Due to a mechanical issue with Air Portugal we arrived at the property 6 hours late. I contacted the property and they informed me that there would be someone on duty to check us in. Once we arrived, the front desk clerk, Miguel, was very helpful getting us to our rooms, even offering to carry our bags up the stairs. All of the staff here were very friendly and helpful. The location to the beach, walk out your room, have breakfast in the dining room or outside on the deck, walk down the stairs and you're on the beach. The rooftop dining was excellent. The sunset from the rooftop was incredible. We wish we have stayed an extra day or two.

We had an incredible time staying a couple of nights here. The location is pristine and the beach was clean and comfortable for whatever adventure you are looking to have. I will definitely be back to Faro and when I do I will be staying here again. Great staff, friendly and kind, and always accommodating. The breakfast was really good and the rooms were clean and ready when we arrived. The rooftop terrace offers a great view with excellent cocktails and food. I cannot say enough good things about the way we were treated. Thank you to the staff here for making our weekend memorable and stress free!

Great stay just on the beach. Room was very clean but the whole ground floor had an intrinsic smell of mold, likely because of sea humidity (and despite air conditioning continuously working). Basic breakfast and very nice staff. Wonderful to wake up in the early morning and step out to the beach completely deserted. Nice rooftop with shower for a break at mid-day, good internet services.

If you are a beach lover (perfect beach sunset) and visiting faro this would be my top recommend place to stay! However I would suggest calling the Guesthouse directly and booking through them rather than booking through Expedia!! The guesthouse staff went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed to make my stay just perfect, they were extremely polite and helpful, the place was VERY clean and comfortable and as a solo traveler I always felt safe here, also the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place!!!
