We could not fault the hotel, staff, or standards, all were fantastic. The only thing to consider is the location as it is too far from town to walk and limited footpaths on busy roads for safe walking. Need a taxi every time you leave the hotel. Even then, taxi services were amazing with great restaurant recommendations and prompt service

Absolutely loved our stay – felt like a second home! Everything was spotless, cozy, and welcoming—truly no complaints. From the moment we arrived, it just felt right. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, which was the perfect way to kick off the holiday after a flight. We’d asked for a couple of extra duvets since we're used to sleeping under separate ones—didn’t end up needing them, but the staff handled the request quickly and without fuss. Special shoutout to Filipe—what a legend! From the first moment, he showed us around and instantly felt more like a friend than a hotel staff member. He went above and beyond, even making us personalized lists of restaurants and places to check out. We didn’t make it to all of them, so we’re already saving some spots for next time. Hope to see him again on our next visit! The room had everything: bathrobes, slippers, ironing board with iron, coffee machine, teapot, hairdryer—you name it. Our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels, and honestly, that made it feel like a 5-star experience. Nothing beats coming back to a spotless room after a long day out exploring. And the cherry on top - the hotel has the coziest rooftop ever—perfect for sipping wine, reading a book, or just soaking in the sun. Loads of comfy seating and sunbeds.

Located right next to Praia Verde, at an easily 5min walk, this hotel is a great choice for people looking for a calm and relaxing holidays. The pool area is quite reclusive, cosy, and relaxing.

The whole feel of the place, and it's huge. I didn't realize the spa center was part of the price, two jacuzzi, one sauna and a steam room (the stream room ceiling tiles were partially hanging off that was quite worrying,but fab besides this) staff he was fantastic, very helpful and accommodating, breakfast was plentiful and pretty good, I asked if they had bananas as they put oranges out and he got me one, just can't fault it, the pool is open 24 hours but not heated BUT HUGE , lovely stay

Faro has a contrast in neighborhoods.

Faro has a contrast in neighborhoods. Some parts look really rundown and others not so much. Given this city is in the Algarve region, a lot of visitors must come through, and this has given the city a bit of an edge (this observation is based only on a couple of days in Faro, during the "shoulder" travel season in Portugal).

We stayed for 6 nights which was a night or two more than required. Tavira is an interesting town and we enjoyed a Fado performance in one of the beautiful churches. It has a wide choice of good eateries and trips are available to local attractions like the island. However, we were glad we took the option of taking the train to Faro for one day and to the crossingbto Spain on a small ferry on another day. Tavira is close to Spain.The ferry port in Portugal is an attractive town as is its couterpart onthe Spanish side.

Olhao is a welcoming laid back town this time a year. Its very well kept with interesting Cubist architecture. There are many great restaurants and coffee places in all price ranges. It feels genuinely Portugese. Surrounding islands are lovely and transport is easy and very affordable. The markets are also great to visit. The salinas are beautiful with lovely diverse flora and fauna.

We love Quarteira, 20/25mins from Faro airport, beautiful beach clean & well maintained with ample beds with fixed rattan umbrellas for hire, long promenade lined on other side with lots of choices of restaurants /bars. Bus station is great with lots of local buses to wherever you would like to visit. You can walk to Villamoura Marina within 20/30mins walk but be prepared to pay double the prices for food & drink as Quarteira is very reasonably priced. Great friendly atmosphere & we have never experienced any rowdiness at all on our visits

Loule is an historic town, with many interesting areas. It's away from the coastal tourist resorts, so has a more local, authentic character. It's worth trying local restaurants, particularly for fish - suggest Angolano or O Pescador.

It’s just a lovely town, it’s not too big and you can walk your way around it, The train station is only a 15-20 minute walk to the apartments and hotels. The beach is something special, reached by a small motorboat or you can used the beach at one end which is just by the hotels or the pebble beach at the other up towards the fort. There is a long wooded board-walk which takes you from the smaller beach to the pebble beach depending on your Preferences and there are plenty of benches as you walk along. There are every kind of restaurant you can possibly want, plenty of shops and supermarkets to keep you busy. It’s easy to fly in and use the train to get there or you can drive there depending on your preferences. The Fort, once you see it you will want to stay. The fish and steak restaurants were our choice but there are Indian, Irish, and local dishes as well.

The central square and church is where most things are happening, there are plenty of benches to sit on and watch the evening unfold and plenty of very nice shops to browse in the evening. The town is bigger than you think and has 5 biggish supermarkets. The marina is the best place to see the sun go down but the white sand beach is lovely.
