Hotel Farol is overrated. In spite of many good things there were some problems: occasionally smell of drain in room, a bit poor breakfast, pool area worn out, bar list unpractical to use (wrong stapled) for example.

A beautiful and well designed hotel

Cons: Lower or tighten the hotel flags during the night so that the halyard ropes don't always hit the metal poles...that's all.
Location: Good eating in old part of town, beautiful museums and galleries, wonderful park near hotel. A lot of unique and sympathetic spots to enjoy.
Breakfast buffet was excellent. The dining room view with the ocean, ships and scuba divers was very pleasant. The personnel were always willing to fulfill our special wishes.

Die Lage ist top. Die Zimmer sind in die Jahre gekommen. Das Bad war zu klein ein kleines Waschbecken für 3 Personen in einer Suite ist zu wenig. Die Dusche war zu gross.

Wir hatten ehrlich gesagt von einem 5* Hotel mehr erwartet. Es ist schön direkt am Meer gelegen, sowie auch die Räume mit der ausgestellten Kunst haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Frühstück sowie das Abendessen waren sehr gut. Das Hotel braucht jedoch mehr Pflege und auch die Herzlichkeit und zuvorkommende Art der Portugiesen haben wir beim Personal leider etwas vermisst.

Erinomainen hotelli hyvällä paikalla. Julkinen liikenne ei kulje aivan vierestä, mutta kohtuullisen kävelymatkan päästä.
