We had a truly lovely stay at Solar Mendonça. The location is excellent – right in the center of Faro, just a short walk from the ferry terminal, the bus station, and many great local restaurants and cafés. Despite being so central, the place is peaceful and feels like a calm retreat. The rooms were spotless and tastefully decorated, with very comfortable mattresses. We appreciated the extra pillows and blankets provided in the room. The bathroom was well-equipped, especially for female travelers – shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion were all available and of good quality. Communication with the hotel management was outstanding. Everything was prepared in advance – we received all the access codes for the building and the room ahead of time, and we each had two key cards, which was very convenient. There’s also a rooftop terrace where you can sunbathe or relax. Although we didn’t use it much because we were mostly at the beach, we noticed the hotel thoughtfully provides special towels for the sun loungers. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily return. It’s a cozy, clean, and well-run place that feels like home in the heart of Faro.

The whole feel of the place, and it's huge. I didn't realize the spa center was part of the price, two jacuzzi, one sauna and a steam room (the stream room ceiling tiles were partially hanging off that was quite worrying,but fab besides this) staff he was fantastic, very helpful and accommodating, breakfast was plentiful and pretty good, I asked if they had bananas as they put oranges out and he got me one, just can't fault it, the pool is open 24 hours but not heated BUT HUGE , lovely stay

It was way more expensive that we anticipated especially for Portugal. I guess they live on tourists from Germany or France that visit once, and have bigger salaries than average Spanish person. Personally I didn't like it much. It is messy and dirty, not taken care of. There are some cool bars and food and wine is super good, but again...expensive, and really not much to do there. One day and you can see the whole city. We used the good weather to go near Portimao to see the caves, but lunches are till 2:30! Dinners are till 9/9:30, so plan ahead, and if you want to see the caves by boat, go earlier and check the tides. There are way nicer places around.

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.

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

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.

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.

Cabanas is generally low-key and low-rise.

Cabanas is generally low-key and low-rise. It's got lots of restaurants, some very good, and the waterfront boardwalk which extends the length of the main urban area is lined with restaurants, bars and some modest shops. Don't go for latenight carousing or nightclubs, but the area is very attractive in a gentle way. It's become much busier than it used to be, and there is still quite a lot of holiday accommodation under construction. There's a large but unobtrusive campsite tucked away a kilometer or so from the waterfront, seems to do good overwintering trade with northern EU sunbirds. Difficult to give specific recommendations for restaurants etc as tastes and chefs vary. I'd say it's best for older couples, those wanting to explore the many delights of the Eastern Algarve and the south-west tip of Spain (which is 20 minutes away over the suspension bridge at Castro Marim), families with younger children (probably not teenagers!)
