I want to sincerely thank every single person working at this wonderful hotel. I had an absolutely incredible experience during my stay. Everything was amazing — from the luxurious scents throughout the hotel to the warm feeling of being truly at home. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. I’d especially like to mention Jessica — she was simply exceptional! Thank you, Jessica, for your kindness, attention, and incredible professionalism. You truly made a difference. During my two weeks here, every single person at the front desk was fantastic. Honestly, I couldn’t even single anyone out more because everyone was so wonderful. Thank you all for making me feel safe, welcome, and cared for. I will gladly recommend this hotel and will definitely come back!

We had a wonderful three-day stay at this modern hotel next to the city-center. The room was very nice, with a spacious, well-designed bathroom and beach towels were also provided! A real highlight was the rooftop terrace with sun loungers and tables available to all guests – the perfect spot to enjoy the bottle of white wine that was waiting for us in the room as a welcome gift! The reception was very warm and welcoming - thank you for that! We also had the pleasure of briefly meeting the owner of the hotel, which was a lovely and enriching experience. Such a kind and inspiring person! We’d be happy to come back! Obrigada e até à próxima!

Very nice and cozy hotel, with a lot of history, in a beautiful town. The location is great (right in the middle of the old town), and close to the key touristic points. The hotel is beautiful, and the staff is very helpful and supportive at all times! The SPA services are also quite enjoyable :) Thanks a lot for a nice stay!

Albacora across from Tavira island was such a relaxing spot, the spacious pool area with big warmish pool, then the location with beautiful estuary on your doorstep and quick boat trip over to a stunning wide beach with beach bars and lidos. Very clean and well equipped room, excellent breakfast and friendly helpful staff. We wish we had stayed longer, truly! The town of Tavira is so lovely too. We were sad to go.

Faro has a contrast in neighborhoods.

Faro has a contrast in neighborhoods. Some parts look really rundown and others not so much. Given this city is in the Algarve region, a lot of visitors must come through, and this has given the city a bit of an edge (this observation is based only on a couple of days in Faro, during the "shoulder" travel season in Portugal).

We stayed for 6 nights which was a night or two more than required. Tavira is an interesting town and we enjoyed a Fado performance in one of the beautiful churches. It has a wide choice of good eateries and trips are available to local attractions like the island. However, we were glad we took the option of taking the train to Faro for one day and to the crossingbto Spain on a small ferry on another day. Tavira is close to Spain.The ferry port in Portugal is an attractive town as is its couterpart onthe Spanish side.

Vilamoura is a beautiful resort.

Vilamoura is a beautiful resort. Great selection of bars and restaurants both at the Marina and set back from the Marina. Beaches are beautiful - lovely promenade at Quarteira. Plenty of Ubers available at a great price. Highly recommend The Golden Marina for a Chinese and il Trio for Italian and Rui's for steak. O'Neills Irish Pub is also great for a drink at a decent price and entertainment every night.

Olhao is a welcoming laid back town this time a year. Its very well kept with interesting Cubist architecture. There are many great restaurants and coffee places in all price ranges. It feels genuinely Portugese. Surrounding islands are lovely and transport is easy and very affordable. The markets are also great to visit. The salinas are beautiful with lovely diverse flora and fauna.

We love Quarteira, 20/25mins from Faro airport, beautiful beach clean & well maintained with ample beds with fixed rattan umbrellas for hire, long promenade lined on other side with lots of choices of restaurants /bars. Bus station is great with lots of local buses to wherever you would like to visit. You can walk to Villamoura Marina within 20/30mins walk but be prepared to pay double the prices for food & drink as Quarteira is very reasonably priced. Great friendly atmosphere & we have never experienced any rowdiness at all on our visits

Loule is an historic town, with many interesting areas. It's away from the coastal tourist resorts, so has a more local, authentic character. It's worth trying local restaurants, particularly for fish - suggest Angolano or O Pescador.

The central square and church is where most things are happening, there are plenty of benches to sit on and watch the evening unfold and plenty of very nice shops to browse in the evening. The town is bigger than you think and has 5 biggish supermarkets. The marina is the best place to see the sun go down but the white sand beach is lovely.

We stayed in Faro overnight to catch an early morning flight. We went to the historical part of town and walked around. It was fine but rather unremarkable. However, there is a large shopping center in Faro with an Auchan Supermarket. This shopping center was fantastic, beautiful with nice water features and a large food center with relaxing outdoor seating.
