Hotels near Cabo de Santa Maria in Faro

The service was correct, the bathroom quite acceptable, good. Comfortable beds and everything spacious. Being on the fourth floor, there was no noise from the street. The only downside is that you could hear noises like pipes, which was a bit annoying, you could hear that weird noise (we think) when others were taking showers or using the WC. We didnt have breakfast. In general, the experience was good and the staff was attentive.

Good hotels, such as this, have common features. This had some particular ones. Our dawn-view of the sun rising over the harbour and Old Faro town was one, followed by breakfast on the 5th Floor. We walked in our first day to the strains of La vie en rose on a petit-grand. Fernando's relaxed piano style matched our mood and the splendid view our over the Rio Formosa to the islands and the sea. Breakfast looked varied, but I concentrated on the bread and cakes. These, and good coffee, say 'Portugal' to me. Life felt good. Eva is close to easy and interesting strolling in the sun. We had lunch on the 5th floor on our last day (3rd). It was busy, mainly with locals, enjoying a winter-solstice fest. This time the piano played by Andre, son of our breakfast entertainer. A lighter style but both saying 'class'

My wife and I stayed at this Hotel at the start of June 2023 for 5 nights. I cannot be more complimentary about the service we received from reception staff, breakfast staff and the two 'managers'. My wife has limited mobility and would use a wheel chair. Everything possible was done to make her stay as full as possible and our lovely room, at the front of the hotel was full of tech and extremely comfortable. Not a beech hotel but a glorious city break base, and Faro has more to offer than you might think. Many thanks to Ricardo and his team. Apologies if spelling is not perfect.

We loved it - where else could one stay at a former Roman palace for 200 euro a night ?! Beautiful outdoor pool with panoramic view, perfectly manicured garden, excellent breakfast, there is even an exhibition onsite. Our room (superior category) is spacious and also has a balcony , although we spent little time in room, there are gorgeous lounges with antiques and patios with flower garden view. Why would you stay in your room. We recommend 2 night stays and it is wonderful to enjoy the estate and there are SPA treatments, although we did not use it. The only catch is that it is 20 minutes from the beach. If you need to go to old town or beach, you need to drive a car (parking is included with spacious underground parking) or use Uber.

Suitable for golfing, just 200 meters next to the QDL, the sunset suite is directly facing the golf course, and the view is good, you need a room on the second floor. The service staff are very enthusiastic and meet various needs from car rental, club rental, fixed course, restaurant and so on. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the beach, and the hotel also has bicycles. Breakfast was good. The only thing is that it is relatively close to the airway, and opening the window during the day will be noisy

I couldnt recommend this place enough. Gorgeous, safe building in a prime location in the town centre - the staff are really helpful and the facilities are some of the best I've ever seen in a hostel. Brilliant kitchen, well equipped, brilliant showers and toilets, clean rooms with very comfortable beds and lockers with keys provided. Space wise, it fit my well packed 40L pack, small items, plus a large tent. All really good. Definitely book in if it's within your budget!

Very clean and new hotel. The carpets in the hallways were brilliant - well thought out to make wheeled suitcases easy to pull; also stylish. Bed was super comfortable, AC very effective, room was kept immaculately clean by friendly cleaning staff. Friendly staff served breakfast and in the roof top bar which was amazing, with 360degree views. Dipping pool and sun loungers were well-used; hard to get a lounger in time! Downside: some very odd management decisions. Despite description on Trip there was no cafe, no lunch or dinner and not even bar snacks! I rang on the 2nd day to ask for a bottle of water … response “Madam, this is a 3* hotel. You only get a bottle of water on your first day”!! Bizarre. I was able to buy a $0.99 bottle from the bar for €2.50! Breakfast: the ubiquitous coffee machine producing the most disgusting coffee - I tried all of them! In the end I risked tea and even the hot water had scum on it. I know I was not alone … bacon - HP sauce standing proud like a statue - no sausages, cooked tomato, fried egg etc! Pancakes and waffles - no syrup! Nice fresh bread rolls and croissants. Sliced cheese and packaged ham. Selection of cereals, orange juice and good selection of fruit. After 5 breakfasts I got fed up. WARNING - I was asked to give them my debit card to pay - she wrote down all the details! After I thought - why? I asked why - she said do they could charge me after I left if anything was missing or broken. I was assured this was legal in Portugal! I told them that was what “checkout” was for! I froze my card but I was really angry and when I have time to get a replacement I will need to cancel it! Balcony nice but only looked onto other rooms! Looking down - WHY NO GARDEN???!!! Just rooftops. I recommend a 4 hour boat trip …. Maybe 30m pleasant walk. Also hire bikes and go to the Nature Reserve - don’t miss Roman Salt Pits and beach crabs ….😊

We stayed at the Loule Jardim Hotel for 27 nights as part of our winter n the Algarve. It is a charming hotel and looks exactly like the pictures on the website. Since it was cool weather, the sun deck was not set up yet but the covered indoor pool was lovely. The staff is exceptional and so very willing to go the extra step to answer questions and make recommendations. Reception, dining room and housekeeping staffs were always so friendly and welcoming. They set a very high standard! If we are in the area again, this is the only place we would consider staying.
