Hotels With Spa in Faro District, Portugal

This hotel is outdated and doesn't deserve its 5-star rating; it's more like a 2 or 3-star property. We stayed for 2 nights and didn't have any hot water, so we had to take cold showers in winter at a supposedly 5-star hotel! I mentioned this at the reception to request a commercial gesture, but the manager wasn't there. I left my number, and so far, no one has contacted me! The breakfast was decent enough, and the beach view was absolutely lovely. When I made my reservation, I requested an upstairs room, but we were given a ground-floor room. I'm disappointed with this stay and wouldn't recommend it.

Hotel has great facilities and was very clean, though we were disappointed to realise that due to unsafe cliffs, it no longer offered direct access to the beach. Service should really be improved for such an expensive hotel: 1. Reception gave us 2 twin beds even though we specifically made a request at booking for double bed 2. Restaurants got my coffee orders wrong on multiple occasions throughout the stay 3. During the saturday bbq night, the hostess Priscilla made up a poor excuse not to give us a poolside table even though we were one of the earliest guests there. Her excuse was the remaining poolside tables were reserved for 4 families with dogs. We didn't see a single dog during the entire course of 2 hours, and the tables were given away to other couples for reasons unknown. This incident really upset us, and the fact that she had the audacity to make up such an excuse is appalling. 4. Gratuity was charged at 7.5% for every item, which is fine but what left a bad taste in the mouth is the hotel did it without informing customers upfront.

The hotel was located really conveniently near Old Town, the bus station, and the beaches. We booked a room with 2 beds as listed by Trip but were given a room with only 1 bed and the front desk said it was actually based on availability, but there was no mention of this on Trip. If you have specific requests regarding number of beds make sure to write it in your special requests. Thankfully they were able to accommodate our request in the end. The pool is nice but I wouldn't recommend ordering food by the pool, overpriced for what you receive - the drinks were fine though. Otherwise the stay was good and no issues!

Overall it is a solid 4.5 star hotel and experience. The location is unbeatable, with breath-taking beach and sea view just off the front desk, as well as our beach room. The beach room is highly recommended for someone into the ocean view. The facility and staff are great. The Mercado even sells medicine (we got Gasvicon) which my wife could use the day we were there. The only downside that makes it not a full 5 star is that the room, decoration, and furniture are a bit outdated.

Former Porta Nova Hotel since 2017 completely remodeled. Free breakfast, free Sauna and Turkish bath, free indoor and outdoor pool makes this place a bargain if you can get reasonable rates (65€ we paid per night). Buffet dinner 29€/Person + drinks is overpriced (local restaurant dinner incl. drinks is 15-20€/Person) Breakfast buffet has huge selection, made to order eggs and stuff is a real plus. Parking (still) free (incl. the roadside). Very nice personell all over - high recommened for Tavira! I recomend ”Restraurante O Simao” in residential area

Hygiene: Hygiene needs improvement; we encountered insects in the room. The restaurant, perhaps due to its seaside location, was left open, resulting in flies buzzing around. Environment: However, the hotel is very convenient, as it's only 50 meters from the kayaking area's starting point. We booked an apartment-style room with two bedrooms. Scenery: The view shown in Figure 1 is easily accessible from the hotel on the walk to the kayaking area. Figure 2 shows the view from the hotel restaurant, offering a direct view of the Atlantic Ocean.

A beautiful hotel surrounded by magnificent gardens. We'd barely arrived when something unimaginable happened: a blackout on the Iberian Peninsula. The hotel managers responded in an exemplary manner: they provided information, provided everyone with a water bottle, and served cold meals and free grilled dishes in the restaurant in the evenings. The emergency generator also ran for a few hours. So, despite the uncertainty, we felt well looked after. Enjoying the sun by the beautiful pool area is also nothing to be sniffed at. The breakfast buffet was varied, including a good selection for vegans and vegetarians. We really enjoyed, among other things, the delicious, sweet fruit.

Very nice luxury hotel close to a beautiful golf course. It has large modern rooms multiple very nice pools set in a very beautiful tropical garden environment. Very well meet up. 3-5 minutes to the marina and beach by Taxi/Uber or just take the hotel shuttle. Would be great if they could add some soy noodles and spring rolls to their very good western breakfast.

Absolutely stunning experience! We stayed for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. The hotel facilities are superb, beach and views and breathtaking. If you go on a left from the beach there is a wonderful easy hike with spectacular views, approximately 30 mins one way. Lots of even more stunning nature within 15-20 mins drive from the hotel. We will definitely be back! ＜3

We booked a resort view with a balcony got a ground floor with decking. The bedroom was a bit strange, the bathroom had a glass wall at the shower with a curtain in the bedroom covering it????? Cleaning of the room daily was very late could be as late as 3 or 4 pm in the day. We booked all inclusive, the food was amazing and there was always seemed to be food available. Buffet dinner was the best option. The drink selection was varied and non stop, all bars closed by 12 pm. Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. Rooftop bar, pool bar and restaurant staff were friendly, but found a few of the staff in the main bar were unfriendly. I would fully recommend this hotel and are thinking of booking it again for next year.
