Tripadvisor Reviews
Great location
Great location for seeing Faro and exploring the Ria Formosa. I’m very good at research but somehow missed the outdoor pool was closed - disappointing , but not the end of the world. We took the free hotel speedboat (book in advance) to the beach, that worked perfectly. Good rooms, mini bar (very reasonable) comfortable bed, good shower. Plenty of choice at breakfast, accompanied by a live pianist! Didn’t eat at the hotel or use any facilities apart from bars - again very reasonable. Staff were friendly and helpful. We didn’t find the marina view rooms noisy at all, we loved sitting on the balcony and taking in the incredible views of city and Ria Formosa. Great stay, and would recommend.
Simply the best
We have just flown back from a holiday staying at this hotel. The staff of the hotel made our holiday with their friendly, approachable way and we would like to thank the lady who cleaned our room (417), the bar staff, reception and the breakfast staff who were all very pleasant and helpful. Another nice touch was flowers that were given out some mornings, mine went into a bottle of water in the bedroom and made me smile each morning when I looked at them. A huge thank you to the Pianist who we listened to in a morning and who kept us entertained in the evening where we tried to guess the tune he played. We really appreciated this lovely touch and he, and his son, were a joy to listen to, please pass on our kind regards to them, he will remember I am sure.
In addition we enjoyed the food at the hotel and even brought back a bottle of local wine to console ourselves with as winter fast approaches in the UK.
Not sure when but we would definitely stay at this hotel again. It is spotlessly clean, very conveniently placed on the Marina and has a lovely vibe (even when very busy). Cannot fault the hotel at all and we have travelled quite a bit.
Best breakfast in Faro
We always stay at the AP Senses when we visit Faro, the location is brilliant and the breakfast is exquisite especially with our favourite pianist on the grand piano. We love it.
Reception is a nightmare
The good - best breakfast. The bad and the ugly - Reception. Busy, slow and filled with people that are clearly dis-interested and poorly trained. I’ve never seen a Leader at this Hotel. When it expands it’s not going to go well unless they recruit better Leadership.
An excellent place to stay.
Very comfortable rooms and a balcony, friendly staff who really gave the impression they cared about our comfort. And well placed for walks to other bars and restaurants in Faro. And all with an outstanding view of the harbour and beyond.
