. What a beautiful resort we arrived too, arriving very early for check in, we were surprised to be informed that our room was ready for us and that we would be able to check in. The staff were extremely helpful by providing information on the area and giving advice on how to get to places. We walked into our apartment (room 003), to see a beautifully presented space that was inviting. The facilities were amazing and the views we got, even from ground floor was stunning. The pool area was nice and relaxing and allowed space for both families and couples. The new bar/cafe was not open as yet but they had opened up one of the villas next to the pool as a temporary bar which was greatly appreciated, who doesn’t want a beer/cocktail by the pool! Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we are looking to return to this stunning resort!

We really appreciated the excellent service from staff and our apartment was lovely. It is just over a mile from the amazing Falesia beach and slightly further to the Marina which you can walk to comfortably in half an hour or get a short taxi ride for about 6 Euros. The hotel itself does have a pool which was basic but clean and also has a pool bar. Best of all was the fact that discovering in the airport departure lounge that I had left some cards in one of the bedrooms the reception staff retrieved them and agreed to post them back to me - outstanding service and greatly appreciated.

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Laguna Resort for 7 nights. We stayed a lovely ground floor apartment which was very clean. The room was recently renovated and the interior is well maintained. The hotel itself is located approx 20 mins walk away from the Vilamoura marina but the walk had footpaths the whole way. The pool area in the hotel is nice, plenty of sunbeds. The pool bar has also been recently renovated and it is very large with plentiful seating. All in all, we would recommend staying in this apartment again.

Nice place to relax with balcony overlooking the pool although pool too cold in feb. Slightly far out of Vilamoura if you don’t drive. We hired bikes so only took about 10 minutes to get into town. Fully equipped kitchen but plenty of restaurants in town.

We stayed in a three bedroom townhouse. Bedrooms were all large, modern and clean. Ground floor consisted of a twin bedroom, ensuit, another toilet, a large lounge diner and a well equipped kitchen leading out onto a decent sized garden with a Portuguese BBQ. First floor was a twin and a double room, both ensuit. Then there was stairs up to a roof terrace, and hot tub although door out to these was locked as hot tub out of order. Disappointing, but it wasn’t listed on our amenities. All in all a great place to stay. A cab ride from the Marina though, or get a car. Pool is unheated, so fresh in the autumn! I would guess it gets busy in the summer as lots of hotel rooms here as well. Pool bar really helps with good quality drinks and reasonably priced bar food. Hotel grounds are emaculate. We shall return!

Food and drinks also served to sunbeds.we stayed in a spacious.lovely two-bedroom apartment with sofabed in living room. The sun terrace was furnished and spacious with a view of the pool.The kitchen had two-ring stove top, microwave and large fridge freezer,kettle,dishes and pots and pans. Vitor and lukas were so helpful with any requests . Also provided pool towels upon request. Complex is only 20 minutes walk to Villamora marina or Querteira beach. Supermarket only 5 mins walk.Ubers only €17 to faro airport.

Great apartment with beautiful facilities. Pool area very pretty with big pool - sunset at the pool was wonderful. Lovely seating areas and pretty flowers around the walkways to each apartment. Comfy spacious bedrooms and nice kitchen dining lounge area. Kitchen had everything needed. The pool was cold but it was beginning to April but even though cold was a lovely refreshing swim. Don’t be put off get in and enjoy. Staff very friendly and arranged lovely welcome gift as birthday treat. Great location not far to walk to seafront and Ubers always speedy to arrive and €3-€4 euro to front or marina if you don’t want to walk.

pool area was exceptional , well maintained & plenty of sun beds & parasols, water was lovely & clean & soft , great sized pool & bar area , couldn't fault it enjoyed the stay , big screen tv at pool was great . pool area really comes to life at night with lighting , well done ,

We had a great holiday. It's a 30 minute walk to the marina but the weather was so warm we used Uber which was superb in Vilamoura. We paid between €2.84 and €4.18 for a trip to the Marina or beach and they turned up within minutes. The pool area is really lovely with a great seating area at the pool bar. The pool is pristine with plenty of sunbeds but that was the end of April. There was a sax player one afternoon playing at the poolside and it was great, such a great atmosphere. Food is very reasonable and the beer is €3.50 a pint and just €1.50 for half. Happy days. Our room was big and clean but a laminate floor was a mistake. It was peeling up in parts. The best part of the apartmentos honorio is undoubtedly the staff. Exceptional. We will definitely be back.

We can highly recommend Honorio apartments! The complex has everything you need for the perfect getaway! We stayed for 4 days and wished we had booked for longer. The pool area was modern, clean and had many sunbeds. The staff were excellent and very attentive. The complex also offered a pool lounge restaurant which provided lunch and dinner if required and a was very reasonably priced. There is also a great offering of drinks around the pool. Our apartment was spacious very clean and modern. It was well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay! A bonus for us was an outdoor bbq so that we could make the most of a summer evening meal on the terrace. Overall Honorio apartments was great value for money and we shall return again if we head back to Portugal in the future!

Based on just one night stay. Family of 4, 2 pre - teen kids. It is a beautiful and luxurious hotel, the two bedroom suite is amazing , even a litte private garden. BUT, to me the POOL is just way to small, they must have added rooms after they built the pool. A LOT of kids, behaving like normal kids; but if I traveled without kids I would have been really bothered by noise and splashing in the pool. The area around the pool also seems very small for such hotell. Super comfortable high quality sunbeds though. SO, if you have kids and don't mind being around a lot og kids in the pool, you will be fine. Very cute miniclub that my daughter really liked, Carolina working there seemed so sweet and caring, and they had fun activities.

Beautiful property, excellent staff, excellent breakfast. Spacious room with separate living area, and ample & well equipped kitchen sliding doors to lounge chairs and outdoor patio overlooking the garden.Nice pool! And 3 restaurants located on property, large resort pool ( Note— the pool had a mix of solo , couples and families— so not an adult only pool)

We had a lovely long weekend at the Wyndham grand. Rooms were very spacious with seating and kitchen areas. Would have thought ideal for those with young children. Nice balcony too. Whole place was spotlessly clean. All staff were extremely friendly and efficient from emma who did a great yoga class, to the pool bar and bar waiters , all staff at the breakfast buffet housekeeping and reception. Breakfast had a great selection - everything you could think of really, nice and calm and all well stocked no matter what time you went. We didn’t eat at the main restaurant so can’t comment on that. Snack meals at pool bar were nice and plenty. Enjoyed a few nice cocktails from their vast cocktail list. Massage at spa was excellent, and teenagers and I enjoyed the gym. Beware pool is cold but we loved it! Only tiny improvement other hotels offer a shuttle service to nearby golf courses which would have been great. You can walk 10 mins to couple of restaurants nearby and small spar shop. We used Uber and was cheap and quick to come to go to different beach restaurants. We did the 30ish min walk to beach and that was lovely including a swim in the se

It’s secluded with not much to do unless you’re a golfer. We went to the driving range less than a 10 minute walk. That was a nice diversion. We also took Uber to Vilamoura and Loulé for day trips. It’s a good 25 minute walk to the beach so be prepared. There are great walking trails into the Ria Formosa on the way to the beach. Highly recommended but note there are no amenities or bathrooms. The property and staff are top notch. Room on the sunset side was luxurious. Pool area clean and comfortable. Happy hour much appreciated at the comfortable bar. Make sure to visit the indoor pool and jacuzzi and the “hot chairs “ around the pool. Quite relaxing! All in all a great stay for a week in February.

What an amazing week we had at the incredible Wyndham Grand Algarve. The staff were so friendly and went out their way to make you feel special! The rooms were very spacious and I loved that we stayed on the ground floor which meant my girls could play out on the grass at the back. The rooms were very clean. The pool was a brilliant size and it was great having a small toddlers pool. The water was cold but after a few minutes it was fine! The only restaurant in walking distance was KOKO which was just under a 10 minute walk - very nice food and excellent service. You had to get an Uber to anywhere else, however they turned up in minutes and were very cheap and most restaurants were 5/10 minutes drive away. The best thing about the hotel were all the families that were there. Everyone was so friendly and wanting to have a chat which was brilliant. Lots of young families and great having the kids all play together. My older daughters are 7 and 3 and made friends for life and had the best time ever! My advice, especially if you have a young family - book now!!!! :)

Our experience at the Crowne Plaza, Vilamoura, was generally positive. The staff demonstrated friendliness and helpfulness, and the hotel offers comprehensive facilities. However, there are notable areas for improvement: Despite its 5-star rating, the hotel’s cleanliness fell short of expectations. Notably, the outdoor pool requires attention (there was even a deceased fish at the bottom). Frequent calls to reception were necessary due to housekeeping oversights. Insufficient towels, face towels, and water bottles were recurring issues, although room cleaning remained satisfactory. The restaurant’s dinner service left room for improvement. Fortunately, the abundance of dining options in the area mitigated this concern. The kids’ pool was uncomfortably cold during cooler days, prompting us to use the larger pool instead. On a positive note, the hotel’s location is exceptional, mere steps from the beach and a convenient 15-minute walk to the Marina. The breakfast selection is commendable, and the Spa, while pleasant, could benefit from additional attention, similar to the outdoor pool.

We loved this place! The Front desk Concierges Daniela and Miguel were so very helpful. MIGUEL booked our Faro airport transportation and DANIELA seamlessly connected our one night Booking.com reservation to the additional 3 nights we booked directly with the hotel so we could stay in the same room. The location is exceptional on a beautiful wide beach. The hotel and grounds are immaculate as are the indoor facilities. There was a piano player, singer and other music in the main areas of the hotel each night. They have great bikes to rent from the very pleasant belllman who gave us tips on biking the area. The breakfast/brunch is extensive and was delicious. The resort has 2 beautiful outdoor adult pools and a fun kids pool and kids club, plus an indoor pool with sauna and steam room. Since the weather was sunny and gorgeous on our trip we didn't use the indoor facility but it looked very clean , nice and well kept. Walk down the beach to the fun village of Vilamoura with many harbor front restaurants and shops. We will look forward to returning to this exceptional resort!

Had a great holiday at the Crowne Plaza in Vilamoura. Hotel spaces and rooms are immaculate but slightly dated. Hotel staff very friendly. Breakfast excellent. Couple of observations. I felt the Bar prices were quite expensive, we had cocktails which were good and around 12 euros but a shot of rum cost around 18 euros. Lunchtime toasties and club sandwiches were good and fairly reasonable around 18 euros but was enough for two. Kids club was great. The pool was immaculate, pool towels available also with a 25 euro deposit. The air conditioning in our room was not very good compared to our other family members rooms. Hotel is 15 minutes from the marina. Beach is 1 minute away. Highlights, nice clean room every day. Beautiful pool, good breakfast and kids club.

This is our second stay at this wonderful hotel. Situated 10 minutes from the marina by the beach. All the staff are professional, friendly and happy to help. A special mention to the pool guys especially Paulo, Luan and Elvis who were always happy to help with a smile. Kazi who works at the pool bar is also a credit to the hotel. The pool is perfect. At breakfast you have everything you could possibly want. Fantastic choice and good quality food. The rooms are lovely, cleaned everyday and the beds are so comfy. For a big hotel that was busy whilst we visited for 10 days the rooms are quiet and relaxing. Beautiful spot and I would recommend to all. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had a great holiday, staff were friendly, rooms are nice & big, lovely pool area & the breakfast is great with so much choice. It's a great location right on the beach & marina & easy to get out & about to places like Faro, Albufeira, Loule etc as Uber taxis are so cheap. Its a shame the hotel feel the need to charge €14 every time you want to use the indoor pool which we've never experienced before in addition to charges to play pool & table tennis. Nice stay shame about the extras!

Very good location on beachfront & boardwalk. Tasteful refurbishment of hotel rooms, lounge & restaurant enhances beachy vacation ambiance. Private pool. Central location with many local bars, mini markets & restaurants nearby all within easy walking distance. Fabulous breakfast and dinner buffet available to purchase. Snacks also available in lounge and patio bar. Excellent musical entertainment in lounge on Tuesday & Saturday nights. Excellent friendly and helpful staff with a special acknowledgement for Nelio and his extra care in looking after us in the lounge & patio areas.

Gorgeous hotel, booked a superior sea view room with balcony and stunning views. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Pool is the perfect temperature, it is small but ideal for a few laps. Pool beds are limited but managed to get one everyday, lunch menu is perfect, salads, sandwiches, burgers, ideal selection served by the pool or on the terrace overlooking the prom and beach. Staff were fabulous, efficient, friendly and super helpful. Towels are available to hire for €2 per day. The beach is gorgeous & directly across from the hotel. There is only one negative and that is the price of sunbeds on the beach, please reconsider the pricing. Otherwise a superb hotel and highly recommended.

We stayed here for a week in October 2025, bed and breakfast. On arrival at the hotel it looks a bit down at heel (the reception area is at the back of the hotel) but once inside, it is a beautiful hotel. Our room was at the front with a balcony looking out to the sea (we paid for an upgrade, and glad we did). The balcony wasn't large, but big enough for a table, two chairs and clothes drier. The room itself as clean and the bed was comfortable. The room was cleaned well every day. The room had air conditioning. The hotel is spacious, with plenty of space to sit in the lounge inside and outside. The pool was lovely, and overlooked the private beach. Great for adults, but no slides or shallow area for younger children. There were enough sunbeds around the pool in October, in the summer months there may not be enough. You can rent 2 sunbeds and parasol on the beach for 13 euros a day - or you can just take your towels down and sit on the beach for free. They had live music 2–3 times a week in the lounge. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice - hot food, pastries, fruit, meat, cheese, cakes, bread, juices, coffee etc. Snacks are available during the day, and an evening meal in the restaurant in the evening can be paid for separately, or part of a package. We ate out every night, so I can't comment on the evening meal. Staff are helpful and friendly. I can't fault this hotel: and if you plan to stay in Quarteira, this is the best place to stay.

The hotel had the feeling of a family run hotel and was clean with friendly staff with nothing too much trouble. The beach was a 30 second walk away and had lots of space with sunbeds (to pay for) but also room to just lay on the beach. We stayed B&B and the food was a lovely selection which was regularly checked to ensure it was fresh and plentiful. The rooms were adequate for us and the balcony which overlooked the beach was a sun trap and provided amazing views of sunrise and sunset. The pool was basic but always clean and was not salt water so was warm enough with enough room for a leisurely swim. The pool area had comfortable beds and staff were strict on not allowing people to reserve beds and whilst I was there there was sufficient room for everyone. Located close to local amenities with some wonderful restaurants (check off the beaten track for some amazing eateries). That said the food available in the hotel was reasonably priced and was lovely. All the staff were amazingly helpful and always polite and cheerful. Andre went above and beyond and was massively entertaining with a very English sense of humour and is a credit to the company. I couldn't fault anything but being a Yorkshire man the drinks could be a tad cheaper. I feel fully relaxed after my short break and will return. Andre I promise I will get you some swim shorts like mine next year.

Stayed for 4 days in a sea view room with balcony 606 , we upgraded before we came for 25€ per night . Lovely clean hotel fabulous location , attentive caring staff everywhere. Breakfast was really good , lots of choice for both hot & cold offerings. There was a coffee machine in our room so requested and got a kettle tray , was able to ask for some milk from the bar for our morning tea too . Safe was free , didnt get pool towels just brought our own . Went to the beach everyday , 15€ for 2 beds and parasol , there were much larger parasols on offer , think they cost more . Swam in the sea a lot but hubby went into the pool to do some knee exercises . It was busy but didnt have to go early to bag a bed , which was quite polite . There’s some lovely restaurants nearby including Tandoori Flames which was excellent and so cheap ! Also Tico Tico ( out of hotel and turn left ) . Would definitely return !

Excellent location if you wish access to the marina restaurants and bars, also just a short 15 minute walk to Quarteira which is less busy and slightly less expensive though there are still value for money bars and restaurants in Vilamoura if you look beyond the marina facing facilities. The hotel itself is clean and the staff are very pleasant. Our room was spacious - the joining of the two twin beds made a massive double bed. The hotel had everything you could expect from a 4/5 star hotel. The bedroom windows however did rattle a lot in the wind. Our room faced the marina which meant our balcony was in shade most of the day which suited us as a respite from the sun. The pool was ok but not for "serious" swimming. The rush to reserve sun loungers at ridiculous hours in the morning was fun to watch though to be fair most were occupied for most of the day after breakfast. We did see staff removing a couple of towels etc but this was rare. We were happy to take a less stressful approach as there were plenty of loungers to go round though some perhaps not best located for pool access or with a parasol. The breakfast offering was very good and the staff again were very welcoming. We had a few drinks in the hotel and found pricing to be as expected.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel in the heart of Vilamoura Marina, Algarve. The location is perfect, with stunning views of the sea, pool, and marina.The facilities were outstanding, with plenty of excellent restaurant options and a lively beach bar by the pool that added a fun and relaxed vibe. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the breakfast spread was superb, offering something for everyone.The swimming pool was gorgeous, and our room was spacious with a large, incredibly comfortable bed. The breathtaking beach view from our balcony made our stay even more memorable.

The hotel is in a brilliant location for the marina and the beach, it could not be better and is the best placed hotel of all in Vilamoura. It is superbly clean, the room is cleaned every morning and towels are changed twice per day. In fact the whole hotel and grounds are exceptionally clean, top marks to the housekeeping staff for this. The beds are very comfortable, the room modern and well presented, the views are amazing. The breakfasts are plentiful with a lot of choice and the staff are very friendly across the whole hotel. The pool bar staff work very hard and deliver food and drinks direct to your sunbed. The pool area staff from those in the towel hut to those around the pool are friendly and very helpful should you need to locate a bed or need assistance with an umbrella. The security in the hotel was very reassuring, you need your room key to access the doors from the marina and to use the lift to go upstairs. The vehicular entrance is constantly manned by the concierge. The staff are very vigilant to make sure no one accesses the hotel who is not a guest.

Fab location being on the marina & beach. Pool area lovely & spacious, waiter service around the pool & staff there were excellent. An abundance of sunbeds. Enjoyed the food at pool bar, Italian & Purobeach although sunbeds on the beach there are very pricey even as a hotel guest.

The location of this hotel was perfect. When we entered the hotel lobby, it was spacious and vibrant. When we checked in, the receptionist was friendly and efficient. The reception and security staff overall were lovely, and each time you passed, they would say hello/goodbye they made you feel very welcome and safe. The room size was ideal for the 3 of us and the beds comfortable. The housekeeping staff are fantastic. Each time our room was cleaned, it was left impeccable. Beds made and fresh towels left after each visit. We were very impressed . The housekeeping team made the room feel so fresh after being out of a day/evening. The breakfast was brilliant, it had plenty of choice, and a great selection of food. The breakfast staff were lovely, so helpful and cheerful . The pool area outside was excellent. The pool staff were very good and attentive. Access to the beach behind was excellent if you wanted a break away from the hotel. Lovely views of the sea. I would like to add that the Glee boutique cafe in the hotel reception area is a must to visit . The cakes and chocolates are beautiful. Coming out of the hotel and walking down the steps towards the harbour that was lovely to see. The hotel is in a great location for the local bars and restaurants.

The apartment was great in terms of comfort, interior decoration and facilities. The pool was a great size and never packed despite the time of the year. Separate children's pool which could be used for floating as well as toddler pool. Pool restaurant had good choice.

Our family, including our 6-year-old daughter, recently had a delightful five-day stay at Vilar do Golf in Faro, Portugal. The experience exceeded almost all of our expectations, making for a memorable and relaxing holiday. Arrival Experience: Warmly greeted at the reception, we were immediately struck by the convenience of the on-site shop, offering groceries at prices comparable to those in the city. This was a pleasant surprise and added to the ease of our stay. Accommodation: Finding our apartment was straightforward. It impressed us with its spacious, immaculate layout, featuring an American-style living room with an adjoining kitchen on the first floor, and two cozy bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, on the second floor. The inclusion of a bathtub in one bedroom was a thoughtful touch. Weather and Comfort: Visiting in December, we were blessed with sunny days averaging 20°C, while nights dropped to around 9°C. The efficient air conditioning system ensured our apartment remained comfortably warm. Environment: The tranquility of the area was remarkable, contributing to a serene and restful holiday ambiance. The beautifully maintained grounds were a testament to the care and attention given to the resort. Swimming Pools: The pool's temperature of 30°C and the Jacuzzi at 37°C were perfect for relaxation. Although the outdoor pools were open, their cooler temperatures directed us indoors.

Travelled with a 16-month-old and everything was very child friendly and within easy access. We had a 1 bed apartment close to supermarket reception and 3 min walk to pool area. The staff was so nice and friendly especially Carlis at reception and the pool bar team who made my birthday extra special. The playground and pool were our little one's favourites and the views on the golf course were breathtaking. A great escape for families and only 10min away drive from our favourite beach.

I have a 4 year-old child, so I loved the fact that the resort has several pools (the inside one was great when it rained) and also has a playground for the kids to play without the adults ever keeping them out of sight. Plus, the presence of the pool staff was definitely a good thing (especially when some people didn't respect the rules of "a quiet place"). The pool bar was excellent and the staff simply adorable and extremely friendly. Even though we had to climb some stairs to reach the villa, its location was very good. Despite have experienced some minor problems with the villa's equipment, the maintenance staff was very efficient and always extremely quick to repair the stuff. As for cleanliness, I just have one word to describe it: FANTASTIC.

Pool and pool area is lovely, very clean. Resort is very clean and very well maintained. Staff are very friendly and helpful

The apartment was very well appointed with everything a family needs including a washing machine, dryer, great kitchen and plenty of seating areas inside and outside. We stayed in a first floor apartment which had a fantastic roof terrace and BBQ. We had a great holiday, the children made lots of friends. The pool area works well having an indoor pool, children's pool and two standard pools in the same area means it works for everyone. The only things that could be improved are the restaurant service/menus - there didn't appear to be enough staff although when the food arrived it was great and the food choices were limited so getting out and about or having your own bbq is definitely a good idea. The other thing that could be improved is the children's entertainment and club - the staff were friendly but there was not enough going on so most of the kids stayed with their parents by the pool.

We loved the layout of the actual apartment, having a rooftop with a hot tub, and a view of the ocean, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms & a fully stocked kitchen. It was also a short walk to the main area with pools & restaurant. There were 4 pools to choose from, 2 outdoor, 1 kids outdoor, and 1 indoor with a hot tub. The pool staff, especially Augusto, were so welcoming & and lot of fun. The restaurant was lovely, staff friendly, and high quality meals. The boys loved the football field. The most beautiful sandy & clean beach that went on for miles was across the street, with a nice restaurant as well with beach service & restaurant service for lunch & dinner. Everything was perfect, we will be back!

The apartment was super spacious with plenty of storage space. The kitchen was well equipped. The location was within a stone's throw of the beach and you could walk along the beach to other restaurants in ten minutes (Maria's, Izzy's, Praia at Vale Do Lobo). We hired a car which enabled us to visit other places in the area (Quinta do Lago, Vilamoura). Parking was no problem anywhere we went. Highly recommend a ten minute drive to Pizzeria Casavostra for superb pizza. The hotel was very quiet the first week of Sept. The lovely pool staff blew up the children's inflatables, stored them pool-side and brought them out each day which was appreciated. Also - the onsite restaurant is FANTASTIC.

gréât pool for kids, perfect location and very attentive staff. superb cocktails. very close to Maria and Julia’s restaurant on the beach which are both amazing. perfect holiday destination for family! the kids pool are just perfect for kids.

Really great 4 night stay. Place is in great condition. Only down side was too many kids in pool area - adult pool or area would be a great addition. Beach in-front and sunbeds were used daily (although have to pay for sunbeds). Supermarket is 10mins away. Shop in hotel is very limited.

Our Room was perfect, firm mattress and plenty of soft pillows, view of the garden. fully air conditioned, clean, fresh and the turn down service everyday was a nice luxury. The breakfast was good quality and covered all appetites, fresh fruit, pastries, hot cooked breakfast, pancakes, cereals. We ate at the pool side bar and the food was freshly prepared and very tasty. The Staff and Service were fantastic, warm friendly smiles and nothing was too much trouble. Free towels and sun loungers with cushion by the pool just added to the luxury element. The pool water was refreshingly cool, the perfect antidote to warm Sunkissed days pool side. The hotel was not busy, but that was a massive positive. we needed a relaxing chilled break and boy did we get one. Loved the hotel, Love the region, would definitely return.

welcoming reception and the staff were very helpful to everyone. Breakfast offered a wide choice to suit everyone particularly liked the home made bread. The pool area is a great area for adults and children alike, the only criticism I would have is the number of steps from the pool side to the pool bar, foe someone with a disability this was quite a challenge. That said food offered at the pool bar was very good and great value for money. The bedroom was spacious, maintained very well and staff attentive prviding chocolates in the evening as a 'treat'

The staff was extraordinary attentive and kind. A big applause for the girls working at the Pool Bar (Melissa and others) who went beyond expectations to make us feel cared for and welcome. The room was comfortable and always made perfect by the cleaning services. The turn down chocolate was a nice touch. Our favorite part of our stay was the incredible breakfast buffet which seriously earns this hotel its 5th star. It was genuinely amazing value. The pool area does get crowded in the afternoon but there is always space even for latecomers… and it’s positively tranquil in the morning (the best pool hours anyway). The hotel never feels busy which is a nice, relaxing feeling. Although others have complained about outdated decor, the atmosphere is much more important to me while on vacation and we got peaceful atmosphere in spades at Ria Park.

My husband & 1 have stayed 6 times. Location is great near the beach, which the hotel provides transportation if needed. Restaurant’s near if you decide to eat out in the evening. Breakfast was lovely with great choices. We had lunch at the pool bar most days. Pool is large and lots of sunbeds around. Never a issue on getting a sunbed. Staff very friendly. Hotel is very clean. We had a side sea view room. which was lovely looking over the pool & sea. Very comfortable bed.

I like the Ria Park and have stayed several times. Its in a very quiet area close to the beach. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The pool area is very nice and the poolside chairs have been improved since last year. They were getting tired. The food in the restaurant is very good. Breakfast choice was extensive. The quality of the food being served is very high and not too expensive. Its a shame more people choose to go outside. Having said that the service was great. The burger for lunch and fish at dinner were superb. They must have a good chef. The bed was very comfy although the room could do with being a bit larger. The property was in good order overall.

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The entire hotel is clean, well laid out and caters for guests in communal areas with a pool table and books to read. The breakfast was exceptional and was missing nothing. The pool looked inviting, clean and if it was warmer I would have sat by it. No complaints. Book!!

Lovely continental breakfast included. Room was clean and bright. Not sure about the glazed glass door of the bathroom, but bathroom and shower was excellent. The outdoor pool was good, with nice recliners and the pool was a good size and rarely busy. Would definately recommend and we plan to visit again.

For the price it met all my expectations. Minimalist but very clean and comfortable. I am not greedy when I am paying substantially less than other options and the massive pool and pool area was great. Staff were also very friendly and helpful

Good value stay. The room was spacious and very clean although it felt a little basic and dated. The bed was large and comfy. The whole hotel was very clean and we saw several cleaners throughout our stay. The breakfast was ok - it was continental style and there was a decent amount of choice including breads, pastries, fruit, yoghurt etc The pool is large with plenty of sun beds. Shame there’s no balcony or fridge in the room. The location is great. A 10 minute walk to the beach/one end of the promenade. If you turn right you can walk all the way along the promenade through Quarteira and on to Vilamoura. If you turn left you can walk along the beach to Vale do Lobo which was a lovely walk. It’s also really cheap and easy to get Ubers. You can pay to hire pool towels (€2 per towel for 24 hours) and you also have to pay city tax upon arrival. We stayed for 2 nights and the hotel was ideal for us but I’m not sure I would want to stay for a week without a balcony or more amenities. Would recommend for a good value basic stay.

The room was spacious clean and well equipped Could have it refreshed everyday if you wanted The hotel was very clean and friendly staff everywhere..never failed to see anyone Lots spoke english and they were happy we tried Portuguese Continental breakfast was of a high standard and choice..very filling Tables were always cleared quickly and the waiting staff resolved any issues promptly Pool and facilities were great. Chose it for a quiet location but only 10 min walk to promenade. Not touristy at all and a great mix of international guests. Bus stops very close and a supermarket if you needed anything Our first time in the Algarve...wanted a lovely hotel in quiet area but nearby to everything...PERFECT hotel also has a contact for travel from Faro airport..20 mins..our driver Joaquim was prompt..even on 4am pick up..very friendly and had some great choices of restaurants to try in Quateria

Lovely stay in Hotel Praia Sol. Our room was ready at 12pm, well before the 3pm check-in time. Our beds were made and towels replaced everyday even though we were only there for 3 nights. Pool area is fabulous and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Lovely lunch and drinks available to be brought out the pool area also. The hotel also allowed us to spend the day at the pool on the day of checkout and held our luggage for us.

The pools are fabulous. My daughter was never out, and the pool area is lovely and spacious with lots of chairs, and a reasonably priced pool bar. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast is a nice selection of foods. The location is great. Close to amenities but also quietly set.

Staff were very very helpful especially Louisa ….beautiful pool… loved the jacuzzi….. nice pool bar… briefest good…rooms clean we got a pool view which was gorgeous….hotel very close to the beach and fabulous beach bar called aqua club as you come off path towards the beach check it out

Location is great, amazing pool with a very good deep end & smaller pool with jacuzzi bubbles. Very comfortable sun loungers. Can rent towel for the pool. Amazing bartenders that cut up fresh fruit for cocktails. Best hotel we’ve stayed at for air conditioning. TVs have Netflix & Disney plus. Can also rent bikes at reception.

Well run with helpful and smiley staff. Nice pool ( unheated ) could be a bit of a surprise but adjacent jacuzzi pool like a warm bath. Tended grounds with plenty of loungers and pool towels available. Efficient breakfast room with plenty of choices and cooked items on request. Freshly squeezed orange juice (diy) a treat.

The air conditioned pool view room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The king sized bed was particularly roomy and the cotton sheets were pristine and soft. More than adequate hanging and storage space plus a safe for that added security. Room serviced every day with decaffinated options and plenty of toiletries. Never had to wait for the lift. The whole hotel was comfortable with very welcomed air conditioning. Reception was always manned and all staff spoke English, happy to help and provided pool towels daily. Very nice seating area in reception, however eating in this area was not permitted. Restaurant was very well laid out and continually stocked with a wide variety of hot and cold breakfast items. Sun parasols provided on the terrace to dine in comfort. The food was excellent, I had bed and breakfast as standard but still used the restaurant and bar to eat. They restaurant opened at 7pm and I like to eat early, they prefer a reservation in the restaurant even if there is no one else there. Bar served food all day. The pool is small and isn’t deep enough for swimming lengths but despite this it it very welcomed cool down. More than adequate loungers and parasols which are well looked after and the setting is quiet and tranquil. The Hilton hospitality bus is a god send for drop off to beach or marina, be a good 10 minutes early for return journey though as you could get caught out! I had a very comfortable stay at Vilamoura Garden and very likely to return.

A lovely hotel in a quiet spot yet only 20 mins walk into town and the marina. We had a pool view room which was spacious and well equipped. Bathrooms are large with a excellent shower, robes, plump towels and toiletries. The bed was large and very comfortable. Air conditioning was silent and effective. Hotel is kept spotlessly clean. We were on half board and the food was delicious and well presented. Service was first class. The only downside was the lack of choice, 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 desserts each night. However you can use the €25 per person allowance towards the a la carte or at lunchtimes. The pool area is fairly small and the pool itself with little chance of a lengthy swim! However it was heaven to cool off in with temperatures 30 degrees plus most days. The staff in the hotel are excellent. Special mention to Liliana and Ines on reception and Tiago and John Herbert in the restaurant who looked after us superbly at mealtimes. Would definitely revisit.

Lovely alternative for a break especially if wanting to play golf or visit other parts of the Algarve and it's traditional restaurants such as in Quarteira. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped. A broad range of options for breakfast and friendly staff. Small downside was the pool area. Small pool and with a maximum depth of 1.1 meters it cant be described as a pool which was a shame.

We’ve just come back after a wonderful stay at the Vilamoura Garden Hotel. The staff were amazing, especially Ariana in particular, she was wonderful with our little girls at breakfast and made them feel extra special. The room was wonderful and cleaned daily. The only fault I had with the hotel was that the pool was freezing so would have been great to be heated. There are also a lot of trees around the pool so it was quite shaded for a lot of the day. There was also a supply issue of some of the drinks that were listed on the menu but weren’t available, which was a little frustrating. Nevertheless we really enjoyed this hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to return! Thanks to all the staff!

Excellent hotel, fantastic staff and lovely large room with balcony overlooking the pool. We got a room upgrade on arrival, 2 rooms and a nice bathroom and 2 balconies overlooking the pool. Restaurant was nice and the breakfast was excellent.

We arrived after a very early flight and was not surprised that our room was not ready. The check in was very brief, no welcome drink given which we would have expected with a five star hotel and very little information given about the hotel. We changed in the spa area and had a pleasant few hours around the pool. We were told that a text notifying us when our room was ready would be sent but never got one. The room was lovely and housekeeping was fabulous throughout. There is also a nightly turn down and water and the tea tray items are topped up daily. WiFi in the hotel was excellent although could be patchy around the pool area. The breakfast is great and the servers were so friendly. In particular, Barbara who always said hello and greeted everyone by name, a real asset to the hotel. The guys around the pool work so hard, making sure everyone is happy with towels and loungers being prepared and parasols moved. Not easy in the extreme heat! Service from the pool bar was generally good and the drinks and food are delicious. I visited the spa for a massage and the therapist was excellent. There was also a lovely indoor pool and changing room. For golf, if playing the local courses, the hotel has a complimentary shuttle. Reception were very accommodating with times etc. The hotel is situated in a stunning location overlooking the nature reserve and the beach which is about a ten minute walk. We had a super stay and would definitely recommend.

Everything! Staff were excellent and extremely helpful. Food was obviously prepared by a first-class chef. All the swimming facilities could not be better - private beach, large pool, small pool, paddling pool and jacuzzi.

We stay at the hotel at least twice a year for the last 4 years as a group of 8 - 10 people. The hotel it self is very good clean and the grounds are beautiful with lovely walks. The food is good and the bar does have some entertainment on at times. On the downside we have experienced last year and this year the pool attendant Carlos needs to chill out, he had a very negative attitude towards my family last year and this year he was quiet rude to my wife newly married and actually upset her and myself. I decided to let it pass as it was our last day but had a negative impact on our visit. All the other staff are lovely including Steve at breakfast who we did build a good relationship over the years. I appreciate that the pool is for quiet time if a child jumps in they are just having fun so Carols needs to settle himself down as I felt like putting him in the pool on the last day.

I have been extremely impressed by the quality of Quinta do Lago. I stayed there first in April 2024 after prematurely leaving another hotel in the Algarve that I had booked in a rush and that proved to be disappointing. So I booked Quinta do Lago in the morning and showed up there three hours later, expecting that reception staff would not yet be aware of my booking. To my surprise, they were and greeted me with my name as I walked through the door. They were all impeccably dressed and super professional. Guest relations are so helpful and kind as well. The hotel provides a true Grand Hotel feeling, which is very rare these days. The heated outdoor pool is fabulous, I could swim with my eyes open without chlorine biting into my eyes. The pool restaurant as well as the formal restaurant are of outstanding quality. In the morning, breakfast is served on white cotton table cloth in a carpeted area, free of noise and smell, very serene, a delight. Ah and when I left after my first stay, I had spare tokens for the driving range and left them at reception so they could give them to another guest. I had forgotten about them, but when I returned, Fatima, one of the kind receptionists, handed them back to me. So kind and so professional!

We went as a family with an 11year old child. The hotel is 5 star and is definitely worth yhe rating. The standard is high. However the atmosphere is not stiff, the staff are so pleasant and friendly and determined to make our whole family feel comfortable. We were thrilled to be welcomed by a bottle of port and chocolate milkshake in our room with matching dressing robes and one to fit our daughter. Everything was covered. The bed was ready, the towels the correct numbers and turn down treats for everyone each night. The food was exquisite and we went half board worth the cost. The break fast was fresh pastries, cheeses, cereals, hot breakfast with eggs as you like it, fresh juices and sparkling wine! There is an indoor pool, outdoor pool, tennis and more. The spa did a massage for my daughter! The location is beautiful in a National park and the beach is 800 m walk in the park. The beach has loungers and towels for the hotel. We enjoyed our time in these stunning surroundings. We are busy professionals in every day life and this treat was what we needed. Thank you to all the staff, we will come again.

The Pool and facilities were great, loads of options for a large busier pool or a quieter one. The sun-loungers were plentiful too. The breakfast was great and the apartments I booked for a group of 21 were fantastic, the 3 bed had 3 bathrooms - its not clear on most pics but thats the case , the layout for the 3 bed was fantastic. The 2 bed apartment had 2 bathrooms and again very big and modern.We requested balloons and decorations for a celebration at it was incredible in the apartment when we arrived ! Its really integrated with the Hilton, they share pools and it is really the same resort.

Fabulous apartment which was spacious and tastefully decorated and equipped. Facilities were excellent - the restaurants, pools and pool services like towel exchange and cafe services, the gym, the reception services, the shuttle to the marina, daily apartment servicing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall a really positive experience. We would highly recommend and even go back!

Amazing size apartment. We had the 2 bedroom overlooking the pool. Great size, comfortable and in great condition. Cleaned every day with new towels provided. Pool areas fantastic. Shuttle service to beach and Marina, but if you miss it a taxi is only 6 euros. Overall a wonderful weeks holiday. Would definitely return

It all went very well. Having the apartment cleaned every day was a big bonus. An added bonus for us this past week was the internal pool but we did brave the outdoor pool as well as the week went on. All the facilities were very easily acceptable which was a big bonus.

Ideal location Excellent suite accommodation Nice pool area, pool bar staff were great so helpful and friendly Excellent omelet’s at breakfast Great shuttle bus service

Hotel is a bit of a hidden gem. Rooms are comfortable, breakfast was excellent with a wide range of options. Pool area is great... Yes the rail track runs behind the pool area but the trains are infrequent and not disruptive. The hotel is on the outside of vilamoura and an Uber is required to get into town and marina. However we are familiar with Vilamoura so understood the location before booking so this wasn't an issue for us. Uber is not expensive.

I loved the pool! I had a beautiful view from my room overlooking the nearby gardens and mountains. The train does run behind the hotel but this was not an issue for me. The breakfast was good. The hotel is in a good spot but there aren't any immediate shops close by. You can access everything from there though and I used Uber / Bolt. I highly recommend the Saturday market in Loule. As a solo female traveller I felt comfortable at the hotel, spending my time by the beautiful pool. The staff were all very kind.

Easy to find and excellent parking, the hotel itself is very quirky with lots of artifacts of old bikes, gramophone, piano, tills, scales and much more The outside seating and pool area is lovely, clean and very relaxing - the pool is perfect in every way. Fantastic choices at breakfast with lots of seating. Rooms are a touch dated but fit in with the style of hotel, very clean and comfy beds with good air conditioning.

Everything! Cannot recommend it enough! Comfy beds, excellent shower, bar in lobby, fabulous decor throughout with an antique vibe, free parking, pool with cabanas to use and large outdoor veranda. The low price includes a "full" breakfast with eggs, beans fresh fruit, deli tray, awesome coffee/tea and plenty of pastries. To top all this off, the wonderful, always happy and helpful staff. Really should be a four star!

Everything we wanted. Room was fine other than lacking in drawer space. Had a kettle but no tea, coffee, milk etc. Huge balcony with table,chairs and sunbeds. Fabulous pool with enough sunbeds for all and the breakfast for such a small hotel had everything you could wish for.

After reading reviews I was really unsure, but I can honestly say one of the best holidays I’ve had. Hotel is clean and really beautiful, rooms are really spacious and clean and have complementary bathroom basics and shampoo and conditioners. Only thing I would say it’s missing is a balcony :( The breakfast is really good lots to choose from and champagne breakfast every morning if you choose till 10am. No balcony’s on the rooms however the roof top bar and pool make up for this in spades a stunning and relaxing hotel . Pool is small but really nice, and only about 13 loungers however you never need to queue in the mornings , it’s really not busy and I was here peak season . Staff are super friendly also and attentive . The hotel is central to everything it’s a step away from every place you could think of to eat and also has amazing views of the harbour . Hotel also has a free bus to the private beach with parasols which is about 15 minutes away and is a great day out. This is a very relaxed and stress free holiday so peaceful and quiet I would definitely recommend and I will be back my new favourite hotel and destination

This hotel is perfectly located with many shops, restaurants, cafes and tourist attractions within walking distance. The rooftop restaurant offers an exceptional view of the marina. Breakfast buffet included in the room rate was excellent - many varieties of cold and hot items. However, the property did not provide any Expedia Gold member perks, aside from the an arrival gift that was listed on my booking. Furthermore, the room was not ready at 14:35 (check-in time is 14:00) and I was not provided with a room until almost 15:00. And the most frustrating part is the hotel closed the pool for maintenance which was not disclosed in the booking nor communicated prior to arrival, as the rooftop pool was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel in a beach town like Faro. They didn't even disclosed this at check-in, all guests were only advised via a letter inside our room (spoke with other guests who expressed the same experience and frustration). Asked for compensation from the front desk supervisor but was told no such policy despite he shared the fact it was closed for 3 days prior to my arrival - my reservation cancelation policy is within 48 hours! Very disappointed!

It has to be said that the location, friendliness of the reception staff and breakfast in this hotel were great. The views from the 4th floor restaurant are amazing and look out over the Faro Marina. It's a short walk from here to the Train Station. Unfortunately the Rooftop Pool as pictured and selling this hotel was closed during my trip which may have changed my mind if known in advance ! Eco Friendly, I don't normally require my room to be cleaned during a weekend trip so simply telling the cleaners is a good idea and asking for anything needed. The Coffee machines at breakfast have paper wrapped wooden stirrers so only usable once creating waste. If they use metal cutlery then metal spoons would remove this issue. I did report some damp / mould issues in the corner of my bathroom. A lot to do with the rooftop pool but certainly needs attention. Would I choose this hotel again, YES I would based on location, service and the breakfast buffet.

You cannot fault this Hotel, right in the middle of Faro with fantastic views from the rooftop Bar. Such a shame that there is so much graffiti in Portugal wherever we have been it is the same. We upgraded to a room with marina views and were impressed, just a shame they do not have balconies over looking the marina. The pool was closed but it did not spoil out visit. We did the sunset boat ride which was great and very informative if we had stayed longer we would have done more trips. We were half board and the food was great, a big thank you to Leonardo Jesus who looked after us along with Humbert and Alexandra. We will definitely be telling our friends about this Hotel and hope to visit again some day. Paul & Linda Cambridge

This hotel is lovely, comfy beds, clean rooms and ok bathrooms. Staff really helpful and an excellent breakfast. The location is excellent and the view from the top is the best. We only stayed 2 nights and it is perfect for a mini break. Pool small but ok for a cooling dip, although it was not warm during our visit so it was empty. Spa a bit disappointing. Steam room was not working and sauna not that hot. Room air con was good and a small fridge in the room is good for keeping drinks cool. No tea or coffee in room. The street can get noisy but that’s not the hotels fault and the windows are very good at keeping the noisy to a minimum.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the AP Eva Sense. The good: fantastic location overlooking the marina and with the old town on the door step, the rooms are clean and comfortable with plenty of storage for clothes, the bathrooms are clean and modern with nice walk in showers, maid service daily was great, the breakfast is of nice quality and excellent choice, the roof top cocktail bar is lovely and worth a visit for a glass of wine overlooking the marina, the staff were polite and helpful Could be better: the pool area furniture is tired and needs replacing, the pool also needs at least a really good clean, the pool toilets are really poor and need a refit

Loved this hotel ..staff were excellent very friendly and helpful.The location was amazing right in the Marina book a marina view room if possible, the room size was perfect with a large balcony with table and chairs.Bed was comfortable with good pillows and good bed linen very good shower.The breakfast was amazing a huge choice something for everyone and more a lovely touch was a fresh flower presented to the women at breakfast.The pool area was very good only quibble here was the ladders into pool were a bit old and wobbly otherwise a fantastic hotel and would definitely stay again if ever in Faro.Thank you also for the bottle of wine a lovely gesture and much appreciated.

Second time we’ve stayed here and we feel the hotel has improved, we stayed in a marina view room which was worth the extra cost. Room was excellent, great shower and the maids that did the 3rd floor were excellent and our room was always spotless, breakfast was again excellent as was the indoor pool and spa , although we had read that swimming caps were mandatory and had purchased them but everyone else we saw in the pool didn’t have them, if that’s a rule then the hotel should implement that . That was just a minor gripe and didn’t affect our stay, we’ll certainly return in the future

Staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful in reception. And very pleasant at pool bar and buffet. Pool bar area very chill. Bedroom was perfect and had balcony with view of marina. Breakfast very good. Would definitely stay again.

I really like this Hotel but there’s lots of things that could make it much better. The staff were not very welcoming on arrival ( maybe having an off day). The pool has debris at one end and no one came around all afternoon to pick up litter and empty plates and glasses. Light fixtures fell down in the cupboard with exposed wires. Plug socket hanging off the wall near the pool area. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was very good with a great selection. A bit of care would make a big difference to this Hotel.

We had a terrific stay at this hotel. The pool is nice and heated just enough, and lots of lounge chairs. Lots of sitting area in the hotel as well. Breakfasts were very good with a wide selection, including several custom items available. We were in cottage which was quite big and had a fully equipped kitchen. There are more like small houses than kitchens and would be great for families. The hotel is a little isolated, but everything is in the area. It keeps things quiet, but Ubers and taxis are always very quick and there is a shopping centre very close and lots of close by (not walkable) restaurants. However what really stands out are the staff. From check-in, to breakfast, to poolside to checkout they were all very helpful and friendly. In particular the two Igor's at the front desk always helped me out and answered by continual questions with a smile and good advice. The hotels was very accommodating by accepting our bicycle cases being shipped to them and holding for a month while we cycled to them. The hotel is right on the Eurovelo, but be prepared, Portugal is not flat! Overall a very happy stay in a wonderful part of the country.

Good, basic bed and breakfast hotel, well located for all golf courses and several good restaurants. Standard plus room, ground floor, no terrace to speak of but great air con, very clean, and a good shower. No kettles in the room. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful and good. The pool area has enough sun beds but very little shade, the plastic grass in some parts very hot to walk on. Pool clean and large. The bar area is adequate, the chairs and tables very basic. Service always good. Lunch and dinner menu extremely limited, this really is a bed and breakfast place. I thought it perfect for us as we played golf on most days, went to a beach bar called the Shack on days that were free and ate out every evening. Uber is great for getting about.

Staff were fabulous. Loved using the bikes. Breakfast was delicious and the selection was great. The pool was always clean, not too noisy and the pool food and drinks were great. The location of the hotel is 10/10. I would 100% return to the Magnolia hotel.

Relaxed feel to the whole holiday. Food good. Service at pool side good. Comfortable bed. Booking of transfer easy. Lovely clean pool.

We loved absolutely everything, love the design and styling, great heated pool, lovely breakfast and lunch/ dinner menu. bikes and pool towels available for use. we stayed for a 2 nights with a big group of friends and had a really fabulous time. really well priced for that area and I felt great value for money. we would definitely come back

Recently stayed in Dom Pedro Marina for 5 nights on a Hen Do. Hotel was very comfortable with very friendly and helpful staff. The staff are a credit to the hotel. Rooms were very clean , comfortable and cleaned daily, balcony was on the small side, Mini Bar in room which you had to pay for, safe was free. Only gripe was towards the end of our stay, could smell drains in the bathroom & air con was not good. Very close to beach and Marina. Breakfast had a good selection and plentiful. Lady singing during breakfast was a nice addition. There was a lot of male parties there, think this was due to Golfing, but they weren’t noisy & we’re just loving life. Pool area was nice & peacefully, could do with more sun beds though & some chill out music. Pool towels provided daily, only negative was pool was small bit cold. We had a late flight home, & got showered & changed in the Spa, we were offered a room for an hour free of charge which was a lovely gesture. Overall we had a great stay & loved this hotel we hope to return again for another visit soon.

Overall a great stay at Dom Pedro Marina! We booked a Full Board 2 Bedroom Apartment and got a great deal. The food was excellent with lunch and dinner being a la carte, all of which was great quality with fantastic service. Rooms were clean, the 2 bed apartment also had 2 bathrooms and a large balcony. The only down side was the pool, as our kids were a bit too big for the small pool but not confident enough for the large pool as the minimum depth was 1.4m. Location was great and drinks were reasonably priced in the bar. Would highly recommend!

Lovely hotel very clean good choice at breakfast. Had suite with pool view was lovely very clean. Only two things of minor fault are 1 balconies need some form of lighting 2 pool area needs more shelter from the intense sun. Perimeter ones too far from pool.

had a lovely ten days at the end of August , I have to agree with all the positive reviews. The hotel and the room we stayed in were great and all the staff were so friendly and helpful . We had visited the area before and stayed in a different nearby hotel which was very expensive when we tried to book this time . We both agreed that we preferred the Dom Pedro so much so we have already booked for next May. The pool area was lovely and so peaceful, and the drinks from the pool bar were very reasonable .

Really enjoyed our stay here and would come back again. Nice hotel with decent sized inside and outside pools. Although the hotel was busy, the pools were never crowded and we could always get a sun lounger. We were lucky to get rooms on the 1st floor overlooking the pool with the extra large balconies. Plenty of free parking (suggest use the underground one as our car door got dented when left outside). Friendly staff and decent, cheap meals available poolside during the day. Other than waterpark next door, hotel isn't in walking distance to any beaches etc however they do run a bus service to the Marina at Vilamoura which is pretty with lots of shops and restaurants. We had a rental car which we used a lot. Also nearby is a Praia de Falesia which is a fantastic beach, much larger and nicer than the beach at Albuferia which we visited for a day. Prais de Falesia is much better for kids (sea is calmer) and there is plenty of free parking nearby, however parking is generally overflowing by 10am so get there early. Great having waterpark next door to hotel but minimum height for most rides is 1.2m. For smaller kids there is a very good pool with slides for them (however on our last day we did spot a poo in it!). Opens at 10am but by 11 the queues are ridiculous (30mins min for each slide) which took the shine off it. Also have reptile and birds of prey shows on during the day which was good.

The hotel was great, just what we needed to feed and entertain an 8 yr old and 14 yr old as well as being able to relax. It was modern with all the facilities you would expect but in better condition than you would expect - a big pool, an indoor pool with jacuzzi, pool/air hockey room, clean restaurant for self serve breakfast and all rooms have a balcony. We stayed on a bed & breakfast rate and ordered lunch and dinner round the pool bar a few times. Whilst it's a little cheaper to eat outside the hotel, the menu really catered for fussy children where local restaurants don't so well. Breakfast had a large selection. There's two restaurants within walking distance which are cheaper and nice but not a lot else. We got an uber to Quarteira beach a few times and picked up supplies at a supermarket before getting an uber back. It cost approx €5 each way. Vilamoura was approx €13 and €17 each way in the evening - a must see but can be quite pricey. The airport was €20 each way which was cheaper than the hotel booked transfer (that didn't turn up!) so I'd definitely recommend uber unless you're renting a car. Last but not least, the free entry to Aquashow Park sold this hotel to us initially and definitely didn't disappoint. It is more than your usual water park with a rollercoaster ride, water rides for all ages & some smaller theme park rides. It was fairly quiet when we went (end of May half term) so next to no queues. We went for a few hours each day which was perfect

We stayed as a family of three (2 adults 1 almost 11 year old) for a week (arrived Monday 28 August 2017). Our 2nd floor room was spacious and plenty big enough for a week long stay. The balcony faced the water park, getting the sun first thing and welcome shade in the afternoon. Air conditioning was effective and no charged as an extra fee. We stayed bead and breakfast and although the food was the same each day, we had plenty to eat and the quality was very good. The rooms, dining area and pool were all exceptionally clean (rooms were cleaned daily/fresh towels etc.) There were plenty of sun loungers around the pool and the indoor pool was beautifully warm. Staff ensured the pools were immaculate. Access to the water park was included with our stay and as we had a wristband, we could avoid the long queues entering. The water park has is fantastic and there was plenty for all ages. It was busiest at the weekends but even then, we were able to get loungers and the longest queues were about 30 minutes. Food and drinks on site were typical fast food fayre and priced as you would expect. Many people took their own food and drink along. Lockers are available to rent and easily accessible.

Fabulous stay Pros: - Waterpark is fantastic. - Room cleaning was great and done every day. - Food good quality (especially breakfast). - Staff super friendly. - Children's play areas great (<6 year olds). - Very clean hotel. Cons: - Hotel is fairly small so pool etc small too. - Buffet selection at dinner, whilst tasty was limited, especially for the children. - Whilst this is advertised as a waterpark hotel, it isn't. You have to queue along with the general public a few hundred metres up the road to access the waterpark. - The waterpark queues for the flumes are VERY long. We waited up to 40 minutes for some of them. - Some inconsiderate guests were shouting, screaming and jumping in the pool at almost midnight, the hotel did not stop this. - We had an expensive pair of sunglasses stolen from the side of the pool. Watch your belongings! - Hotel is fairly remote, have to get Ubers to get everywhere, including a supermarket.

Just back from a week at Hotel do Golf - Great hotel, whilst starting to ramp down for a short close it was still great. Room - we had a studio, easy to get to and clean, comfortable and well equipped - Aircon worked well and Safe Deposit box easy to use etc. Room has all accessories needed for SC if you want inc a full size fridge etc Pool area - again clean and comfortable - didn't use the pool but others did and said it was fine, if a little cold. Bar/Restaurant - Bar and Restaurant were ok, service a little slow at times as low staff numbers due to fewer guests etc - we ate dinner and snacks a few times and these were good, they do a 16 Euro set menu on a night which works well and has good options. Shuttle bus works well to get down into the main marina area, we used quite a few times and even if full they do more than one journey etc. Location is about 10 mins outside main areas but you have a good Supermarket, bar and Indian eatery close (see my other reviews as Indian is WoW!) - Deffo stay again

Just returned from a 3 night break at these apartments and absolutely loved it! The complex is so clean and so very chilled. We had a one bedroom apartment and it was so spacious, although not suitable if you have mobility issues. The best bit about this complex is the swimming pool, it was 5 star! Plenty of sunbeds and really quiet and chilled. The pool is cold, but don't let that put you off, once you become accustomed, it is gorgeous. Great little Spar shop a five minute walk away. We used the free shuttle van into the marina. It is a pity the last trip is 5pm. A slightly later one would be beneficial I'm sure. We love walking and it takes just under an hour to the marina. Couldn't fault the breakfast, everything you need. This is a wonderful place to visit, if you want peace and quiet and a place to simply relax.

We love this place and have been coming here for years. Always book an apartment rather than a studio as you get at least one, sometimes two, generous terraces to sit out on. IN November 2024 we had superb weather for 6 out of 7 days. The pool area has been refurbished with more accessibility, and other improvements made. The snack bar was not open so late in the year, but the minibus service still operates and the restaurant (very plain food) was available in the evenings. A Spar minimarket is within a short walk, well stocked and with a very nice coffee and ice cream cafe attached. Within a 10 minute stroll is a large (for Portugal) new Pingo Doce which is a real boon for the self caterer. Friendly reception staff as always and immaculately kept rooms with daily cleaning. Great value aparthotel...we will be back! PS look out for hoopoes foraging in the gardens, charming long beaked migratory birds.

This place was superb. Apartments perfect size, with patio area. The pool is very clean and my husband took a dip everyday even though it's chilly in November. The place as a whole was exceptionally clean. Staff were all outstanding, from cleaners to handy men to waiters to receptionists. They all were very welcoming and extremely helpful. Our Waiter Fabio deserves a special mention he was always smiling and very good at his job. It is unfortunate that a nasty drunk English gentleman decided to shout and swear at him whilst we were trying to eat one night. It was an embarrassment and clearly everyone saw that he'd had far too much to drink. Fabio handled it very well although he was quite upset. This really is a lovely place to stay and we will be back.

A fantastic lovely little hotel set in lovely little gardens , we stayed in a studio apartment and it was everything we needed , so so clean , was cleaned every day !! With fresh towels every day also,amazing! Staff were so lovely too , especially the pool bar staff , we were always made to feel welcome & the food was really good! Great shuttle bus service down to the marina and back 3 different times per day & if the bus was full they will do another trip. The area is very quiet but so nice , only one spar shop at the bottom of the road but has everything you would need with a lovely wee cafe/bakery attached with outside seating to enjoy your coffee ☕️. It was our first visit to Vilamoura but won’t be our last Thank you all.

We chose a self-catering, studio apartment - we wanted to be independent/left alone and use the pool (twice a day). Our welcome was so warm; the team who serviced our room were lovely, doing a great job - the room was immaculate. Previous reviews have described the studios as 'dated'; they're not "Instagram-modern", but everything was solid and worked well - perfect for us. Dishes, cutlery, etc. all in place. The beds were very comfortable, and no disturbances to a great night's sleep. The shower water flowed hot and strong (maybe it varies at other times of the year?). We didn't have to fight for poolside loungers and umbrellas at this time of year, and the pool is, for that first moment, fresh; but once you're floating about under the blue sky, you really don't need heating. And, because this is the 'grown-up' pool there is a real respect for shared peace and quiet. The wonderful, local Spar was a 15-minute walk, so it was easy to stock up on affordable food and drink (and to look around the local neighbourhood). (Check out the pre-cooked chicken deli counter - probably around 10-30-11 am). We walked down to the Marina (20-minute walk) and had a couple of wonderful lunches - don't mind being gently hustled by the staff, just look at the menus and choose. We didn't enjoy the beach area down near the resort hotels (30 minute walk?) as much. Local taxis were great, if needed. Uber app is also worth downloading. We'll be back.

so peaceful you feel at the top of a mountain. the bird song is so enjoyable, we sat by the pool most of the day. the whole place is only accessible by key card at gates and is same for apartment doors. some of the woodwork in apartments is dated and layouts are unusual but still works. ours had a beautifully modern full kitchen (oven, dishwasher and fridge freezer) which we were super excited about. modern bathroom and lounge, free WiFi with personal room code found it easy to connect to WiFi in all areas we enjoyed. receptionist was super helpful, walked us to our rooms and directed us to nearest exit to street (more than one- locked at a certain time) as I have mobility issues we were kindly located in the easiest apartment for exit, pool ect (55-02) it was near the pool but for me the outside toilets near pool are not easily accessible so used apartment toilet. there are at least two types of apartments ours look the oldest but were suitable for us. I’d mention the mattress but generally in Portugal mattresses are firmer that Uk hotels. would definitely return as it’s beautifully peaceful location (mostly residential).

Nice pool areas, spacious complex and two pools (one without kids pools) was great Bottle of water in the apt on arrival was nice touch. Pool towels available at reception

We had a great stay in a great garden view ground floor apartment. Great kitchen, large living area with air con and 5 minutes walk from the pool areas and restaurant. The staff were amazing and Carmel in reception was so helpful. Less than 10 mins walk to the local SPAR and 15 mins to the stunning marina. I would definitely recommend BJ's restaurant on the beach and the Cabin Irish Bar if you want to watch a football match. We usually walked down to the Marina and took an UBER back (approx 4 or 5 euro) There is a lovely peaceful tranquility around the apartaments and i loved the way all of the guests were relaxed about sunbeds around the pool and there wasn't the usual craziness of reserving a sunlonger at 7am! Whatever time we went to the pool there was always somewhere to lie with an umbrella of natural shade drom the pine trees. The outdoor seating and sunloungers om the veranda were also great as was the restaurant on site where we had a lovely breakfast one.morning and take away pizza another. The daily housekeeping (except on Sundays) was superb. We loved our stay and will definitely be back to Pinhal da Marina!

Loved this holiday. We stayed in a studio room with pool view for 10 nights self catering. There was everything you could possibly need including fridge freezer, 2 rings, microwave. All pots, pans, utensils, cutlery & crockery etc. washing up liquid & tea-towels also provided. Free safe. Air con good. The staff on reception & in the restaurant were the loveliest, most friendly staff ever. Ate in the restaurant on an evening most nights & the meals were fresh, tasty & plentiful. No problem getting a bed by the pool most days but it wasn’t a problem anyway because every single room had 2 beds provided on their large balcony. We didn’t mind using these on a few busy days because we didn’t have children with us. Lovely & peaceful around the pools, no need for entertainment or music. 5 or 6 minute walk to the Spar ( use the side gate for leaving & returning to complex, it saves a few minutes) the beautiful marina is between 15 / 20 minutes walk depending on your mobility. Already booked for next year we enjoyed it that much.

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and only a ten minutes walk from the beach. The lobby is beautiful with a great bar for drinks and snacks. The pool area is very nice and relaxing with a garden area away from the pool to take shade. The breakfast buffet had a great variety of food and I particularly liked the variety of fresh juices. I booked a garden view, and when I spoke to reception to express my disappointment that it was facing the carpark, I was met with a not so considerate response of ‘well there is a garden in the carpark too, if you want the garden view on the pool side of the hotel you will have to upgrade at your own cost’. I didn’t upgrade as I was on the end of the corridor and had a window in my room with a sea view at least. Considering the cost of the hotel per night coupled with the fact that there was no option for ‘carpark garden view’ or ‘pool garden view’ it was only specified as garden view, I feel the response was unjustified. However, for the remainder of my stay the staff were very nice and courteous.

We stayed there for a week , few days around the pool and then few on the beach . Relaxing break where the pool was relaxing with very accommodating staff for your relaxing day and started with a great choice for breakfast for every one's tastes. Tried the bbq eve at hotel and spa food very good but preferred the smaller residence at the garden hotel, but that's our choice.. Great choice of restaurants down at the beach.Izzys beach bar great for food and Julia's for a drink watching the sunset. Courtesy shuttle to beach very prompt and extra helpful if you wanted collecting later in eve. Room was in brand new accommodation overlooking small pool and tennis clubs. Grounds well kept .

Just arrived back after a most pleasant stay at the Ria Park Hotel. All the staff were friendly and most intentive. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel itself was clean and tidy and the pool area was surrounded by palm trees and we spent many a relaxing time under them along side of the pool. The only downside, if any, I would suggest hiring a vehicle as it is in a residential area and we had to hire taxis to get to the various places to visit. I would highly recommend the Ria Park Hotel.

Pool,rooms ,staff,breakfast,pool bar Able to feel relaxed safe well looked after

The Ria Park Garden is a beautiful, clean hotel with friendly, helpful staff who are on call all the time to help and great if you just want to chill out & do nothing. Our room was huge and quiet with lovely power shower, comfy bed and balcony overlooking the well kept luscious green gardens and pool. Breakfast was delicious with a good choice of hot and cold food. The pool bar served all drinks and great lunches and the waiter service to your sunbed was a bonus. The free shuttle bus to the beach and back is great (10am-7pm), from there you can walk to Izzie's, Julia's, Eduardo's and Maria's beach bars and restaurants.

Only stayed here for about 5 hours as we had to leave our accommodation at 10 and flight at 21:00, so we decided to use the day pass At browns so as not to spend hours in cafes and bars before leaving . So glad we did .. we visited the resort days before to take a look and found the staff very helpful . The resort filled our every needs and more . We were able to leave our cases in a secure location , use the pool area and play ground for kids . Also available are indoor pool and sauna and a great bar which serves nice food again with friendly staff .. we were able to shower and prepare for our journey home fresh rather than being tired and the day drag on for hours .. If you have a similar situation where you have to check out of a private villa early and your flight is not till late I would highly recommend this resort . The icing on the cake was where the girl from reception carried my suit case up some stairs to help, against my instruction .. Although I haven’t stayed for a full holiday here, on the basis of my day here I would .

I spent a week at Vila Moura with family having traveled from Australia. My usual routine is to do 3-4 gym workouts each week and there wasn’t much information about fitness centres in VilaMoura. Fortunately with a little help from Google Maps I found Browns and walked there (25 mins from Tennis Villas). It’s an attractive walk up past the golf course and the Staff, in particular the delightful lady in Reception could not have been more welcoming and helpful ( particularly for an Aussie who speaks no Portuguese 😊). I visited four times, had access to the gym, inside and outside pool and change rooms for 20Euros per visit or week at 70Euros. It’s a well equipped gym and my wife joined me one day and relaxed by the pool and had coffee in the cafe. A great find that really helped to make this a pleasant and healthy visit.

Accommodation was perfect, small complex and so located close to pool, training grounds, playground etc. pool not over crowded. staff excellent, food nice.

I go here a lot usually 2 or 3 times a year. Accommodation is great and I start to relax as soon as I open the door. Unlike at home, I get into the gym most days for a couple of hours. Sunbathing by the pool, and swimming in it, are a delight even though the beach is only 5 minutes away by car. The bar/restaurant serve excellent coffee and the evening menu always has delicious fish. Dimitri on the bar has recommended some great wines with Autores white being the latest top choice (January 2020). I often go on my own to try to get some exercise done before my wife joins me and I feel perfectly comfortable being on my own. Rugby and football on the bar TV most nights. Beds are comfortable and rooms are clean. All rooms have cooking facilities so you can eat cheaply when required. Staff are really friendly. The rugby/football pitches are inspirational and make me wish I was still playing. I will keep coming back.

We were not staying at Browns, however we’re staying 4 Kilometres away in Vilamoura. My partner and I were looking for a gym to use whilst we were on holiday. I messaged Browns to see if this was possible and they advised it was. It would be either €20 a day or €70 for a week pass each. This gave access to entire facilities & gym. If you wanted to play Tennis/Paddle there was an additional cost. The gym was good, had everything you needed for a full body work out, equipment was relatively new and treadmills looked in good quality. On the last day of our holiday we had to check out of our accommodation in Vilamoura at 11, our flight was not till 2000, we went to browns and paid for a day pass. This allowed us to use the outdoor pool and gym whilst they stored our suitcases for us :) To add, there is a lovely little cafe/sports bar serving breakfast and lunch. Overall, would recommend!

Our stay in Hotel Made Inn Faro has been great and we can confirm that all the positive reviews we had seen were truthful. The hotel is 100% clean, new and modern and quiet and we felt very comfortable. While we paid only the most basic room, we were pleasantly surprised that we were given a bigger family room for the three of us (my husband and I and our 2 year old) and really had plenty of space with a separate room from our toddler which was really welcome. At first we were a bit disappointed at the lack of fridge in the room but at the reception they made us aware that we could use the fridge in the dining area which was accessible at anytime so that had solved our problem. The only 2 tiny things to point would be that there was no microwave to use (we were told they had one for staff only) so not the most convenient when you travel with a small child and that the pillows were too hard for our taste (but that is very subjective of course). Perhaps it would be better to provide 2 types of pillows. Location was perfect, although the surrounding area is not the prettiest, it is a 5 minute walk to the very center. Overall a very happy customer and we would stay again for sure.

Made Inn Faro was a brilliant hotel that me and my twin brother stayed in on our three day trip to Faro and it was a great place to explore this fascinating city. Located on R.Maguel Bombarda'this hotel exceeded our expectations and it's a hotel we really enjoyed staying in.It's our 1st time in Faro and we'd just been in Albufeira on a four day break. We chose this hotel as it got great review's and good feed-back.The hotel is in a really rustic area (run-down) but only a couple of minutes to the old town and marina.On our stay here we were allocated (room 06) that was on the ground floor. The room we had was modern with superb twin bed's.The room was spacious and the shower/ bathroom was excellent.When me and my twin brother stayed here we had a breakfast that was 9 euros each which was superb and well worth the money. All in all a brilliant hotel in an excellent city and well worth staying in. (This is my 1st review of the Hotel Made Inn Faro).

Check-in was a breeze,quick and effortless! The reception closes at 11:30 PM, but there’s a handy self-check-in option for late arrivals (we didn’t need it this time). We didn’t book breakfast, so can’t comment on that, but everything else exceeded our expectations. The location is fantastic,just a pleasant 10-minute stroll from Faro’s charming old town. Our room was on the smaller side, but it was perfect for what we needed: a comfortable place to rest after exploring. It had everything we could ask for, and the air conditioning was wonderfully powerful on those hot summer days. The entire hotel, including our room, was spotless. A special shoutout to the two lovely receptionists who warmly welcomed us and kindly stored our luggage before our airport departure. They made us feel truly cared for.If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and conveniently located stay in Faro, this hotel is an absolute winner. Highly recommended!

1st visit to Faro and the hotel we chose to stay in for our visit was Made Inn and I must say our stay here was amazing. The hotel is in a great location, easy access to the main tourist destinations of this city ,hotel is spotlessly clean, we were allocated a room straight away, on the ground floor, a twin bedded room ,flat screen tv, bathroom super clean, we payed extra for a breakfast, breakfast was absolutely delicious, quite a big choice, big shout out to the staff ,lovely and helpful, loved our 3 nights here ,we will most definitely stop here again next time we're in Faro hopefully very soon.

Great location - A stroll to old town and all main attractions. Very close to bus and train station - perfect for day trips Quiet snd safe location. modern fresh spotlessly clean and facilities excellent. Lovely room with balcony Very comfortable bed and bedding Air conditioning . Great WIFI. super shower w/ towels essential toiletries etc Breakfast also Excellent We had breakfast x 4 mornings - very enjoyable Staff spoke perfect English - very pleasant polite and helpful. Lady running dining room also very pleasant and keen to help - clearly and justifiably proud of her service Would not hesitate to recommend and would stay again

This was my second time staying here, as I had such a great experience last time (March 2019) as well. My brother and I stayed from the 15th - 19th ofJuly 2024. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. They all went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The reception staff, especially Claudia, Alexandra, Rute and Yoao were fantastic! On behalf of my brother and I we really appreciated them. The hotel was lovely and clean. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were very comfortable with air conditioning. The hotel bar area was a nice place to relax and their was great Wi-Fi coverage. The hotel location is good. It was a 10 minute walk to the marina and town centre. We have recommended this hotel to our family and friends.

My daughter and I are just about to check out of this hotel after a few days away visiting the city. This hotel is a hidden gem! Font be fooled by all the bigger hotels, this hotel is just great. The rooms are quiet, very clean with everything you could want or need. We were in room 305 as Nd had a room only, although food options are available. The staff are friendly and helpful and Claudia goes above and beyond with recommendations, tips, and anything you may need such as extra sugar for our coffees in our room. We would highly recommend this hotel . A great price, easy reach of everything. We would definitely recommend this hotel and we would certainly return in the future.

We had 2 nights here and had a great stay. The staff are brilliant. Alexandra helped us before we even arrived as we needed an extra night due to a late flight cancellation. We could not have the same room but she organised another room on short notice and arranged for an extra bed for our daughter. Felipe was also very friendly and helpful during our stay. The suite was really clean and spacious with a nice balcony space. The location is a great base for exploring Faro. We will definitely stay here again if we visit Faro again.

My friend and I came to Faro for a weekend get away. We arrived too early to check in, but the receptionist recommended a great cafe for breakfast and a few places to visit before check in. Upon check in, the room was neat and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. There's a small coffee/bar where in the evening I would have a glass of wine. The hotel exceeded my expectations. Also very close walk down to the marina. I would highly recommend this hotel. Great value! 😊 I will be back!

We needed a hotel while we waited for our son to be transferred home to Ireland after a serious car accident. They booked us in for a week, but said that they would refund any unused nights if the transfer came sooner. When things got bogged down with insurance, they offered to extend our stay with a usually unused room if necessary. The hotel was very good, but the staff and management make it outstanding.

This is a hidden gem … we stayed for a week and we loved everything about it!! The staff were wonderful and couldn’t do enough for us. The rooms were very luxurious with really comfortable beds. Hotel was immaculate and the pool area was so clean and really comfortable. Close to beach and restaurants and when we needed an uber they were easy to come by. This is our first time staying here but we are already planning a return visit !

This is an absolute gem hidden in quinta do lago, near to everything that the golden triangle has to offer. The boutique hotel is truly 5 star with wonderful tastefully decorated rooms and lovely super helpful staff . It has a lovely outdoor dining area and swimming pool . Wonderful continental breakfast included in the overnight stay. Hot breakfast is also available . I highly recommend Sally and her highly trained devoted staff. I wish I discovered this gem earlier . I will be back

Wonderful warm welcome from the in-house team, absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Relaxed chilled atmosphere, staff were discreet yet present, the pool area was attractive and not overcrowded, the room was spacious, the bed so comfortable and the breakfast delicious. I couldn’t fault any of it, they had thought of everything - it was all just lovely. Thank you one and all - I will definitely be back!

Nice boutique hotel with well-appointed large rooms. Nice pool area and a good location. A great place to stay if you are the independent type who isn't looking for many bells and whistles as far as facilities go. Very straightforward and had good service overall. Comfortable and easy-going atmosphere.

We liked everything about this beautiful boutique hotel. Comfy bed and pillows, impeccably clean, nice terrace, great breakfast, dog friendly, ample free parking, gardens, grounds, pool and Sally, the manager is simply the best !!!

The location was great - about 5 mins walk to the train station, restaurants and the shops! The 24 hour reception was brilliant and we were welcomed whatever time of day/evening it was - the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our suitcases in a room at reception and go to the beach whilst we were waiting to check in - we were even offered beach towels to take with us! The hotel's reception area was immaculate as was our room. Stayed for 1 night at beginning of our holiday and 1 night at the end of our stay! The first room was overlooking the front of hotel and was a little compact but was fine for 1 nights stay but the room we had at end of our stay was overlooking the court yard and was much bigger and quieter but both were immaculate We had breakfast on the first day which was amazing - the choice was excellent and everything was so fresh and well laid out and we could eat in the breakfast room or out in the court yard - once again ver helpful staff.

Extremally helpful and amazing hotel staff that helped us immediately in difficult situation. Our phone got stuck behind toilet, the manager arranged craftsmen to come early morning and we got the phone back in 15 min. Amazing customer support. It really saved our day and stay. Amazing location, 10 min from Old Town, 3 min from the bus stop from where you can go to the Praia de Faro beach as well as to the airport. 20 min by bus to the beach and 15 to airport. Room interior is simple but it includes all that is needed for a few days stay. Hairdryer, towels, small cosmetics, small desk....all is there. We did not try breakfast but it looked quite well and was at a reasonable price. Hotel has patio, where guests can seat and eat breakfast. Hotel provided free of charge beach towels, which you can exchange each day. You can leave bag in a storage room after check out time and your travel time. 3 min from the hotel there are 2 restaurants serving fresh seafood.

The staff were lovely and helpful, the hotel in the best location for all the sites in the city and restaurants/bars as well. The room was spotless and the breakfast was great value for money. I would definitely stay here again when in Faro. 10/10.

The staff, first of all, was amazing, they were so kind and nice to us I felt very comfy. The room was perfect, with balcony, quiet, beautiful. The hotel is next to the most important parts of the city.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel and my room was clean and bright, very convenient for walking around the old town, access to boat trips, and the bus, train, airport. Would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is in a great location close to the harbour, The room was spacious with 2 beds ( I travelled with my son ) so we had a bed each. The room was clean and had shampoo body wash etc..The pool at the hotel was clean and sunbeds where around the pool where in good condition.

Great location - 2 minute walk to the beach and marina Breakfast offered good selection Good pool facilities and reasonable pool bar Room was cleaned well everyday Towel service was a life saver

We had a lovely stay, breakfast was exceptional and pool was great. Pool towels were also provided which was a bonus.

Breakfast was perfect. A lot of variety, including different types of breads, get your own omelette and pick your toppings, loads of cheese and cold meats, fruits, juice, cake... The room was big for a double bed, but as we had an extra bed in became a bit claustrophobic, even more with the single bed put in the middle of the corridor. Despite that, really appreciated the comfortable beds and the nice balcony over the pool. Nice pool bar, nice evening entertainment by the indoor bar. Good location, 3-minute walk from the marina and about 5 to the beach.

Hotel is a great location to be able to walk to the beach and the marina for dinner. Pool area is nice enough, a couple of the sunbeds need replacing but otherwise did the job! Great pool bar that does lunch and snacks too. Breakfast was good. We didn’t spend too much time in the hotel as we had a wedding nearby but our room was great, good beds and nice to sit out on the balcony looking out to the marina.

Loved it....the staff were so helpful with local info....breakfast was great and 24hr use of kitchen was a bonus....location was perfect for walking everywhere.....shopping, Old Town, the Marina, boat tours within minutes....easy to navigate....i'm travelling on, but glad i opted to wait until leaving to get a rental car....parking is tight in the area amd because everything is so close, having a car while staying in Faro,would have been a burden to me......i would dedinitely stay here again...and use their airport transport service..i left my handbag in the vehicle when being dropped off, and the driver returned it to me immediately..EVERYTHING important was in it..my passport, $$$....it could have been devastating...sooooo grateful

We loved the Lemon Tree!! Let me first say that the courtyard area is so very charming, complete with a beautiful lemon tree. There is beautiful seating not only for relaxing but for breakfast service as well. Breakfast was incredible. Staff were super friendly. It felt like home. They had information and booked trips and were happy to help with anything at all. There's access to their kitchen too for drinks. The room was brand new and immaculately done. Nice and modern, esp. the bathroom. AC worked well. Our particular room was a little tight but it all worked out and we would definitely recommend and definitely stay here again.

The Lemon Tree Stay is a delightful property fully embracing the lemon tree theme, from the shade of the lemon tree in the courtyard where a delicious breakfast is served, to handmade lemon soap in the room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Tea and coffee freely available in a small kitchen with an honesty bar (water, beer, red and white wine, and ice cream). Location in the centre very quiet and a short (10 min or less) walk to the Old Town, harbour, and other tourist attractions. Roof top terrace completed a delightful experience. Highly recommended.

We went into this stay fairly blind, so we weren’t sure what to expect. Let me tell you, we would absolutely stay here again. This place is perfectly appointed, check in was so easy and amazing, and you have anything you need. Be pleasantly prepared to experience Ritz Carlton style service! Vasco the owner is absolutely amazing and truly cares about all his guests. Wonderful, wonderful place. Wish we could have stayed longer. Panda the dog was an added bonus and made us feel right at home. Thank you, Lemon Tree Stay!!!

The hotel itself was nice, we enjoyed the artistic, tasteful design, and of course the lemon tree. But BY FAR the best thing was the staff. They were absolutely phenomenal, throughout the entire booking process, and stay. They were super quick and thorough with there email responses to all my questions. They made sure everything was taken care of, from start to finish, and made us feel extremely comfortable, well looked after. Couldn't recommend this place more highly! Thank you to Tais, Rita, and all the other staff :)

It’s my third stay and i think it’s a great hotel It’s very clear what it is and what it is not The lockers are great idea and work well Pool good, poolside bar good Very satisfied - a little pricey but still worth it avoiding taxis to the airport

Boutique hotel with pool and walking distance to Faro airport! I highly recommend this hotel for an early flight or overnight layover! The pool area and big luggage lockers are definitely a plus!

Although only stayed for one night after we arrived late it was lovely and close to the airport which was lovely and convenient. The rooms was also really nice and modern. Being that we were only down the road from the airport, it was a very quiet and peaceful night as you could not hear any plans coming or departing while the door to the balcony was closed. Can’t comment on the facilities as we didn’t use them but we did see the swimming pool as we left in the morning. The staff was also very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again for the convenience and comfort.

The location. Of this property is perfect for an over night stay before an early flight or a late flight arriving. It’s very easy to get from the airport to the hotel. It’s only a 10 minute walk .The room we had was fine and spacious , very clean and comfortable . We also had a very big balcony which was nice. As we only stayed the one night we didn use the pool or have brekkie the following morning so can’t comment on those. However I will say the staff were very very friendly and welcoming .

I booked this for 1 night as I was waiting for friends to arrive the next day as all coming from different destinations. It was excellent 👏 10/12 minutes walk from airport The room was spotless as the rest of the hotel The staff is really friendly, polite & helpful. Their flights were delayed the next day & staff had no problem letting me stay by pool for 4hours after checking out of room at 12.00. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A family friendly location with a personal feel about it. Very friendly staff and a special mention to the staff in the pool restaurant service area who provide not just great food but a warm, friendly & personal service. Not as busy as some other places close by, so no rush to get a sun bed or into a crowded pool, just time to relax at your own pace.

We had a 2-bedroom apartment which was beautiful and spacious with a balcony overlooking the sea and a patio area with a garden. We had a cleaning service everyday which was great. We had a separate bathroom with a powerful shower and an en-suite with a jacuzzi bath. Location was brilliant with lots of great restaurants within walking distance and we were beside the Rio de Formosa and the beach which had a great running/ walking route which was perfect for us as we are currently training for a half marathon. Pool area was great with an on-site restaurant where there was a great selection and the owner/manager was such a nice man. Service was excellent.

The nicest place that we have stayed at... Very clean... stunning apartment... like brand new... We left every morning for a lovely walk on the beach, and when we arrived back to the apartment, our beds were made, and the apartment was immaculately clean again.. The reception staff were very friendly.. Both the swimming pools were stunning and very clean also. We are definitely going back again...

Fab apt with every mod con and comfort. We were impressed with space inside and had garden outside with access to pool Would definitely go back. Only downside- no bar/restaurant

It is located in a very quiet location surrounded by golf courses. We enjoyed the indoor pool.

We booked here on the day as our flights were cancelled on the way to the airport. They accommodated us at short notice, and upgraded us to a lovely suite with fantastic views of the ocean. The staff were super friendly, the pool was clean and a really nice open area. There's a bar by the pool with tvs and pool table. The room itself was a bit dated, but clean and well equipped. The bathroom had just been renovated and was very nice. I would definitely stay here again, thankyou.

We had a very enjoyable holiday. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The pool area was pleasant. The food was nice and the young waitress looked after us well. Needed some repairs to the poolside toilet facilities and there were some cracked tiles in the dated bathrooms. A few area maps would have been a nice addition.

My partner and I had an excellent 10 nights at Dom Pedro Portobello at the end of September. The 1 bedroom sea view apartment felt huge! The furniture/decor and utensils in the kitchinette/living room and bedroom were a little dated in style but in great condition. The bathroom was more modern, plenty of space, big mirror with plenty of light, great shower. Decent sized pool with plenty of sun loungers and parasols (all that towel out early stuff isn't allowed - appreciated). We never spent any time in the bar area, but very much enjoyed the one evening meal we had at the restaurant - my swordfish main was particularly tasty. We had breakfast included which we were very happy with, even after 9 of them!. I'll call out the pasteis de nata, fresh watermelon/melon/pineapple, and surprisingly good scrambled eggs as highlights. Amazingly friendly, flexible, and helpful staff - at reception, in the restaurant, and room cleaning. Our last morning was a very early exit and they kindly arranged a packed breakfast for us to go. We never got a chance to use it but we were told it's possible to access a spa at a neighbouring Dom Pedro hotel. The location is good, 5 min walk to either the beach or marina. Vilamoura we found a little pricier than the more Portuguese/less touristy Algarve towns like Faro, Loule, Tavira, but still cheaper than the UK. There's plenty of good food and drink options - especially all the fresh seafood. We would happily return here in the future.

While the decor is a little bit dated, this is a very clean hotel with great facilities. Rooms and public areas very clean. Apartment was plenty big with great balcony. Newly fitted bathroom. Very comfortable bed and sofas. The food was very good especially the breakfast including the Irish/English foods. The pool was lovely and clean and warm. Plenty of sunbeds, towels and tables and chairs. The biggest plus for this hotel is the staff. Particularly the ladies doing breakfast. Always smiling and welcoming. Always professional. This hotel is excellent and great value and within a couple of minutes walk to both the beach and marina. I would highly recommend.

Great value and incredibly friendly staff who show a real pride in their job. Location is perfect, short walk to the marina and beach but a quiet area, I was a bit worried from previous reviews after I booked the hotel for our golf trip but we were delighted with the size and comfort of the rooms. The decor is dated but everything worked well and the rooms are enormous which made it perfect for our trip. Pool is fantastic and the place is spotless, they seem to constantly clean the foyer and always greeted with a cheery smile when we came back to the hotel, will definitely be back!

The reviews for this hotel are mixed. The hotel itself is fabulous, clean and spacious. The rooms are clean and the superior sea view room really was stunning, we were on floor 4. The room was plenty big enough for us (2 adults & 14 year old) there was one huge bed and one extra bed still leaving plenty of room. The bathroom was clean and had a huge shower but no bath (not an issue for us). The pool area was immaculate, we could always get a sun lounger around the pool and used the hotels towels. Previous reviews are correct, the pool bar is a little on the expensive side but your paying for the convenience. The breakfast selection is always my favorite bit of a hotel stay, the Tivoli didn’t disappoint, breakfast was fabulous. We used the cocktail bar overlooking the harbour one night and the views are just stunning. We also sampled the cafe in reception, beautiful cakes which were reasonably priced. The staff could be a bit mixed, mostly polite and helpful, reception for check in and check out was easy and functional. However, the concierge really are the first people you meet at the hotel and they are a credit to the hotel, they were welcoming, warm and friendly. We would definitely visit the hotel again.

We loved our stay at Tivoli Marina Vilamoura. Breakfast was very good. Pool is nice. We did not try the adults only one. Puro beach is excellent but sunbeds are expensive specially on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Oregano restaurant by the pool serves outstanding food quality. Chris was excellent and very helpful. The superior room is spacious, very clean and comfortable. Staff very attentive and the person in charge of all the food services was very accommodating to our needs. All staff are very pleasant and eager to please. The spa is small but very nice and included in the Hotel price. Car parking was free and that was a bonus. The Gym is very good. Nice cocktails at the pool and very relaxed atmosphere with excellent waitresses service. In summary, excellent stay and my wife are thinking of coming back again.

The hotel was fabulous what it did lack was atmosphere around the pool, children were throwing balls to each other in the pool and were told to stop which I thought was unnecessary but apart from that it was a fabulous stay in a great location, would highly recommend the hotel just don't be buying a ball to throw in the pool.

I visited in the last week of September and the hotel did not feel at full capacity, which was nice. There were plenty of available sun beds. The cocktails were very well made and the breakfast buffet had plenty of choice. The sun beds on the beach were part of the beach club and they had an extra charge. There was also a beach club pool with an extra charge. We stayed by the main pool which was included and enjoyed it there. We had a room with a marina view and at night there was a fair bit of noise from the loud bars around the marina. The marina views do not get any sun so drying swim clothes took longer than normal. The room was very large, and the housekeeping did a great job. Overall I enjoyed my stay at Tivoli Marina, if I visit again I would pay extra for a sea view room.

The hotel has the best site in Vilamoura without a doubt. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, shops etc. Views of both the harbour and the beach. Breakfast has the usual standard choices however the food is not particularly hot. Peppers restaurant on site has excellent service and food, would recommend a visit although a little pricier. Down side, service at the pool bar area is particularly poor, lacking in remembering your order, no visible communication with there customers to place an order in the first place. No organisation whatsoever. If you have booked a Puro Beach room this comes with free access to both the adult pool area and beach area with better lounge chairs however you need to book your visits to these areas in advance or your turned away. Getting to your seats takes a considerable time to achieve, for some reason looking on a computer to see which chairs is yours seems to be extremely difficult to look up for the hostesses. Your a supposed to have complimentary water and fruit on arrival in both these areas. Good luck getting them before you leave your chairs for the day. Plenty of staff attending however no real work being carried out, lacks organisation also and staff either forget your order or bring it a good hour later. This seriously needs to be addressed. They are more interested in serving the public that has paid a bomb to enter rather than those who have paid in their room rate. A DJ blasts music from 3pm daily at both areas.

Everything. The staff were amazing especially the co owner brothers that look like twins. Juan was extremely pleasant and helpful. The food was the best we had in our trip. Fabulous seabass, beautifully cooked, large fish, and very very reasonably priced at 15 euro including veg and potatoes. The restaurant had silver service, white linen tablecloths, indoor and out door seating. Also a superb range of interesting alcoholic beverages reasonably priced. Juan was most helpful and friendly. Our room was airy and large with super big bed and Fabulous power shower large bathroom. I could not fault it and location was just perfect beside old town, shopping district, restaurant street, Port with ferry to Faro Beach and 10 euro taxi from Airport. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely boutique hotel located on the right hand side of the Hotel Faro walk up the pedestrian area for 1 min hotel on right. Very large comfortable bed and pillows( extra ones available). Sea view with lovely small balcony (304 Great room ).Double wardrobes, desk TV free safe nice lighting.Seperate modern shower room plus sink/toilet .Free safe. Lift offers great accessibility for small boutique hotel. Great staff Tiago was very helpful. Best location next to shops resteraunts etc next to Hotel Faro( which has lovely rooftop bar to watch sunset) and great value for money .Will definitely return . Only negative is issues with wifi.

What an absolutely lovely hotel, nestled away right on the harbour front ideal location with fantastic/attentive staff. Hotel was lovely and clean, bedding/towels changed every day. We had breakfast one morning and was great value for money. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and most certainly would book again upon future visit to this lovely city. Thank you team Aqua Ria for a great stay.

The location is very central. The staff were efficient and very helpful. We arrived very early and with alot of luggage, the hotel stored it in their storeroom so we could go off and enjoy ourselves. We were thrilled because they didn't have to do that. The breakfast is lovely too.

The hotel was clean and the room we stayed in was a great size. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants close by. The walk to the ferry for the beach was only a few minutes. Great stay and would recommend.

We ended up at the Faro Boutique Hotel after being unable to land in Madeira and being dropped in Faro. It was short notice, trying to find something as we were getting off the plane and somewhere that could take 12 of us. The staff were very pleasant and the hotel was ok. The rooftop bar was amazing, so peaceful and perfect for lying in the sun with a cold beer, there’s no pool though. They had a rooftop festival in Faro that weekend, with lots of rooftop bars taking part. Our bar had Jazz and Blues music and we got the chance to take part in building up a song from nothing. It was my favourite part of the break. Faro centre itself isn’t amazing but this hotel and location are a perfect starting point to all the trips on offer. There was a self service continental breakfast, which was more than adequate and the rooms were cleaned every day. If I ever go back to Faro I would stay here again.

The best thing about this hotel was the kindness of the staff. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and did all they could to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I had an issue with my room which had a loud humming noise which would have kept me awake. The manager, Ricardo, was very kind and understanding and moved me to another room where there was no humming. For people who don't sleep well, you would ideally ask for a room away from the lift and stairwell as this area could be noisy with slamming doors, people talking, lift going up and down, but away from the stairwell it was quiet. The room was cleaned daily by super kind and friendly people and the people serving breakfast were super helpful too. The breakfast was very nice - as described by others - cereal, bread, cheese, yoghurts, fruit, tea and coffee. It was also possible to book a massage as there is a woman who visits the hotel to offer this service in one of the rooms, which was divine. Just what we needed to help us wind down into the holiday. The location is within 10 minutes walk of all the main areas in the town - marina/ferry departure, cathedral, museums, bars, restaurants. You can get a ferry to Faro beach for 4 euros return and it goes every hour or so (more frequently as the season picks up). We also did a boat trip with Lands Eco Boat Tours, around the local nature reserve which is highly recommended. This isn't a luxury hotel but for the price it is worthy of 5 stars!

I'd like to share my experience at the hotel. The hotel itself was luxurious and had a fantastic location. The breakfast was delicious. However, when I checked in, I had booked a single room with a single/queen bed and requested a higher floor. Unfortunately, I was given a room with two full-size beds on the first floor overlooking the courtyard. When I asked if I had received the room I requested, the young lady at the front desk indicated yes but failed to disclose the room type until she activated the keys. I was displeased about this, but since I was only staying for one night, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. On a positive note, the Bellman João was fantastic and super helpful. The morning crew during check-out was also very helpful and sweet. One issue I encountered was that navigating the spa and the gym was quite difficult as there were no signs to guide the direction. I hope the hotel management considers adding signs to make it easier for customers.

The hotel checked every box we had when looking to book our Faro stay. Location is within walking distance from town center and the best places to visit, both bus and train station as well as bars and restaurants. Room was clean and we loved the fact that we had a coffee machine with a couple of coffee pods. There is also a coffee lounge near reception, prices are ridiculously cheap - €1 euro for a black americano and €0.8 for an espresso. Not to mention that the coffee was somewhat better than the ones we had out. Ricardo and the team have been incredibly helpful and we would like to once again thank them for making our stay so pleasant.

I moved to this hotel to be near Faro hospital where my husband was admitted into following a bleed on his brain. Up until checking into this hotel my holiday was very stressful but the excellent staff here were like family and looked after me so well. They went over and above to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible. The room facilities were excellent everything you need. Breakfast was very nice fresh produce. But it’s the staff that make this hotel special. I would like to return here soon. Thank you to the team at Faro Boutique Hotel

The staff was very friendly and they were able to speak English so that we could communicate back and forth. The rooms were absolutely clean and spotless and I stayed there a year ago in 2024. I would highly recommend this location even though it is a ways away from downtown. But if you're able to walk about 4 miles each way you can get there without having to pay a cab. The pool is clean and the breakfast were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend going to this location if you're visiting Faro.

Very happy with our stay at the Hotel Monaco. A short drive to the lovely old town of Faro and within walking distance to local bars and restaurants. All members of staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful. Excellent unlimited continental breakfast served till eleven and convenient checkout of midday. Parking outside the hotel. Bar and restaurant available from half three till half eleven. Swimming pool and garden area a big plus. Very handy for the airport.

The list will be endless: friendly staff to start with, the balcony with the breathtaking view, airport shuttle service, the pool, and the list will go on.

Stayed at at this hotel before my flight home every year for the last 15 years, great hotel everything you need, breakfast included, nice pool. friendly staff, bar and bar meals, airport shuttle, very clean what more do you need.

Nice hotel in quiet area with lots of parking outside. Close to airport. Outdoor swimming pool - overall a nice relaxed vibe and nice staff. 10mins to Faro center and to beach by shuttle bus or taxi Would recommend

Repeat visit: This was our second stay here, which says it all. We came back because we were really pleased the first time. Excellent facilities: Beautiful pool area, well-kept garden, and a great tennis court. The outdoor breakfast space is lovely, with plenty of tables and a relaxed vibe. Spacious apartments: Large, comfortable, and fully equipped. From the kitchen to the bathroom, everything you might need is provided. Comfort and convenience: The bedroom is cozy with lots of storage, and the balcony is a real highlight with a stunning view over the marina, perfect for relaxing. Attentive staff: Quick, polite, and always ready to help. They even let us leave our luggage after checkout and continue using the pool, a thoughtful touch.

Location was super. Room was very spacious. Staff were lovely. Pool area was nice and chill. Had children’s pool also. Breakfast was grand. Big balcony.

The Luna Olympus (Navigator but as recently re branded it is totally signed as Olympus) has only really nice large flats all privately ownwd. The panoramic view is wonderful. Only 5 mins walk to the beach. Our flat was really spacious and had everything except an iron. Beds were really comfortable. It is surrounded by bars, restraunts and shops. There is even a shop near the entrance which sells basic food and washing up stuff. There is a pool too but too cold until summer!

The 4 of us stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment and was amazed by how spacious it really was. Hotel was very clean, the staff were very friendly, breakfast was fine, swimming pool very nice, great location as very close to the beach and marina, also had supermarket next door along with a bar that served food if you didn't want to venture far, overall had a great holiday and would definately return here

We needed a hotel to lay our heads for one extra night after extending our holiday so we could watch the England Euro's final instead of flying home! Sadly, I didn't see any brothels, so I'm unsure where those bad reviews have come from. Its cheap and cheerful for what you need. We didn't use any facilities but the pool looked a decent size

Very close to the marina and private pool

Great location. Very close to the marina and short walk to the beach. We had a lovely ground floor apartment with a little garden. Everything you needed was in the apartment including iron and ironing board. Lovely private pool nearby.

It was a brilliant location with only 5 minute walk to the marina. The apartment was also very clean and comfortable with access to the small private pool.

The property was located a mere 3 minute walk from the marina. The pool was very close by and was never too busy even in July. The pool asssitant was very helpful! The apartment was basic but sufficient. Air conditioning was excellent.

The pool was lovely and clean as well as a cooling temperature. There were plenty of sun loungers to select from which was great. We could leave our bags in reception as we were early for check in. The location was perfect to get to the marina quickly whilst still being quiet. Beautiful apartments in excellent location.

Having booked this hotel last year, after using the spa facilities on our last day after checking out from the how across the road, we looked forward to seeing how it would deliver. Simply wonderful! Very friendly and helpful receptionists, waiting staff as well as everyone else working at Hilton As Cascatas Golf and Spa. We had a room upgrade which was a lovely gesture and this gave us even more space having the 2 bedroom luxury suite. It offers everything you need to make it a pleasant stay where you can choose to either go to on of the various restaurant on site or nearby using the shuttle bus to th2 marina. Alternatively, to do some self catering on the odd night. It does miss an oven glove so be mindful of this however trivial it is. The suite (as is the whole complex) is clean, well presented and offers a comfortable bed (except for the pillows that were very (too) soft but that's a personal preference). Various pools are on offer, towels for by the pool are provided with comfortable sun loungers. At times the music by the main pools was a bit overbearing although this wasn't always the case. You can opt for the romantic pool which is quieter and more relaxed. Overall As Cascatas offers all you could wish for to relax or be active with a well kitted out gym downstairs and golf nearby at one of the many courses in Vilamoura. Very well recommended for anyone that would like to explore the Algarve.

We’ve just returned from a week here and we’re really impressed. The suites are great. Loads of space in the living area and generous rooms. There’s a dishwasher and washing machine in the suites which is essential with the little ones. We hired a travel cot from reception for the week. It had a decent mattress and could be carried through a door to relocate the sleeping baby. We could have done with a high chair but to be honest I didn’t think to check if we could rent one. The indoor pool is great for swimming at this time of year. The outdoor pools aren’t heated so we stayed away from them as the kids are small and not that comfortable in water. The play ground is great. Large sand area with toys. Some climbing frames and 2 zip lines. We had planned to use the kids club but they don’t take under 4s which was disappointing for us. You have full access to the Hilton facilities and we had spa access included (that we couldn’t really use because of the kids club situation) but I went alone and it’s really beautiful. We only ate at the bar as the pool restaurant wasn’t open until we were leaving. The bar food wasn’t great. I’d would recommend going elsewhere if possible. It was hard to order anything and things were getting lost in translation. Overall this is a great place for kids and I would 100% recommend.

Our welcome at reception was excellent. Our room was very clean and overlooking the pool. We arrived late but could still order food at the Rubi bar. There was a singer that made the evening more enjoyable even though we were tired from travelling. Beautiful grounds, the gardens are very well kept with some amazing flowers. We used all the facilities and felt very safe and comfortable. The indoor swimming pool came in very handy for the children as the outside pools were cold during February (although that didn’t seem to stop them). The Spa is wonderful and very happy that the children could go in from 9.45-11am. The Spar shop was only 15 minutes walk away and the complementary shuttle bus to the Marina was a great addition. It was quiet, we felt we had the whole place to ourselves. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed. Just a few things I would change. The pillows were very high, the children and I found them to be uncomfortable. The furniture was a little dated and on closer inspection had chips and scratches however this didn’t effect our stay. The internet was a little slow at times which was frustrating as my husband was working. Overall a great hotel.

We found our 2 bedroom apartment to be clean and spacious. The pool was a bit busy but the larger Hilton pool always had space. The Hilton buffet breakfast was excellent and barely a 2 minute walk through the pool area.

We’ve stayed at this Hilton numerous times - it’s always our go to. Lots of positives - rooms and bathrooms clean and fresh, beds comfortable, staff friendly, good pool selection, good breakfast, grocery shop within walking distance. Only a few grumbles - towels / toilet rolls / tea and coffee / water often weren’t replenished (we were self catering); swimming pool surface is unnecessarily rough - hard to sit on to relax and I heard a lot of kids round the pool with scraped knees / feet/ snagged swimwear; food and drink expensive but I guess that’s just hotel rates. People get their towels on loungers early - they should discourage this as it means you’re often stuck with somewhere to sit at peak times and encourages a “if you can’t beat them, join them” mentality

It was our first time in Portugal. 4 Seasons Vilamoura was only a 30 minutes transfer from Faro airport, 10 mins in a taxi to local Marina and restaurants. There is also a good waterpark with slides and activities in a short proximity. It is in a lovely location with shops nearby. The resort itself is great with very welcoming and friendly staff. Our kids, 12 & 10 years old made friends and spent all the time in the pools. The food was good, not as much choice as we used to but couldn't fault it. We also enjoyed the snack bar by the pool for all the ice-creams, snacks and drinks during the day. What made our stay great was definitely the staff -they were excellent. The two bedroom apartment we stayed in was spacious and had everything we possibly could need during a week stay. The surroundings were well-maintained, clean and the pools were great. We are definitely planning to be back again :)

Loved the peaceful pool area. Only niggle was no toilet near pool. Also sometimes no one covering the pool bar.

The hotel is amazing ideal for anyone that has children and wants a hotel that has a resturant but also a kitchenette in the rooms to do some meals for your kids if they don't eat properly. I found this useful. If you plan to stay within the resort there is a kids club and list of things to keep them entertained . The hotel really accomodates children. Swimming pool, Steam room is amazing. Only thing is hotel must ensure kids under 10 years don't use the Sauna and Jaczuzzi this is not ideal but no one monitors this. The rooms are big, and lots of space to park cars. Also the hotel speak English for those you don't venture to speak Portuguese . Overall an amazing hotel.. Upon check in they accomodate my child with a good bag and free ice cream. For Adults with no children the hotel is really good with the swimming pool and the cocktail evenings if you are there on a Monday. I will definately go there again.

The reception staff were really helpful even before we had arrived - they arranged transport for us from Faro. Check in was easy and quick and although we arrived before our room was ready we were able to have lunch in the restaurant. Our room was amazing - really spacious and clean. We had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and balconies with tables and chairs and sunloungers on. The pool area was excellent. It was clean and there were 4 pools of different depths so ideal for children. The hotel offered a selection of inflatables for the children to borrow which they really enjoyed. There is a tourist train into town although we didn’t use it. But it stops outside the hotel. A taxi is less than €5. We ate in the restaurant once and the food was tasty and good value. Ana on reception was especially helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely return!

Lovely hotel, really welcoming and great pool. Outdoor heated pool isn’t really warm in April some warmer water running into it but not all the time. Otherwise great space in apartment for kids and breakfast!

The staff are so lovely here. This was our second time at this hotel and we can't wait to come back. The whole hotel is lovely with all the different pools and plenty of comfy sunbeds and parasols. The food at breakfast and cilantro is wonderful too. Unfortunately the pool bar and spa pools were shut during our stay. Some smaller lunch options would be nice at the aqualera restaurant.

The Hilton Vilamoura was beautiful, the rooms were lovely and clean, the staff was incredibly kind! The breakfast was lovely and worth the extra fee. I was travelling with 2 kids under 6 and the staff were all so kind to them. We were there in March and I believe the outdoor pools had just opened so they were cold, but the indoor pool is lovely. My 5 year old loved the playground and the staff there was so nice! I would definitely return here.

Hotel was large modern & clean, with friendly helpful staff. Our room was exceptional, clean modern, spacious, quiet, & being a corner room had a large double balcony with loungers. Breakfast room was spacious clean & modern with great variety of hot & cold which was regularly replenished. Pool area & loungers great. Especially the romantic pool. Great shuttle bus service to & from marina & beach.

Very friendly helpful staff. Useful free transport to beach and marina Only gripe I had was people going down at 7.30 in the morning to put towels on beds by pool and then not using them for hours. The staff didn’t monitor it as sign said they would so often no chance to have bed by pool.

Excellent hotel with a free shuttle to the stunning beach and marina. We stayed in a 2-bedroom pool view apartment which was clean and spacious. The only downside is that all sun beds by the main pool are taken (with towel on them) by 8am.

WOW! What a gem of a place! Booked a 5 day trip to Faro as we got a great deal in this Hotel. 5 min from airport. On arrival it looks a bit run down but when you step inside it's like a classic Portuguese dream! I loved it. Beautiful old fashioned Portuguese artifacts everywhere. We had the superior room with sea facing balcony. Beautiful immaculate clean large spacious room. Lots of lovely extras like fresh fruit, toiletries ect. Very charming. 1 minute walk to the most enormous stunning Golden beach ( which was empty!). 2 little beach restaurants which were both busy but not overly. We ate dinner I'm hotel which was fabulous. Lamb chops and steak were fabulous. Unfortunately on our 3rd day a storm hit! Was really exciting to watch the size of the waves become enormous. Because this is a small beach resort there is nothing to do apart from go to beach we decided to move into the city to a hotel with an indoor spa just to make the most of our r@r. Had it been good weather I would have spent all week here. Very reasonable priced and lovely professional staff. Thank you for our stay!

We have been going to this hotel since 2004, and have never been disappointed, or had cause to complain. In our opinion, this hotel is perfectly located: get off the plane, onto a bus or in a taxi, and head for the beach. 5 minutes later, you are at the hotel. The taxi costs approximately 10 euros. It's also a short walk to the ferry, which takes you across the rio formosa to the town centre. The ferry runs approximately every 30 minutes and a return fare is 3.75 euros. The hotel itself is clean, friendly, excellent value and the food is extremely good, although I found the dessert portion to be too large for me. The only issue on this visit was that there was building work taking place on the bridge near the hotel. Had we known about this, we would have packed earplugs. Not the fault of the hotel though, and we will definitely be back.

We stayed here for two nights, one at the beginning and one at the end of our holiday. The location is great for the airport only about 5 mins by car or you can get the 16 bus. The hotel looks a bit dated but has a certain charm which I liked. It is kept clean and the rooms were comfortable and had everything you would expect, all with sea or river views. The best part of the hotel is the bar/cafe/restaurant. Breakfast was excellent, fresh fruit, pastries, breads and hot eggs, bacon, beans and sausages. Bar open all day for snacks and drinks (Super Bock on tap, served in cold glasses). Dinner in the evening was great value, lovely fresh fish. To top it all off the staff were excellent, friendly, helpful and professional. Many larger hotels should come here and take notes. We will definitely return to this hotel if only for the fatias douradas.

The hotel is old but has a character to it. The staff on the front desk were wonderful and super friendly. A platter of fruit and a large bottle of water were provided on arrival. Tea abd coffee making facilities in the room. No lift but only 2 floors. Rooms were dated but spacious and comfortable. There was a balcony overlooking the lagoon which was very relaxing. I would avoid dinner here, there are plenty of better options nearby. The breakfast, however, is wonderful and plentiful. The rooms can be noisy in the evening from the resident band and singer (awful) but it finishes at 11pm. I would stay again if I was jn the area. Convenient for the airport and Uber cost about €6 each way.

The whole team in this hotel were exceptional under the extraordinary circumstances of the power outage . Our flights were cancelled and we needed a place to stay and this team went above and beyond. On arrival, enormous confusion , no computers, no electricity but we were looked after with kindness and care at the reception, helped up the stairs with our bags and had an amazing meal (still not sure how they did that)! In a very stressful situation, this hotel provided a haven and the team provided the care with compassion, humour and real humanity!

Lovely, very clean otel. Small but perfecly formed twin room. Can't thank the Staff enough for accommodating us with an early check-in (normally 16:00hrs local time) Breakfast was of good quality and a choice of hot or cold buffet as well as cereals, breads and pastries. All Staff within the hotel are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. If we had one negative - and this would be us being hyper critical - it would be the ensuite. It's a little tight. The shower door in the en-suite didn't close properly and the floor became a small pond when showering. The space between the shower cubicle and vanity unit is a bit tight for the toilet. However, as two small people, we managed fine. The Hotel itself is very central and the longer we stayed, the more convienient we realised it was for getting around Faro, being within walking distance to the bus station, train station and the marina.

It's very good place I travel alone so I quiet night sleep top of my list.Its great position in the city handy for marina city centre, the only thing I didn't like was the shower over the bath.Now I explain as an arthritic over 70 I can't stand on one leg to climb over the bath tub as I would fall over so some grab rails would have helped, I know someone will tut tut but slipping up on wet tiles and spending the night on the wet floor, I said earlier I travel alone.Apart from that excellent place to stay and the staff very friendly so three wupps wup wup wup

The hotel's tagline written everywhere is "just what you need" and that about sums it up - basic place, nothing more, nothing less. Great location by the old town. The first room was small and the A/C was very loud, I mentioned it to the concierge and he immediately gave me a new room (that was a bit bigger too which was nice). This type of quick customer-focused decision making by staff is not something you see all the time in hotels. Clean place, not new or deluxe. Wouldn't want to spend tons of time here, but perfect for a night.

Very good hotel in central Faro.Im less able to walk a long way after my accident, so this was great I didn't bring my walking frame just my walking stick and as the hotel is on the prescient a steady walk was okay.the city centre is lovely open until 9-10 pm lots of designers shopping.The out of town shopping centre forum Algarve as emptied the town as it always does.One of my favourites cafés 100 small sandwich yes building yourself a lunch/dinner.Its tapas with 100mm baguette various sausages chicken and chocolate Bueno Yee HAA wupwup

We booked our hotel through Love Holiday and we stayed for 3 nights. We received a lovely welcome from staff on arrival and were quickly checked in. The room was on the fifth floor with its own terrace. The bed was extremely comfortable and a king size. Plenty of pillows. The bathroom had a large warm shower with toiletries and hairdryer available. There were coffee and tea making facilities There was air conditioning in the room. Breakfast was excellent with a fantastic selection of hot and cold food buffet style. The hotel is ideally located for all attractions Faro has to offer

Staff were welcoming and helpful. Room was clean, comfortable and had lovely cool air con. Pool area was great! Lots of sunbeds and a lovely big deep pool. I liked the tree area too for relaxing. Buffet breakfast with lots of options. Good daytime menu. We mostly ate out in the evening but the evening menu was ok. People have commented on how it’s a bit dated I liked the style of it. And everything was clean and tidy Free Shuttle bus to the beach and back multiple times a day Really fast reliable internet!

excellent clean big room, property was spotless, pool was lovely and clean - could do with cutting the tops of some of the trees to ensure sunshine a the pool all day

The pool. The quietness at night-time. The lovely trees around the pool.

From the booking in day to the departure day all the staff were excellent and very helpful. The family size room was spacious and clean, the swimming pool was superb even though the water temperature was cold, the pool was not advertised as "Heated" and therefore it was what I expected during October. The menu was a little limited on occasions and repeated on some days, the food however was always well presented and for a three-star hotel, was most acceptable.

For the price this was good value, standard villa with air conditioning throughout. Two good sized rooms meant that we were not cramped up with the kids (5 and 7 yrs) in the same room during the evening, main bathroom very dated which was the biggest let down but you get what you pay for I guess. The outside area also needs a little TLC as it is a little rough around the edges but it certainly does not define Prado Villas in my opinion. Isabelle at the reception was a pleasure to deal with and made us feel really welcome during our stay The villa complex was quiet during most of our stay and there was only around 4 people in the large pool at any one time my, children loved this as they had the pool to them selves. We were also able to use the pool facilities at the nearby Prado do Golf which also has a bar which was ok for lunch with the kids. The Prado Villa complex is quite a walk from the marina area, ok for me and my wife but too much for the kids fortunately I had hired a car and was able to drive close to the marine area when needed. Vilamoura is a wonderful town with some lovely restaurants and great beaches. I personally did not find anything too expensive, certainly no more than in the UK. If you are looking for civilized accommodation and town then this may be the place for you. If all you want is super cheap swill and loads of uncouth Brits then look elsewhere. All in all I would definitely visit Prado Villas again and I am not the easiest person to please!

Staff very friendly. There are only about 15 or so villas in this complex that has a pool and a bar/bistro. There is a shop and a nice restaurant only a walk away. Its a quite area and feels safe. This is our second time here and more than likely book here again. There is no problem hanging by the pool all day if you are waitibg for later flight as we were. We changed in the spotless bar before transfers arrived. Happy days!

excellent value for money, loverly gardens with pool, we were there in early october, the weather was great and hardly anyone around the pool, a car is a must. Villa was clean and spacious, everyone very friendly.

Lovely place for a quiet holiday with pool lots of sunbeds and very reasonably priced snack bar. It had breakfast and a bigger lunch menu for everyone but it closed one day and the young lads who looked after it were a credit. Villa had everything you need but bring a few washing/ dishwasher capsules. Spotlessly clean. Great WiFi throughout. We arrived early and luckily our villa was available. The lady who runs it was very helpful. Kids loved the pool and it wasn't busy anytime. Aircon in 3 rooms was a lifeline as it was very warm.

Although some of the fixtures and fittings are a little worn this is reflected in the price, the villa was spotlessly clean and very well equipped although you may want to bring soap, flannel and a hairdryer. This holiday accommodation is for people who enjoy peace and quiet and enjoy entertaining themselves. Reception is open during office hours, if you arrive after it closes your instructions will be in an envelope on the door. There is a supermarket a couple of minutes drive away where you can pick up drinks and snacks to enjoy by the large pool which is surrounded by well kept gardens. A family of friendly black cats visited us daily and brought us luck in the casino at villamoura! The casino is open from 3pm no membership required and no dress code, plenty of 1c, 2c, 5, and 10c slots including cleopatra, white orchid and many british favourites. This is an ideal place for a relaxing out of season break and electric fires are provided for the cooler evenings.

247 reception was amazing , snacks and fresh drinks always available. Soap and shampoo in rooms provided and smelt amazing The beds were super comfy and the rooms were spotless Decent view of faro out of the window . The sunset in the morning was great . Perfect cool air conditioning in the rooms . If I was ever staying in faro again I would 100% use Alnacir.

The hotel is great, the staff very nice. There is private parking, but we always found a free parking spot on the street in front of the hotel. The breakfast is good as well for the price. Faro Old town and Marina are very close, in a walking distance. There is a great restaurant nearby called "Chefe Branco".

Such an amazing location, just a few minutes to get to old town and close to shopping centre too and beach. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Solo female traveller and always felt safe around the area and coming back late. Bedroom was old but spotless, so good for the price!

The staff were very helpful. We arrived late after midnight. Fortunately, the bar stayed open until 1 am. And the staff served drinks and helped organise an Uber delivery. We have stayed in the Alnacir before and were pleased to observe the same excellent standard.

Hotel Alnacir is clean, well maintained and has friendly staff. The breakfast is good and it is excellent value for money all around. Also it is only a very short walk away from the marina/centre of Faro.

We loved our stay in the Atismar hotel and surrounding area.

Friendly Staff and very accommodating. The location is Excellent. The food was always fresh, very tasty with lots of variety and nice traditional dishes. The staff from the reception, cleaners and bar have all been very friendly and helpful. I will deftly return.

The attention and kindness of the staff, the attention of Mr. Luis at reception, the food was very good and varied for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and it has a variety of drinks. The location is excellent, close to beaches and restaurants.

We had a great few days at Ria Park. We had a family room which was two large bedrooms with an interconnecting door. They were smart, clean and there was ample space for the 4 of us! We absolutely loved the large pool area surrounded by palm trees and the kids enjoyed the smaller kiddie pool while we watched them from the sun beds. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially the team round the pool! Can vouch the cocktails and lunch bits are yummy and the breakfast bits are amazing!! The outside seating area for breakfast was beautiful and there was so much choice we couldn't try it all, although we tried - the bubbly is a nice touch as well. The local area, goes without saying is a bit special with endless restaurants and beaches to try. And the uber service is cheap, easy and quick way to get around, think it was roughly £20 from the airport! We had such a good time we are coming back for a few nights in August. Thank you for a lovely holiday :-)

Checked in to ria park as a last minute booking following a nightmare end of our holiday (in a local apartment) where my youngest son and I were unable to go home as planned with the rest of our family. We had stayed a night before we arrived at Ria park in another local 5 star hotel and had a terrible experience there. From the moment we walked in to the ria park we were made to feel so safe and welcome. The room we were given was perfect, we ordered room service and it was absolutely fantastic. The hotel is so clean. We received a lovely welcome tray with some treats for my son and fresh fruit and waters. The air con was perfect, great tea and coffee facilities. Maid service so efficient. We didn’t have a chance to use the pool but was clean and lovely, lots of loungers available. We were able to get a late check out which I was extremely grateful for after a difficult week and an evening flight. Breakfast was brilliant, lots of offer and we ate lunch at the pool bar. Brilliant selection, I was particularly impressed as I was able to get a vegetarian soja bolognaise. It’s in a great location for lovely restaurants and days out. I’m so pleased we stumbled across this hotel and will be booking to stay here next year. A special mention to Marta on reception. The was just the most kind and lovely person. So helpful. Thank you!

We really enjoyed Ria Park. The hotel and its grounds were attractive, well presented and lushly landscaped. The rooms were spotlessly clean. Breakfast buffet, as mentioned in many other reviews, was substantial, nicely presented, offered great variety and was delicious. Service at breakfast was very efficient and friendly too. We particularly enjoyed the pool which was clean, lovely, surrounded by lush planting and was actually long enough in one section for lap swimming (an added bonus for a swimmer!). As it was still the shoulder season, the pool was not over-run with young children so a nice balance between adults and young families. The only suggestion I might make - and it's a minor one - is that when the hotel is not fully booked, and there is availability of superior rooms, guests could be offered upgrades when available. I've travelled a lot and this is a common practice in some countries - it doesn't really cost the hotel anything and it makes the customer feel like a VIP and might just make them feel even more positive feelings about the hotel experience and more likely to return. Just an idea, particularly for quieter time periods. This hotel is also very close to the Vale Do Lobo tennis valley so handy for tennis players and is a short 10 min. walk (or an even shorter drive; though beach parking in peak season could be pretty tricky) to the beach and good beach restaurants.

Only stayed for a short break. The rooms are spacious and are cleaned daily. The beds are probably the most comfortable you’ll ever sleep in. The pool area is lovely with plenty of sun beds close to the pool or in a shaded garden area. There is one thing you notice around this hotel is the wonderful smell, probably from the complimentary Molten Brown toiletries. The from reception to the housekeepers the staff are friendly and helpful. A lovely place to stay but a little on the expensive side.

Overall a very nice stay in a classic contemporary hotel. Rooms very nice & spent a lovely few hours by the pool which was well maintained with comfortable beds & quality towels. Restaurant by pool was also a treat with white linen & experienced waiters. Piano being played in reception was an added feature.
