Hotels With Gym in Faro District, Portugal

"We arrived on Monday the 11th at 3:10 p.m. We went to reception to check in. According to their website, we could access our rooms after 3:00 p.m. After waiting two hours for the keys, according to them because the pillows hadn't arrived... we checked into our room and decided to stay that afternoon by the pool. There were only 30 sun loungers around the pool for more than 60 people, forcing us to lie on the grass. The breakfast buffet was poor... repetitive every day. The Serrano ham was the same one that was left over every day; today it was green (unappetizing). The room was average, the amenities were nonexistent... just a box of tissues and a shower cap... we know there were more because our friend had cotton swabs and shoe polish. Not even a toothbrush. At 5:00 PM, the room still isn't cleaned... we ask for it to be cleaned, and it takes them over an hour to come and clean it. For a fairly average 5-star hotel... I expected more after paying €700 for 5 nights."

"The hotel is very close to the sea, there is a walkway directly to go, there is a supermarket more than one kilometer near the hotel, which can meet normal supply."

"Good amenities, excellent location. Air conditioning had some problems, only starting to work well from the second day onwards. Whenever we called reception (before and during our stay) they never answered our cell phone (approximately 15 calls). The hairdryer leaves something to be desired, as does the breakfast, with little variety."

"Overall, the stay was fine. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly. However, the air conditioner was extremely noisy, which made it difficult to sleep, and unfortunately there was also a strong smell of ********* coming from the neighboring rooms 🤢"

"Vila Real and Monte Gordo are two interesting destinations for practicing sports (running, cycling, golf, etc.) and this Hotel has the ideal characteristics for it. Location close to sports facilities, rooms prepared for a good rest and a breakfast with healthy, quality options suitable for athletes."

"Experience started badly at check-in when they refused to add my wife to the booking as Trip.com’s mobile  “deal” was for one guest in room.  Snarky reception person rude and borderline hostile - this was our third stay at this property and as in the past, we felt a subtle bias against us as non-Portuguese.  The Front Desk Manager got involved and he refused to comp. me my wife’s addition to our room and said we had to pay euros 40 for her two day’s breakfasts.  He appeared unkempt with s dirty shirt and was unshaven .  His attitude was aggressive and disrespectful in the extreme.  We asked to be relocated to a higher floor from the 2nd floor and he informed me that there were no sea view rooms on upper floors.  This was patently a lie as the initial receptionist told me that the hotel was not fully booked. While I was in discussions with the front desk receptionist, a hotel guest came up and complained that her room was bery hot.  She was told by the same snarky receptionist that the aircon was off due to a system changeover and she should open her balcony door! When I asked the same question later on to another receptionist, he said that they could give me a fan.  She was and English lady and when a Portuguese guest arrived to check/in, that dame clerk was all over him with handshakes all around.  Other staff around the property didn’t seem overly friendly to guests as well. It is unforgivable for any hotel, let alone a supposed 5 star property, not to have its HVAC system operable and even worse, not to advise guests of the issue. Our room was spacious, if a little warm, but showed the ravages of time with chipped furniture and surfaces.  Also, not too impressed by the powdered coffee presented in the room, or a euros 3 charged for a bucket of ice. I cannot recommend this property for a stay in Portimao and there are a few other more undated hotels nearby."

"Hotel in need of some renovations, you can hear the noise in the rooms, they are cold, the indoor pool is terrible, the water is cold and super small. Breakfast could be better for a 4 star hotel. The staff were very friendly."

"Muito agradável, os apartamentos podem estar um pouco desatualizados mas a limpeza supera tudo! Todos os dias entram no apartamento para fazer a manutenção. Um local calmo, sem barulho de noite, temos que nos deslocar de carro mas em Albufeira, para fugir à confusão, é o ideal. Já fomos outras vezes e havemos de voltar.😊"

"This place has polarizing reviews.. After going there, I understand why. The facilities and services are good. You can use the swimming pool, washer and dryer (performance is poor), sauna and spa for free, and although the building structure is unique (1st and 8th floor reception, 2 elevator transfers, etc.), it's okay if you get used to it. We couldn't find the way by taxi, so we climbed the hill with our suitcases, but the reception on the first floor is near the spar mart. They were friendly, but the air conditioner was broken so I called twice and they didn't come so I just gave up. This place is in the middle of the old town, so I actually made a reservation based on the location, but it's literally in the middle of the club street, so even if you're inside the accommodation, you'll be staying at the concert hall all night long. There's no soundproofing, so you have to enjoy it together until 5 a.m. The noise is another level, as foreign reviews say. I’m traveling around the world, but this place is really ambiguous haha. The breakfast isn’t bad, but it’s just ambiguous… . Personally, I think it would be less noisy and better if it wasn't just in this alley because it's Albupay!!"

"Spotlessly clean hotel with extremely welcoming staff. Swimming pools were a bit cold but that’s the only downside. Breakfast selection was very comprehensive. It’s a slight downhill walk into town so prepare for an uphill walk back. 2nd time here and will definitely be back."
