Absolutely loved our stay – felt like a second home! Everything was spotless, cozy, and welcoming—truly no complaints. From the moment we arrived, it just felt right. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, which was the perfect way to kick off the holiday after a flight. We’d asked for a couple of extra duvets since we're used to sleeping under separate ones—didn’t end up needing them, but the staff handled the request quickly and without fuss. Special shoutout to Filipe—what a legend! From the first moment, he showed us around and instantly felt more like a friend than a hotel staff member. He went above and beyond, even making us personalized lists of restaurants and places to check out. We didn’t make it to all of them, so we’re already saving some spots for next time. Hope to see him again on our next visit! The room had everything: bathrobes, slippers, ironing board with iron, coffee machine, teapot, hairdryer—you name it. Our room was cleaned daily with fresh towels, and honestly, that made it feel like a 5-star experience. Nothing beats coming back to a spotless room after a long day out exploring. And the cherry on top - the hotel has the coziest rooftop ever—perfect for sipping wine, reading a book, or just soaking in the sun. Loads of comfy seating and sunbeds.

The hotel was in the quiet green hills. Upon arrival we heard that there would be a big group of teenage kids and for that reason we got an upgrade to the deluxe room, which was huge. We were not bothered by the kids at all and we enjoyed everything: the pool, the sauna, the restaurant. Great quality food, we decided to have several dinners there, the personnel was very friendly and available. Would recommend!

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

I love the boardwalk, it means you can easily stroll for a couple of miles alongside the beach at a height that provides the best views of the sea. There are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants still great value for money.

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 best place! People in the area are so friendly, restaurants and beach bars are great and the sunsets are amazing! Area is good for walking, biking and driving around - you can also use Ubers! If you like to stay active like me, there's some great gym facilities that do classes and events.

It’s just a lovely town, it’s not too big and you can walk your way around it, The train station is only a 15-20 minute walk to the apartments and hotels. The beach is something special, reached by a small motorboat or you can used the beach at one end which is just by the hotels or the pebble beach at the other up towards the fort. There is a long wooded board-walk which takes you from the smaller beach to the pebble beach depending on your Preferences and there are plenty of benches as you walk along. There are every kind of restaurant you can possibly want, plenty of shops and supermarkets to keep you busy. It’s easy to fly in and use the train to get there or you can drive there depending on your preferences. The Fort, once you see it you will want to stay. The fish and steak restaurants were our choice but there are Indian, Irish, and local dishes as well.

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.
