The rooftop was great with fab views of the harbour and breakfast was good. The room was basic but comfortable. The pool is quite small and can get a little overcrowded. Excellent spot for visiting Faro. Don’t miss the boat trip on the Ria Formosa. Really worth visiting .

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would recommend it to anyone visiting Faro. Roof terrace is very nice and we were even able to get a sun lounger. Would have liked some shade though, umbrellas please. Had lunch and it was good. Room was spacious, bed comfortable, good sized bathroom and decent shower. Also it’s in a very good location.

We came into Portugal after many hours of travel and our accommodations were the most comfortable nights sleep, the bed and the pillows. We did the breakfast the next morning, and it was exceptional, something for everyone. We also visited the bar in the evening for a drink and had wonderful service, helpful recommendations, and great options.
