Faro Hotels with Pools

„Not my first time in Faro but chose this hotel for the rooms with balcony marina view. The hotel has a rich history and has been around since 1960s and its undergoing refurbishments in some areas. The old rooms look dated and could do with better cleaning as previous occupant’s hair was found in the bathroom. We loved the design & aesthetic looks of the new refurbished areas such as the spa, bathrooms, gym, pool & sauna but shame that there was a water leak in the indoor pool ceiling and rusty bits on the stainless steel railings. Considering it’s completed in Aug 2025, the hotel may need to do more due diligence to ensure the safety of guests. As a non Portuguese speaker, I felt that the check-in staff can make more efforts in being warm and welcoming. I noticed that this hotel is one of the few hotels ive been that check-in staffs are seated instead of standing, making the process somehow casual & less welcoming. I also called in to make a request for a late check out and received a hostile response by a lady who said ‘No. We need the room back’. We just got married the day before arriving & we are here to also celebrate my honeymoon & partner’s birthday. Weeks prior to arriving, I put in a request if the hotel could do a birthday special for him but this was not acknowledged. As an avid traveller who has stayed in many hotels around the world, I am a little dissapointed with the lack of personalised attentive service provided by the hotel. If the view & location isn’t a concern, I recommend the nearby 3HB hotel. We enjoyed our stay there. AP Eva senses have a great deal of potential, but they may be complacent at going beyond, as they are currently the only hotel at Faro marina. Additional employees like the elder gentleman pianist & hotel hairdresser were the warmest I’ve come across.”

„Hotel is in excellent location, in city centre. Outdoor hotel pool is small but the indoor pool with spa facilities is very nice. Breakfast is average with not a very wide spread. Staff service is good.”

„I have to say the A/C need to be sorting out. On a hot day/night the air conditioning is not good enough. No Google pay available for payments in the hotel. I like this place because it is close to the airport. Walking distance to it.”

„The hotel was very clean, staff very welcoming and allowed us to check in way before time. It’s close to the airport as well as a big shopping centre so everything is in close proximity. The staff cleaned my room every day I was there and we had light and food when the whole Portugal had power outage. Will definitely recommend”

„Pokój był czysty i cichy, a obsługa w recepcji była bardzo dobra. Restauracja znajduje się na najwyższym piętrze, a podczas śniadania można podziwiać najpiękniejszy wschód słońca i widok na morze, z szerokim widokiem. Zatrzymam się tu ponownie następnym razem, gdy pojadę do Algarve.”

„Very beautiful hotel with an even more beautiful interior, however the rooms, while spacious and comfortable don’t really reflect this. It would be nice if the rooms had a similar look to rest of the hotel. Very good food and even better service. The receptionist was nice enough not to charge me for things I took for the minibar.”

„A charming, clean country house in the middle of farm land with beautiful views of the mountains and water from the top level. Pet friendly and farm animals nearby to mingle with. Definitely recommended.”

„Lovely hotel with delicious breakfast. Small swimming pool”
