"From reception to housekeeping, the staff were excellent every time we had an interaction. The hotel was conveniently in the center of all the activity in Faro and the rooms were clean and well-kept. Some parts of the room appeared as if they needed some upgrading, but overall the entire stay was lovely. The breakfast buffet was excellent as were the steak restaurant and the roof top bar. Would definitely recommend this hotel."

"This was a beautiful property with an amazing view. The staff was warm and welcoming. We ended up eating a couple dinners at the hotel and they were great! The hotel is a bit of a walk to town, but not too bad. If you wanted you could just stay and relax at the resort, but don't miss the beach area in Carvoeiro. "

"We are regulars 2x year spring autumn and as usual we got a warm welcome from friendly professional staff -really nice room excellent view over pool and property generally uninterrupted as far as sea !sunny balcony from quite early in morning until afternoon -Atlantico breakfast buffet again outstanding and very well managed leading to efficient sevice . We had dinner in Adega -x2-Whale -Arte Nautica and Praia Dourada all of which were excellent in different ways -only disappointment was Giardino (sp?) where we found service a bit chaotic -lots of people but not many doing much !Menu is actually quite limited -I had excellent vitello tonnato and pasta amatriciana -but very slow -which seemed to be a common experience from where we were sitting -my wife was disappointed in her pizza margarita -quite thick crust but not really crispy -which was odd as she had excellent pizza from Whale earlier in the week -as food seems to come out of same kitchen difficult to understand ! We used Garden Terrace for lunch -Rita was excellent -she managed to get Falaffel salad reinstated for my wife after it had been removed in menu changes from last few times !She is a gem ! We also had lunch a number of times on Terrace -its a familiar team now and very reliable for both food and service -Sam and his colleagues continue to provide an oustanding experience for both pre post dinnner drinks Finally the hotel did a great job in managing the power outage that occurred -thoroughly professional !"
