There is no reception to the property at the site. It is a 5 min walk away from the property with a different name. This is a cheaper sub rental place of Hyatt group. Lot of the photos are from Hyatt hotel. No instructions on check in about where to go for check in. I was walking around the units to see the reception. No signs or anything to help you. Finally the locals helped me with it. The unit is ok. Was booked for 2 adults and 2 kids. Got one queen size bed amd no other bed. End up sleeping of sofa (not sofa bed, a proper sofa!)

Be aware of this - The property does NOT have aor conditioner or fans - It is mid sumer and we were melting. It is incredible that a 3 start "hotel/property" does not include a/c. We had most terrible 3 nights ever. Also the front desk is not open/available 24 hours as they say on their info page. Never again.

Good afternoon, thank you for your comments. We are very sorry you found the apartment warm, however fans are available upon request in reception. The reception is located in the Hotel S'Algar and is open 24 hours and there is also a phone number in case of emergency. Kind regards, Javier Ferrando Resort manager

Great being part of a larger hotel complex, but away from the crowds in our own smaller complex. We had a 180 degree view of the sea - amazing. Apartment are simple but smart enough. Location in the small town and proximity to the airport was a benefit.

DIY room preparation and terrible CS
Upon arrival just after midnight with two tired children we were kept waiting for over an hour whilst the concierge searched for our apartment keys. He eventually gave us keys for another apartment and sent us on our way. When we arrived at our apartment it was bare and only two sets of bedding, the sash window was broken in the open position so the room was boiling, dirty plates and cutlery were in the sink and the bin was full of refuse. When I went back to the concierge to complain he told me there was nothing he could do and simply gave me two extra sets of bedding and told me to make up the other two beds. For £140 for one night this was disgraceful quality and service, I went back to complain on departure and was the manager was busy, but would call me.... he never did. Avoid this place like the plague.

Appartment with Sea View
Apartment in perfect location that offered the best of both worlds. Sea views with peace and quiet but use of all facilities in complex if more activities required. Apartment clean and basic but adequate. Housekeepers in daily to clean and change linen and towels. All complex staff from reception, restaurant and cleaners helpful and friendly helped create a perfect chilled break. Although there is no sandy beach within close proximity there is plenty of places to soak up the sea air and dip in the numerous pools. Wouldn't hestitate to go back.

Lovely setting
we had an apartment with sea view. they are a bit run down bathroom had a very poor paint job as if it was just a quick cover up. the kitchenette had a gas hob, microwave but no kettle or oven. would be difficult to really self cater in here. they advertise tv with satellite channels, they are correct but only two are british channels both news based programmes. this however is common in most hotels it seems. the pool just outside the patio doors very nice but a bit cold.

Amazing location by the sea. Great views from our apt. Relatively basic apts but views made up for it. Nice pool. Shame the Pool bar was closed. This was not clear from the booking info but not the end of the world. Supermarket very close by. V v v hot at night. No air con or fan which is a big disappointment in mid summer! Realised check in isn't at these apts but at nearby hotel ( not told this in advance!!). All round nice stay for 2 nights.

Adequate but sofa beds not suitable for big kids
We only stayed for one night thankfully. There is no aircon or fans and the rooms do not get any natural through draught. So it is hot. Check-in process is poor - you have to get your key from the Hotel Salgar which is half a mile away and no directions are given. The staff once there though were lovely. The rooms are basic but functional. The sofa beds are not suitable for anyone over the age of 10 in my opinion and are not comfortable. Main beds are fine. You have access to all the PortBleu facilities in town which is great (but we did not use them other than the on-site pool which was great).

Menorcan Treasure
We visited in July 2017 for 3 nights with our 2 teenage girls.Great check in by the very helpful staff although a bit confusing to find in the dark, as reception was a good walk from our apartment and had to ask directions in a bar. Apartment was clean and tidy but limited although adequate facilities which was representative of the price paid for our 3 day break. Only down side was no air conditioning as apartment did get very warm during the day and at night which made it difficult to sleep. Plenty of room and sunbeds by the pool and local beach a 15 minute walk away which was worth the walk and had a bar / restaurant at the beach. Also a good bar / restaurant enroute to break the journey if required which also served ice creams. 2 restaurants in resort pirates which we did not visit but could highly recommend the Reina Isabel which serves great food from 10am until late at reasonable prices. Live entertainment on Saturday which was also very good. There was a small coffee shop 2 minutes from the apartments near the restaurants which was great value for money and opened 8am -4pm daily serving a great selection of fresh pastries and hot and cold drinks plus local good stuff and rolls freshly made to order. The local supermarket next door offered a great selection of goods plus a tourist shop selling a wide selection of beach gods and souvenirs. A relaxing and peaceful break and a certain resort to which we will return again with all of our family. Lee - London

Great stay at VistaFaro
I was very pleased with my stay at VistaFaro, the apartment was fully furnished, it had all the amenities we needed and a nice view of the sea from the balcony. There was also a cleaner who came daily. The only thing was the showerhead and curtain needed to be replaced. The company provides free transport to local beaches and to Mao which is useful. They provide lots of great activities that I didn't know before going there such as scuba diving and kayaking.If you're staying at any PortBlue hotel you also have access to all the swimming pools, restaurants and bars of the complex and there are quite a few. It's also very easy and quite cheap to rent a car.

Ideal for those that like a quiet place to stay.
Situated at the end of the seafront, this apartment complex is ideally placed for those that like a quieter place to stay, with no passing traffic to disturb you, just the sound of the sea in the night air. The well spaced apartments sit in reasonably well kept gardens with the pool situated at the front nearest the road which terminates at the site. We've stayed here twice, and would return again without hesitation. There are only two restaurants in S'Algar itself, El Pirata and Reina Isabel... both serving reasonably priced food and drink. There is a small supermarket and a little bakery shop which also serves very nice cakes and coffees, well worth a visit at some time. The S'Algar Hotel has a large swimming pool right on the seafront a little short walk down the road which is open to the public, and serves excellent snacks and drinks during the daytime... well recommended.

Great for a Quiet Getaway!
I went for a solo getaway to disconnect and spend some quality time with my face in a book. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. There's a supermarket within a two minute walk - so excellent for grabbing groceries etc. for the week. Pool area is nice, with the pool itself clean and well maintained. The area also gets sun all day long. There was some *minor* cleanliness issues (hair etc. in the bathroom) - but nothing major (bedding etc. was clean). The only thing that I did find annoying was the lack of WiFi - there *is* WiFi at the hotel - but in my room it simply didn't work. Connectivity was only available in one bit (that I had to stand in!) and it would regularly drop.

Booked 11 nights...only stayed 6 nights.
Great stay...only downside was being forced to transfer to Las Palmeras hotel for the last 5 days of our holiday having booked 11 days at Vista Faro...definitely not an upgrade. We should have been told on booking that our full stay was not available as the hotel was "CLOSING" before the end of our stay???????????????? Other guests arriving while we were there were transferred on arrival and were not happy. Having identified this hotel as our choice on our visit to S"Algar last year, we expected to stay where we booked so were disappointed...maybe a policy of paying AFTER your stay should be adopted but that may be wishful thinking. Still a good hotel but bad customer service...pay your hard earned money and HOPE you stay where you booked

Mixed bag at Vista Faro
Booked sea view apartment and were told on arrival that we would have to take a non sea view apartment for the first night. On second day we asked when we would be relocated to be told that the cleaners had not been informed so we would have to wait until the end of their shift which could be as late as 3pm. This meant that our second day of a seven night holiday was effectively wasted. Wifi was not available until the fifth day. Microwave broke but was replaced later on the same day. However, once we were relocated the experience was much improved. Difficult to say whether we would recommend these apartments as so much depends on which one you get. Also difficult to rate staff as some were excellent whilst others were unhelpful.

Very, very noisy
Room was incredibly noisey. We had bottom floor appartment, and i genuinely thought builders were in the room above, but it was just the family up there going about their business. You could not possibly sleep past the time they got up. Noise travels through the buildings very badly. Also, there was also an old man who seems to live on the complex who sits on his balcony all day, every day whistling non stop at the top of his voice. The noise completey fills your appartment and drives you crazy. May sound like an odd complaint, but wait until you've heard it. Don't expect any peace and quiet during the day. Had to tell him to shut up several times. Nice, basic appartments, but make sure you get top floor at all costs.

Cheap, reasonable and on the sea front
Apartamentos Vista Faro is part of the S'Algar Resort which includes Hotel S'Algar and Hotel San Luis. The area feels like part of a resort rather than an original village but the area and amenities are ok. The apartment was clean and tidy if a bit basic - but fine for the price. We were in 1A and the noise from cleaners opening their laundry store was quite disturbing at 8am, though fortunately we're early starters so it wasn't a problem. There aren't any proper beaches nearby but you can get to the Hotel S'Algar waterfront in about 5mins where there are steps into the rocky sea. Alternatively there is a small but picturesque beach about 15minutes walk to the south, and a bigger beach about 1hr walk south in Ponta Prima. It's well worth getting water shoes due to the spiky rocks and a snorkel set makes watching the sea life a good way to pass time. There's a small inlet about 20mins walk to the north (Cala Rafallet possibly) where you can enjoy a fairly quiet area for snorkelling and diving. Guests have free use of some of the sport facilities at Hotel San Luis and we also hired bikes there for a day. Food facilities seem fairly limited but there is a basic supermarket in the centre of the resource and Pirates restaurant seemed to be reasonably good. Don't bother with the buffet at Hotel S'Algar - it's cheap but the food is poor. One of the desert options was Wheatabix with squirty cream and chocolate dusting on top.
