I would rate this hotel as Very Good, but it is not a 5 star property - more like 3.5-4 stars. We stayed in the villas which were clean and spacious with good facilities (kitchenette, cooking utensils etc) but tired and needed refreshing (i.e curtains with torn lining, varnish worn through on chairs and table, rusted clothes rack etc). The staff were largely lovely however encountered a few who were quite rude unnecessarily (Atlantico Restaurant manager completely ignored my mum patiently waiting to be seated and then when we tried to get his attention he barked at us that we needed a reservation - we had just arrived. Also, an employee dropping off room service aggressively said "you don't need to see the receipt, what did it say when you ordered" when I asked the cost of the items... after we had waited 1.5 hours for a chocolate mousse and english breakfast tea. In a true 5 star hotel, for that level of service, the items would have been gratis with an apology). Shoutout to Marco, Victor and Nicholas who were lovely and made up for it. Also, free transport to the old and new town was brilliant and much appreciated! Coach driver was ace! We really enjoyed the location and beaches and will return but with clearer expectations.

What a view!!!!

We booked a comfort double sea view room and were ever glad we did! What a view. The room was renovated and looked beautiful. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom did not get renovated and was dated. It really didn’t go with the room but the view solved any doubts we had. The breakfast was excellent. Location was phenomenal and did I mention the view? We used Bolt to get to around in addition to walking You definitely stay here again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Was looking for good resorts near al bufeira but didn’t want to spend too much money on cause I didn’t had much time to enjoy resort but area, when I found this hotel which offers 2 bed rooms suite with unbelievable price tag immediately I booked. It worked out very well checked in mid night didn’t took long when we get to our villa it was three bedrooms which was too big for us, with kitchen and stuff free water bottles and some fruits which was nice, huge resort they do offer buffet breakfast I think 20euro pp. didn’t get much time to enjoy resort as we had only two nights stay but if I m back in beautiful faro then def gonna stay here beach front was good free parking indoor outdoor.
