Hotels With Pools in Faro District, Portugal

This hotel is outdated and doesn't deserve its 5-star rating; it's more like a 2 or 3-star property. We stayed for 2 nights and didn't have any hot water, so we had to take cold showers in winter at a supposedly 5-star hotel! I mentioned this at the reception to request a commercial gesture, but the manager wasn't there. I left my number, and so far, no one has contacted me! The breakfast was decent enough, and the beach view was absolutely lovely. When I made my reservation, I requested an upstairs room, but we were given a ground-floor room. I'm disappointed with this stay and wouldn't recommend it.

The hotel has a swimming pool, but the grass separating the swimming pool is full of mosquitoes and bugs. The temperature of the swimming pool is still quite cold in mid-March, which is not suitable for swimming. The hotel is located opposite the beach, so it is 25 minutes away from the city center. It is quite dark when walking back to the hotel at night, which feels a little dangerous. The room is large, with a good sense of space, a terrace and enough storage space, just like the pictures. The only drawback is that there is no hair dryer. If you go to the reception to pick it up long before the daily check-in time, it will have been rented out. The room has a kitchen with enough kitchenware, but you need to clean it yourself. Otherwise, you need to pay the cleaning fee in advance at the reception.

Once called the Alvor Luna Bay when bedrooms seemed larger!!! Renamed and reshaped. Swishly refurbed as new. Now the main problem is the lack of storage in what seem smaller bedrooms despite voluminous balconies. Simply, storage is inadequate for two guests for longer than a week, maximum. Let me describe............ a small [4feet tall?] open metal wardrobe rail with five fixed point clothes hangers. Four or five open shelves beside this rail., one occupied by the rooms safe. In all other respects its fine. The staff good and plentiful and helpful. The location the best in town!

Just managed to book this for 1 day for my birthday weekendfor myself and my daughter and wished I had booked it for the entire duration of my 6 day stay in Portugal. Clean, peaceful, pool was crystal clear, staff were friendly. d I somehow managed to get it for a very competitive price, not the usual rate. Guess it was birthday luck 😎 Please refer to some pics🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Great location with a very nice hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the fire door at the downstairs corridor entry which bang during the night. Otherwise this hotel is perfect. Breakfast was also great with a fine choice.

Overall it is a solid 4.5 star hotel and experience. The location is unbeatable, with breath-taking beach and sea view just off the front desk, as well as our beach room. The beach room is highly recommended for someone into the ocean view. The facility and staff are great. The Mercado even sells medicine (we got Gasvicon) which my wife could use the day we were there. The only downside that makes it not a full 5 star is that the room, decoration, and furniture are a bit outdated.

The rooms were small and poorly cleaned. We even had to change rooms because of dirt on the curtains, and we found hair on the bed and pillows. Towels were consistently missing, a problem we observed multiple times. The pool restrooms were always heavily soiled with urine. The food was good, and the experience at both restaurants was incredible. The pool temperature was great, but it was off-putting to see it full of hair. Mosquitoes were also a major issue; even with repellent, they were relentless.

At best its a 4star property. During our stay hotel wasnt at its best, so ill put 3.5 stars. Hotel entrance looks like a train station waiting room. For a moment we thought that we are underground as its dark everywhere inside the hotel. Toilets were smelly on the entrance ground, Windows were cleaned on Christmas last year i think. Dirty floors. Rooms are dingy, but spacious.. Lots of cupboard space. you cant use the mirrors in bath area as its too dark. Water in Toilet bowl keeps on going unless you fiddle with the push buttons. TV Remote was filthy. Towels are from the 10th century, use with care! Toiletries are basic brands, nothing oo la la! Breakfast is good, not excellent. Theres a live station for omelettes and pancakes. Coffee from nescafe machines with pods, again not very 5 star standard. Stay here if you have a good price deal but not high expectations. DO NOT EXPECT 5 STAR SERVICE! You have been warned.

Hotel has great facilities and was very clean, though we were disappointed to realise that due to unsafe cliffs, it no longer offered direct access to the beach. Service should really be improved for such an expensive hotel: 1. Reception gave us 2 twin beds even though we specifically made a request at booking for double bed 2. Restaurants got my coffee orders wrong on multiple occasions throughout the stay 3. During the saturday bbq night, the hostess Priscilla made up a poor excuse not to give us a poolside table even though we were one of the earliest guests there. Her excuse was the remaining poolside tables were reserved for 4 families with dogs. We didn't see a single dog during the entire course of 2 hours, and the tables were given away to other couples for reasons unknown. This incident really upset us, and the fact that she had the audacity to make up such an excuse is appalling. 4. Gratuity was charged at 7.5% for every item, which is fine but what left a bad taste in the mouth is the hotel did it without informing customers upfront.

A spectacular place to unwind, surrounded by nature. Well-maintained facilities. Large and very comfortable apartments. It has a spa. Friendly and helpful staff.
