Top Hotels with Gyms in Faro

The AP Eva Senses hotel was easily accessible from the airport on the local bus (16). Conveniently placed near the marina/harbour, its centrally located to local cafes, a mcdonalds and a convenience store. The hotel itself has a large entrance hall with self-check-in available to guests. You’ll also find a bar and restaurant on the ground floor. I was assigned to a twin room which was a decent size offering a private shower room and balcony. Unfortunately I discovered multiple cleaning issues which I raised with reception – this included a cigarette filled ashtray, used glasses, stained bedsheets, dusty lampshades and towel rail, however they assisted me promptly and re-allocated me to another room which was a welcomed improvement. Although a 3-star hotel, I did expect the cleaning levels to be slightly better than my experience, but the staff were very helpful with addressing my concerns. Dinner at the Eva restaurant was warm and pleasant, the staff were very attentive, and the food was prepared and served within good time. The continental breakfast was pleasant with pastries, deli meats, fresh fruit, tea and juices. The view from the rooftop was amazing! As a solo traveller, I felt safe and accommodated. Cleanliness was a let-down but my interaction with the staff was positive.

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.

Enjoyed a 3 night stay at Hotel Monaco in Faro, upon arrival was greeted at reception and quickly got my key to the room on the 3rd floor. The room was very modern, the staff had closed the curtains so the room was cool. Air conditioned unit kept the room Icy cold which suits me, very comfortable bed with a small lcd tv mounted above a small desk. Hdmi plugs behind tv if you wish to pop in your fire stick. Complementary wifi with speeds good enough for streaming Netflix etc Small balcony so if you wish can sit out, the bathroom was of average size with a bath tub with over head shower. Adequate for showering! Plenty of storage space, small safe and a fridge to keep your drinks cold. Small pool outside with plenty of loungers although I never used this. The bar is quite spacious and the bar staff very attentive to your requests. I read a few bad reviews about breakfast, well yes it’s served in the basement but is well lite and decorated. Plenty of choices for all, only hot items were scrambled eggs and local sausages. Staff constantly kept all the food stocked up and kept the area clean. Overall I’d stay here again, Uber to/from airport 6 euro (although there is a shuttle) only 5 min journey and around 8 euro to Faro town centre less than 10 mins so it’s a handy base. Also free parking in the small street outside and is mainly in a residential area which is very quiet day/night.
