My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although terribly hot, were clean and comfortable, offering views of the marina without the expected balcony. The duet singing and guitar playing added a nice touch to the ambiance. The service was top-class, with helpful staff and great cocktail offerings, but asking for upfront payment during booking felt a bit strict. The location was perfect, within a short walk of the historic old town, shops, and restaurants. The dining experience was one of the best I've had in a hotel, with plenty of variety and live music on some days. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor drawbacks.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room had a perfect view of the Marina, and the small balcony was ideal for enjoying the scenery. The bed was huge and so comfortable, and the room was clean, bright, and airy just like I had hoped for. The tea and coffee making facilities were a nice touch and were replenished daily.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent, right in the heart of Faro overlooking the marina, and very close to the city center and local restaurants. The rooms, unfortunately, did not live up to expectations, as they were noisy when facing the main road, a stark difference from the representations on booking sites. The service was friendly overall but lacked enthusiasm at times. The dining experience was delightful with a lovely view of the marina. However, the noise from the main road and misrepresented rooms were significant drawbacks.

I had a great time at the hotel, the room was overlooking the Marina and to a very high standard with a king-size double bed, immaculately clean. However, it was a bit too hot for my liking as the A/C was set to 'HOT' all the time and noise from the traffic along the marina was noticeable. The location was excellent with lovely views over the marina, and the staff was very friendly and efficient. The dining experience was enjoyable with tasty food and beautiful views, but the options were a bit limited and not reflective of the price. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
