Hotel Occidental Faro

After reading reviews I was really unsure, but I can honestly say one of the best holidays I’ve had. Hotel is clean and really beautiful, rooms are really spacious and clean and have complementary bathroom basics and shampoo and conditioners. Only thing I would say it’s missing is a balcony :(||The breakfast is really good lots to choose from and champagne breakfast every morning if you choose till 10am.||No balcony’s on the rooms however the roof top bar and pool make up for this in spades a stunning and relaxing hotel .||Pool is small but really nice, and only about 13 loungers however you never need to queue in the mornings , it’s really not busy and I was here peak season .||Staff are super friendly also and attentive .||The hotel is central to everything it’s a step away from every place you could think of to eat and also has amazing views of the harbour .||Hotel also has a free bus to the private beach with parasols which is about 15 minutes away and is a great day out.||This is a very relaxed and stress free holiday so peaceful and quiet I would definitely recommend and I will be back my new favourite hotel and destination

All the amenities that you would expect fridge, TV, safe etc but just a hanging rail for clothes, no walk-in shower just a bath with a hand held attachment, table and chair (two would of been better). The room key is programmed so you just tap it in the lift and it automatically takes you to your floor, nice touch. Buffet breakfast has plenty of choice. The restaurant has a varied menu and is of a very good quality with knowledgeable and attentive staff. Our meals were excellent as was the suggested wine. The restaurant and bar is on the top floor which has great views across the marina and out to sea. It's close to the railway station and the old town which is worthy of a stroll.

Very good hotel, well placed for everything in Faro, staff pleasant and very helpful, rooms ok, comfy beds good a/c, shower/bath bottom can be quite slippery. Very good breakfast it caters for everyone, rooftop pool and lounge area good. |My only problem was four drunken girls partying two doors away on my last night. |Staff apologised profusely for this. Otherwise 9/10

Great hotel for a city break We stayed in June for 3 nights on a girl's trip. The room was very spacious and the hotel was based closer to the marina. We were able to walk to the old town. Lots of great places around for shopping and dinning. Breakfast was very good. They had everything we needed. The freshly squeezed orange juice was very much enjoyed during our stay.

Great location. And comfy beds. Wouldn't say it is a 4 star..superior room pretty average, wonky TV, No sound insulation so noise from other rooms and corridor audible, basic bathroom, thin towels, coffee pods for lavazza machine provided as was tea, however notice advising that refills are charged. Coffee is 1 euro in a cafe so 3 euros pretty steep. Water refill 4 euros for 250ml. Staff lovely rooftop bar nice, breakfast fabulous.

Good hotel just at the marina of Faro. Amazing view from the rooftop bar/restaurant. Breakfast nice but nothing special. Rooms mostly clean and taken care of while obviously aged. Sadly pile of hair found on the chair from previous occupant. Comfy bed, good AC and nice view. Parking available in direct vicinity at the marina. All in all pleasant stay.

We paid a premium due to the holiday weekend. The roof bar drinks were pricey and the waiter seemed annoyed with us trying to rearrange our wet chairs for dry ones. The front of house staff were very good though. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect for all the fantastic local eateries. We highly recommend The Old Tavern, a 10 minute walk from the hotel in Vila Adentro.

Stayed at a premium double room on the 1st floor, small and rather dark room. Was told that standard rooms are on 2nd floor. Friendly front desk staff. Good location. Hotel entrance was not particularly appealing. As requested, got a quieter room overlooking a pedestrian street, not a nice scene but at least its quiet. Strong shower. Breakfast on rooftop restaurant was delightful with nice view, ok selection, good for drinks in the evening. Tiny swimming pool. Car transfer to beach service was good.

The views from the rooftop deck are the best in Faro. You can see the entire marina and watch planes land at the nearby airport. The service was great, the menu is extensive and the wine is exclusive. It's a tad bit expensive for the area but worth visiting for a drink.
