Hotel Dengan Spa di Daerah Faro, Portugal

Fantastic all round stay from the time we checked in till the time we checked out.The hotel is situated in a side street in the middle of faro, but don't let looks fool you as once you enter in the hotels very modern. Greeted with a helpful smiling reception after a grueling time getting through customs was a god send, in the room itself b oth the bedroom and bathroom were clean and spacious Only negative, just black tea available in the room, so all you coffee lovers might want to bring your own as well as a drop of milk if required. Help yourself buffet style breakfast which was amazing with a large selection of both hot or cold available and tea, coffee or juices are here too all at a moderate price. I've just booked a room on the return journey so happy days.

We had a five night break in Faro and stayed at this hotel, conveniently sited overlooking the marina. The airport bus drops you within a three minute walk of the hotel and the train station is just a little further away. We were fortunate to have a lovely room with balcony from which we could see the old town beyond the marina. The room was very comfortable and of a good size too. One disadvantage of the hotel is the small lifts from the reception area to upper floors: we used the stairs for easier access once we had taken bags to our room. The breakfast was very good with a pleasant area outside which was quite warm even in November. Entertainment was provided by a resident pianist and added a little to the general ambience of breakfast time. Overall, we were very pleased with our accommodation and would certainly stay there again if we were to revisit Faro.

We paid 176 Euro, incl breakfast for 3 persons for an old hotel with simple furnitures and very small rooms. Sorry, we travel a lot around the world, and can compare price-performance ratios. This price for this room is ridiculous. There is also no pick up service from the airport as announced in trip.com! The service was good, we checked in at 01:30 in the morning. The staff is very friendly. But again not worthy at all. Sorry for this harsh review but we are very disappointed and not sure to use trip.com again.

I stayed here on my first solo trip/my birthday. The hotel was perfect and the staff were lovely & helpful! They offered suggestions on places to visit and things to do. I even got a surprise bottle of prosecco and cake delivered to my room on my birthday morning! Very quiet & peaceful area, with so many places nearby (10 min walk or less) but if you don’t feel like exploring, the poolside area, spa & rooftop bar could be more then enough. Breakfast was delicious with a wide range of options too. 10/10 from me!

Fantastic service and location, we arrive early and the hotel let us check in early, buffet breakfast very nice and all reception staff very friendly and helpful , will come back again.

I was suspicious as soon as the front desk clerk demanded payment before check in claiming it’s a law in Portugal. This was our third hotel stay in Portugal and the previous 2 hotels made no such claim. The room is tiny. The hotel is outdated. Our ceiling is pictured below which has water damage. The only nice thing is the fact that the beach is so close.

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful location - we went at a time where it was a little quieter but still sunny. They town is small and cute and during summer I’m sure there’s more entertainment. The staff in the beginning weren’t as welcoming but after that they were all very pleasant. We did mention it’s our anniversary but as this was in the beginning with staff that weren’t bothered nothing was done. Other staff were very very nice and always so helpful. Breakfast was lovely and the bar at night was also lovely.

I would love to give this place a poor review to put people off going so I could keep it for myself but that would be doing the staff a real disservice. I can't fault this place at all- the place was spotless inside and out and the rooms were well equipped with fridge ,safe and air conditioning and lovely hot showers. The breakfast had something for everyone and changed each day. The staff are the real star of the show though and nothing is too much trouble. We mentioned we were looking for worry beads and the next thing we knew one of the waitresses at breakfast went across the street and brought back a selection for us to choose from and purchase from the shop opposite. Special mention to Ioanna who was so friendly and up for a laugh she really made our holiday. Great Central location but quiet with a lovely small pool and pool area. Can't wait to come back!

Good hotel for a short stay. Near by speed boat center from the hotel for trips to benagil

Booked a panoramic balcony suite - room was fantastic all you could need, x2 bathrooms, kitchenette, living area and large bed and balcony with views. The buffet breakfast had a wide range of choices and was to high standard and well stocked - really enjoyed it ! I ate a snack on the evening in the mezzanine bar, it was ok but not amazing. The quality of the red wine and attentive service in the bar was very good. Checkin and out quick and very well organised and lovely communicative staff. My personal preferences, would be that in the evenings there is a buffet meal option, rather than pre booked restaurant or pizza as it is somewhat limiting. And minor but attention to details - a suggestion that the room stock only local/Portuguese products such as the water, should really be from Monchqiue... and provided toiletries felt a bit random a mix of English and Portuguese - felt a bit like what was just leftover rather than a collaboration and quality there. Overall excellent stay and will definitely be back.

Nice stuff and a really good experience in check in check out. The hotel is located close to the city centre and has an honest price. It's not the newest, as the floor and bathroom should be renovated but it's not so important if you are looking for a good, safe, cleaned place to stay for a very convenient price.

歐洲連鎖酒店，因為到葡萄牙正好趕上週末，法魯的酒店都不便宜，而且停車是個問題。 這個酒店在高速邊上，高速上有專門的指示牌，一出高速就到，寬大的免費停車場簡直是是自駕旅遊的福音。訂了標間，房間真心很小，但好在麻雀雖小五臟俱全，酒店自帶游泳池，炎熱夏天泡泳池是最好的消暑方式。 酒店位置還行，去海邊開車10分鐘，走路10分鐘，有個大型的shopping mall各種吃的，喝的，品牌店，超市，應有盡有。shopping mall頂層有一家中式自助餐廳，11歐，性價比很高，對於中國胃，可以打打牙祭。相對西班牙，這裏的物價的確低些。

My wife and I stayed at this Hotel at the start of June 2023 for 5 nights. I cannot be more complimentary about the service we received from reception staff, breakfast staff and the two 'managers'. My wife has limited mobility and would use a wheel chair. Everything possible was done to make her stay as full as possible and our lovely room, at the front of the hotel was full of tech and extremely comfortable. Not a beech hotel but a glorious city break base, and Faro has more to offer than you might think. Many thanks to Ricardo and his team. Apologies if spelling is not perfect.

Absolutely gorgeous grounds and building, spent a few hours wandering the public gardens and the private grounds, the house and enjoying the pool. Fantastic services, delicious breakfast, lovely front of house staff. Would recommend eating dinner in the village, I enjoyed delicious dourada and wine for 10 euro at O Belo Sol. Taxi from the palace to the airport is 20 euro and takes 20 mins.

This hotel is very recent. Beautiful, elegant and well-equipped in terms of services. What doesn't strike us as normal, however, is the lack of little touches for a hotel in this category. No shampoo, no q-tips, just the same gel for washing hands and in the shower. No shower cap. An empty fridge bar. We appreciate the coffee machine and the bottle of water, but one normal coffee capsule and 3 decaffeinated coffee capsules... not logical... We asked for a room with a bath when we booked (we were ”upgraded” without any request on our part, on a ”marina” view, but with a shower. As we are not very nice customers, we didn't say anything. The bedding is good. The pillows are quite thick, which can be uncomfortable for people with sensitive necks. 3 cushions are available, but they are all very dense. The road is very noisy, subject to a few car rodeos at night. I've heard that the rooftop is noisy in November, but fortunately this is not the case. The staff are friendly and respond to requests. The breakfast buffet is very comprehensive, but for the evening menu, this type of buffet seems less attractive, but will surely please some people. The spa is very good, at 12.5 euros for one hour (equipped swimming pool, sauna, hammam, etc.). There is a car park at the hotel for 6 euros a night, but free parking is available 200m from the hotel by the beach. All in all, then, this is a fine hotel with a lot of potential, but some details clearly need to be reviewed to make it really nice.

房間很寬敞，環境也好，離海邊特別近，就是感覺很可笑的一點是我們訂的一間大床房入住兩個人很正常，但是酒店卻説要加錢，因為我們訂單上是一個人，最後被坑了50歐元，雖然送了早餐，但是心裏還是不舒服，我們訂的一間房又不是一張床，住一個人和住兩個人有什麼區別呢。另外早餐很敷衍，基本沒啥可吃的。

A truly great experience!! Room was comfortable and housekeeping excellent. Well placed with a view of the Marina. The highlight of each morning of my 5 night stay was the Breakfast. Fantastic choice and everything well cooked and presented. The staff, particularly the trainees, were always friendly and obliging. I couldn't fault anything about the Breakfast at all. The situation of the Hotel was ideal for me but might not suit everyone as it was sited out of the Town. A beautiful beach was adjacent to the Hotel and even out of season there were a variety of Restaurants nearby. All staff, the Receptionists, Restaurant staff and Housekeeping were outstanding, always greeted me with a smile and very helpful.

Just come back from a four night stay at these apartments and I must say they were excellent. Great amenities lovely pool area and very friendly staff. The little on site shop had all we wanted and we ate in the restaurant on our first night and although there was several items unavailable what we had was great. The apartments are very assessable to the beach and there are a few restaurants nearby although some were closed because it was off season. We recommend Just Beef which is in walking distance up the coast, we ate here twice! Would definitely recommend a stay at these apartments and hope to return soon. Thank you

Beautiful property right on Praia da Rocha. Excellent service at check-in, was given a quick tour of the lobby and room by a wonderful gentleman. Beautiful and tidy room, stunning view from balcony, though the small bathroom window opens into the corridor and at times there is an unpleasant odour from a pipe in the toilet. Breakfast was adequate and delicious, staff were helpful and nice. Overall a great place to stay!

This hotel is an amazing retreat! Surprisingly you can't hear the noise from the racing track just nearby. The staff is very nice and attentive. The location is great if you want to be in a quiet part of the Algarve (30 minutes from Portimão). The breakfast is great. It has variety and the products are fresh and high quality. The hotel has an amazing outdoor swimming pool, unfortunately the it was too windy and we were not able to enjoy it. The Jacuzzi and the indoor swimming pool are great too! The room is as in the pictures, it is big and the decoration is modern. Overall, we recommend this hotel if you want to enjoy a quiet retreat in the Algarve!

Huge improvement in the last few years. We have been coming to Penina for the last 12 years. Just post Covid, the hotel and golf courses were very run down. (Like many hotels so not unique). The recovery to great service now is impressive. The hotel has not been rebuilt or even redecorated but is much ‘fresher’ and a pleasant place to spend your holiday. The Championship Course is much improved and probably only one more season from being back to great condition. The Resort Course is much improved over this year. Four temporary greens whilst the original greens are relaid. Fairways quite good but tee boxes need attention. Having said that, the price to play has been reduced to compensate and the golf staff made sure you understood that the course is having work before you sign up. The par-3 course no longer exists and there seems no sign that it’s coming back. A web search shows the par-3 as still being advertised. The Gym is still an asset. Bit old but good enough for a rounded work out. Now the gem in the crown and the most improved area is in staff attitude, friendliness and helpfulness. Front desk is very welcoming and efficient. Dolores was ever present and helpful. Bar and Henry Cotton staff are likewise, friendly and efficient. Breakfast is great, choice and quality of food has improved from adequate to very good. Someone is clearly on top of the offer and service. Staff quantity increased and all seem happy and helpful. Golf Shop and Caddy Master group are also great and a joy to interact with. Overall, my opinion…. A 5* hotel that is really a 4* hotel with 5*+ staff. Definitely on the right trajectory getting back to its best. The key to the next level of offer is to finish off the Henry Cotton golf course and get the Resort Couse back to great condition.

Very Clean, spacious in a great location, breakfast was good, would be nice if there were a few more options.

I was suspicious as soon as the front desk clerk demanded payment before check in claiming it’s a law in Portugal. This was our third hotel stay in Portugal and the previous 2 hotels made no such claim. The room is tiny. The hotel is outdated. Our ceiling is pictured below which has water damage.

just perfect in every way from the hotel, location , breakfast to the great staff . will most definitely be returning . Great restaurants all around , lovely promenade and very clean beach with shaded beds run by the hotel. quiet and peaceful resort . Hotel & resort was everything we hoped it would be, Simon

Fantastic stay at the aquashaw hotel, the staff were very friendly and attentive to all our needs on our stay. I would particularly like to give Alexis a big thank you as he was very friendly and I enjoyed having good conversations with him and he made a good cup of tea. I stayed here with my 6 year old daughter and she absolutely loved the soft play the indoor pool and the outdoor pool. My daughter made lots of friends on the trip and did not want to come back home. The cleanliness is fantastic the domestic staff are excellent at their job and we're always greeting us with a smile we had our room cleaned every day and it was cleaned before lunch. There was a towel service were you pay 10 euros deposit and you can get clean towels everyday the reception staff were fantastic and always welcoming. I would highly recommend this hotel I felt safe and comfortable and felt like a home from home. I will return at a later date.

When we read reviews we were a bit unsure of our choice. We arrived on the 15th September our room was not available to 2 pm so we had some lunch in the hotel which was good. Our room 212 was perfect except for one small issue with the floor in the sitting area. We were offered to moved but declined due to the location and size of the room. The Housekeepers serviced the room everyday. Bed was so so comfortable. Breakfast was excellent plenty of everything hot or cold. The staff were excellent and friendly. We were always able to get a sun lounger. We chose Bed and Breakfast as we wanted to eat out and such a selection of restaurants. Highly recommend O’Neills Irish Bar food was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful stay at a lovely traditional Portuguese Hotel. We will be back again very soon.

Service was brilliant, apart from when groups arrived and then we felt a bit ignored. Hotel is nice and spacious, and rooms a good size. The hotel did have a corporate, conference feel about it so it depends what you are looking for in a stay. Breakfast was great and plenty of fresh food. The free taxi to the Marina worked fine, although you had to book (and can only book on the day). The only times available, though, ware 11 am, 6pm and 7 pm, so we ended up using Ubers to get back in the evening. (between 5 and 8 Euros so not too bad). They don't have as many restaurants as some hotels so the marina is the easy answer for food. The onsite Thai restaurant was really nice and worth a treat one evening. Overall a nice weeks stay in the sun which is what we wanted.

Very welcoming at check in. Noa cafe on site is fab, with beautiful fresh and healthy food. Lovey, large kid friendly pool. Easy access and parking right opposite the apartment. Clean, but slightly dated apartment.

Highly recommend. Flawless hotel, excellent service, super friendly staffs, amazing food quality. Every detail of our stay has been incredible. Also a special mention to the extremely helpful reception team. 2am room service is top notch, also one reception lady is so kind, she went above and beyond to help us to find a good Presunto, we will definitely come back because of the great service, which made our holiday stress free and enjoyable

Just back from another stay at this hotel. Yet again another fantastic stay as always staff are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are spacious and clean and the restaurant is very good, stayed half board basis again and the standard of the meals is excellent. Once again thanks to Tiago ,Pedro Liliana, Michelle and RIcardo for making it another great stay for me. I get asked why do I keep going back usually as a solo traveller....(9 visits now in 2 years) simple answer the excellent friendly and professional service that you all provide keep up the good work and thanks again

I really don't want you to think I'm a moaner so will try to stay constructive. Hotel looks stunning on arrival, check in fine....quickly realised we got the room we paid for, which is fine but if you are an influencer upgrades are reserved for you. Everyone else take note! We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary and I tried to pay for an upgrade prior to travel but never heard anything. I 1000% recommend upgrading to anything above the tropical room, garden view as you go down one level from reception..the hall leading to your room is as dark and miserable as the room itself. There is a form for you to let them know what needs fixing in the room....I'm sorry for 5 star hotel and how much we paid to stay in the basement pretty sure they should check everything, i shouldn't need to tell them. The little mirror in bathroom was broke, light in wardrobe hardly ever worked and made a noise when it didn't but I didn't want to be inconvenienced by someone needing to go in. Found the room depressing when it was raining too. Now the Good stuff, indoor pool was good as long as you booked your hour slot and not allowed a minute over, food at breakfast was good....shame they couldn't have families one side of room...ended up surrounded by toddlers that just kept screaming. 👎 we ate out every night stayed on BB....I fully recommend this as there are so many amazing restaurants around the marina with great customer service and change of scenery. I note those that pay for more expensive rooms or the residencys or are influencers are treated amazingly. Maybe we should have complained more. Few mornings I had to get my own coffee as they make the staff do it but they are not attentive enough and were pretty mad when I got my own. Again maybe I'm too easy going. I've stayed in some amazing 5 star hotels in Croatia, Singapore and Bali and this was not my idea of 5 stars. Sorry! The staff are lovely, friendly, and cleanliness standards are really good. The cleaning operatives always go above and beyond. Shout out to those hard workers that keep the hotel running smoothly and your room spotless. One niggle, I had accidentally dropped my dressing gown in the bath so was taken with the towels. When I reported it to reception, they made me feel like a thief as they wanted to check with laundry...I just needed a new gown not my old one. The house keeping lady got it for me in seconds bless her so I tipped her there and then. Breakfast does not cater for Pescatarian or vegetarian as the hot food didn't include vegetarian sausages etc.

Lovely hotel x very clean x up to date x comfy beds and pillows x spacious room x We had a Sea view room x great location x 3 minutes away from the beach x opposite the marina x lots of shops x Chinese restaurant right next to the hotel x mc Donald’s 2’mins walk x supermarket in reach x Thai restaurant down the road also x watching the sunrise/sunset was beautiful. Only thing I fault is the food, we did half board and it wasn’t worth it at all. Very basic food every single day
