Exceptional 🤩
Pros:

Everything….accommodation, professional friendly staff, pool, terrace, restaurant etc. I could go on. We were celebrating our anniversary and they left a lovely treat in our room and also we checked in at noon as our room was ready so we got to benefit the wonderful facilities for longer.

Cons:

Maybe not enough sun loungers but can’t fault anything else.

Pros:

This is a lovely new hotel which exceeded our expectations. The bed was super comfy which we were well and truly ready for. The location is good, very close to the airport and amongst the restaurants. We had a very nice stay in Faro.

Cons:

The guy on the check in desk was really quite rude and this area needs improvement.

Excellent hotel with stunning views
Pros:

The roof top bar was amazing with stunning views across the lagoon. The choice at breakfast was superb with attentive staff always ready to help. The room (and bathroom) was large, well furnished and the gift of a water bottle (and complimentary free water in the fridge) was much appreciated.

Cons:

There could have been a ramp at the entrance of the hotel to aid with suitcases.
