Top Faro City Centre Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Faro City Centre

3HB Faro

10/10 Excellent

"Very high end hotel . Very clean . comfortable rooms . Good restaurants and bars. Delicious breakfasts . Pool on the roof amazing with good service and restaurant and bar . Very pleasant stay . A lot of much nicer cities around Faro but definitely thanks to that hotel we had a great visit."

Occidental Faro

8/10 Good

"Breakfast, pool area, view and location were excellent. Front desk also top notch. Only complaint was service during dinner. We asked if they could fit us in and they said they were going to be full at 8:00 but agreed to seat us at 7:00. We were right on time, ordering took about 15 minutes even though they were almost empty. Big tour arrives at 8:00 and we hadn’t seen our waiter in 45 minutes. Finally after an hour I complained to another waiter and they apologized and provided a free glass of wine. Dinner arrived at 8:20. One entree was great, the other was baaad (the pasta). Overall hotel was very good, just the one (well, actually 2) hiccup."

Aquashow Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place was great. The staff were super friendly. The Hotel was perfect location to reach everything we wanted to reach. We had a rental car which opened us to explore what the local scene had to offer. Beaches, Night markets, Supermarkets, Late night local Ice creams shops, Festivals, the lot! Underground parking was excellent at keeping the car cool. Rental towels (10 euro Cash deposit each) were very convenient as we were travelling very light. The Aqua Park was great fun. Be sure to check your child's height. 140cm + gets you full access to everything. Sub 120cm excludes some of the rollercoasters and big slides. Sub 110cm excludes a lot of the slides. Only a few Kiddy slides left to explore. A quick 5 min walk to the park. Wrist bands get you straight it. You will have to leave your stuff unattended if you plan on moving around the park as a family. Or you can rent a locker for 10euro per day. But everyone leaves their stuff on the grassed area and there seems to be a level of trust amongst everyone. We left our towels, phones and flip flops and never had anything missing."
