Pros:

Zimmer war groß, gute Dusche und gutes Bett. Toll war ein Steamer auf dem Zimmer. Es gab ein sehr großes Frühstücksbuffet von guter Qualität. Die Dachterrasse ist auch schön. Personal war professionell nett.

Cons:

Lage direkt an einer Hauptstraße, wo es abends sehr laut war. Auf der anderen Seite eine Baustelle. Betten etwas weich.

Pros:

Breakfast was amazing…. One morning we didn’t get there until after 10am and the selection was still of very high quality and choice
Location was absolutely perfect for everything in and around Faro

Cons:

The pool was very disappointing… broken mosaic tiles on the steps leading up to the pool… tiles sunken and wet cement visible… very unattractive and not nice for a hotel at around £200 per night
