Beach Hotels in Faro District, Portugal

"Once called the Alvor Luna Bay when bedrooms seemed larger!!! Renamed and reshaped. Swishly refurbed as new. Now the main problem is the lack of storage in what seem smaller bedrooms despite voluminous balconies. Simply, storage is inadequate for two guests for longer than a week, maximum. Let me describe............ a small [4feet tall?] open metal wardrobe rail with five fixed point clothes hangers. Four or five open shelves beside this rail., one occupied by the rooms safe. In all other respects its fine. The staff good and plentiful and helpful. The location the best in town!"

"I stayed for a day. Perfect place. Budget friendly. Very spacious kitchen and common area. Quite clean. The house keeper was very friendly and stated the rules very clearly. The restaurants nearby were good for me. The beach was very good. I enjoyed the trip."

"Good service, old facilities, because it is a 1966 hotel needs a lot of upgrade. The two golf fields are excellent and well treated. I believe that the 5 stars are due to the golf fields, because I can certainly consider a 4 stars."

"The hotel has perfect location for the Albufeira just on old town the beach just behind the hotel ,15mins walk to the to city center where the big supermarket cafes shopping center the room so brigth and big enough plus kettle tea and coffee,water ,the only down side is there is bars with very loud music is bite problem,I high recommend ."

"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."

"Very good Facilities: If you don't want to spend money on parking, you need to find a parking space nearby. The hotel's parking space is 15 euros a day, which is quite expensive Hygiene: OK, just average Environment: Very good near the beach. Service: The service is quite good"

"Another great stay in Sagres. We love this hotel. It is our second stay here and will return. We had an apartment overlooking the pool and ocean. Great for watching the sunset. There was a kitchenette, a living room, balcony, bedroom with 2 twin beds and bathroom. It was perfect for us. Great value for the money."

"Facilities: Good Hygiene: Okay Environment: Good Service: Good environment, good everything, very close to the beach, general health, it is recommended to take a disposable trip, a lot of food around, very delicious, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good"

"The first night I stayed on the basement floor. At 2 o'clock in the evening, there were so many ants that I was so scared that I walked out of the mud and hundreds of them were scared to train all night! Change the room immediately on the first day and change the 3rd floor. Good colored ants! I don't know if the so-called super small wild food is worth it for breakfast. The room is big enough to have a terrace, the whole system of the hotel itself is not wrong, the underground is not good, there is free parking"

"Free parking is available on the road around the hotel, breakfast is less variety, and the swimming pool is relatively clean. There is a beach at the door, and the scenery is not needed."
