Occidental Faro - Not to be looked over
Pros:

I loved everything. We had a very lovely welcome. Check on was smooth. I was met with a suprise bottle of bubbly and macarons and personalised note which was lovely. I domt drink alcohol and they accommodated my request for a non alcoholic version. Rooms were clean, laid out nicely, everything was as expected. We were also treated to a free drink at the bar which was nice also. I wish I took the name of the young lady who was at the reception but she was exceptional. I've recommended the hotel and I would stay there again including other Occidental resorts. Amazing customer service and the location is spot on for everything you need to do in Faro.

Cons:

Nothing I was happy with my stay.
