Outdated and not worth 4 star
Pros:

The garden was beautiful, the staff were also nice and smiling . The pool was also good

Cons:

The hotel did not meet expectations for a four-star property.
• Breakfast had very little variety and the eggs were always cold.
• Dinner was overpriced with small portions.
• Bedsheets were not changed regularly during our 10-day stay, and the beds were uncomfortable.
• The hotel feels old and in need of renovation.
• Pool area lacked services (no food or drinks available).
• Location is quite secluded, with everything around closing early (around 9 PM).
• The atmosphere is more suited for elderly guests or families—definitely not ideal for young people or couples looking for a lively, fun experience.
• Overall, very expensive for the quality of services and facilities provided.
• if you want to go to the city you will need a taxi or walk by door for 25 minutes

Excellent staff, beautiful hotel, fantastic place to relax!!
Pros:

Everything and everyone! This is the best place we stayed in Portugal! Close to the beach - a short walk down a private path through lovely garden and orchards. Not in the mess of hotels downtown but just a short drive there. Great restaurants within walking distance including a couple on the beach! The staff could not have been nicer and more helpful! Fantastic experience!

Heerlijke vakantie
Pros:

Goed te vinden hotel. Gratis parkeren, meestal genoeg plaats.
Super ontvangen door gastheer/baliemedewerker/barman. Heeft veel bezienswaardigheden uitgelegd incl. Fijne restaurants.
Prachtig uitzicht vanaf de kamer op de hoogste verdieping, uitkijkend over het zwembad, de tuin, de heuvels en baai.
Alle kamers kijken dezelfde kant op, benedenverdieping ziet alleen de tuin.
Toegang tot kamer met normale sleutel (1 sleutel verkrijgbaar, welke je bij de balie kunt afgeven voor je een dagje weg gaat)
Mooie ontbijtzaal, waar ook gedineerd kan worden als je het een dag vantevoren aangeeft.
(Wij hebben veel gedineerd bij de Indian pizza restaurant tegenover het hotel op loopafstand)
Kamer goed verzorgd, elke dag schoongemaakt.

Cons:

Op loopafstand niet veel te vinden qua restaurants of bars. Afstand te lopen naar het strand is best een eind, ookal kun je door de tuin van het hotel heen.
Snacks bij het zwembad zijn een hele lunch of niets. Zwembad is prima, rustig. Geen muziek, geen vermaak.
Douchen in de badkuip kan een uitdaging zijn voor minder mobiele mensen.

Will definitely be coming back to Ferragudo….Will be staying elsewhere for our next trip
Pros:

The grounds were beautiful and the beach was stunning and perfect. The Staff were very friendly and inviting. The location was great and fantastic views form our balcony.

Cons:

Being in Portugal, in the Algarve - you should spend more time out and about then in your room.
But when you are in your room - it should be a compliment to your outside adventures of the day.
Sadly this was not the case. The bed was awful - like a slab of granite. The pillows were way past their replacement date, the one chair felt like a torture device. The Split AC unit needs to be replaced. When it was on, it would ramp up like a jet engine every hour for about 5 minutes…so between the AC and the granite slab bed - not a decent night of sleep was had in 8 nights. The quality of the food - very below what we experienced in the rest of the dining experiences we had for the duration of our stay.
Breakfast is okay - nothing too bad about it - but certainly go outside the hotel for dinner.
Overall - the place has a weird “Hotel California” vibe to it…and it’s very outdated…maybe no longer should be considered a 4 star hotel on this site?
Unfortunately the well kept grounds and the beach couldn’t make up for the property’s shortcomings
