"Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms, facilities and restaurants are super clean and comfortable. Lovely atmosphere--This hotel is Oasis in oldtown Faro. We had a great time, thank you! "

"Rooms were enormous, beautiful, comfortable. Fabulous with families. One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in for a long time. Great variety at breakfast and staff all went above and beyond. "

"Rooms were very clean and spacious. Not overly busy (which we preferred). Close to the beautiful beach. Staff were always friendly and accommodating. Would love to go back. "

"Spacious, clean, well equipped and top condition. Our apartment (essentially part of a large villa) was perfect for a week away with a 5 month old. We thought we had to much room but it made the trip so much easier to spread out and not be confined to a hotel room or suite. The finish of the villa was fantastic, kitchen and appliances made it a smooth trip with baby. Plus a private patio and pool was perfect for relaxing there - the resort was walkable (20 mins on average to restaurants and beaches) which was perfect for us as we like to explore by foot and not drive. Use of the facilities was always seamless and guest card discounts were handy. However, when we did use the shuttle it was easy and prompt. Would recommend and will stay again next year! "

"Where the hotel was situated, great view from the top of the hotel and the staff was excellent. "

"We enjoyed our 3-night stay at the resort. The check-in was seamless and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend renting a vehicle, as the resort is quite aways from dining (other than resort options). Parking in the outside parking lot was free, as well as street parking. Parking underground was 12 euros per night. In October, we had no trouble finding a spot outside. The room was in the smaller side, but neat, clean and comfortable. Yes, there were a few ants in the bathroom, but it was understandable given the somewhat remote location close to nature. I would recommend bringing insect repellant, even in October, if you plan to eat outside in the evenings. The breakfasts were pretty good, with lots of options. We had the dinner buffet the first night for 29 euros per person - but for every other lunch and dinner, we went into Tavira or Faro. There were much better options with 4.8/5.0 reviews on google that were tastier and less expensive. If you have a choice, eat outside the resort. That being said, we would definitely stay here again. We did the yoga and the paddle boarding and enjoyed both activities. The yoga was very basic and certainly no comparison to yoga in any major North American city, but the beach was lovely. The paddleboards were the inflatable kind but I got the opportunity to work on my balance and their drag made sure I got a workout in. The resort is comparable to a 4.5 star resort in Mexico."

"Lovely selection of food. Very well presented. Very clean and efficient staff. Clean room although some items were missed."

"We have stayed here many times. It is a lovely hotel. This stay lived up to and even exceeded expectations. Everything was first class. The welcome when we arrived, the staff at the dado pool and at breakfast were all very friendly and professional. We have been here twice this year and can’t wait to return again in the spring."

"Good modern hotel. Breakfast plenty of well stocked options. Rooms are a good size and modern and comfortable beds. Roof top with pool is a lovely space. Sunbeds at a premium at times but usually find one if you hang about. Staff very friendly and responsive prior to and during our stay ."
