Location, location, location. Location of the hotel is good. Never saw the sauna as it wasn’t close to the pool. Staff was good except that the night clerk didn’t suggest the water bottles in the fridge. Hotel looked run-down.

Clean and comfortable rooms. Great location by the marina within easy walking distance of the cathedral, restaurants, and the meeting place for boat tours. The breakfast staff were excellent particularly the lady who acted as host in the morning. My husband has mobility issues and she was so kind and caring. My only complaint is that the front desk staff could not call a doctor for my husband when he got pneumonia. They just said go to the hospital without offering to call a taxi or anything like that. In Seville, Madeira and Lisbon, the hotels all offered to call a doctor to the hotel.

Our 2nd time staying at the Hotel Faro, and our stay was just as good! Location is great, and the service and staff are top notch - so friendly and professional. The rooftop bar and restaurant is amazing, and the breakfast buffet is probably one of the best buffets I’ve had. Highly recommend the Hotel Faro for a first class stay.
