Hotels With spa in Faro District, Portugal

Check was fast, friendly and efficient. Room was very good. Large bed, safe balcony, very clean, tea and coffee making facilities in the room.Rituals toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was a hot and cold buffet with good choices in all areas. Pool looked clean but didn't use it. Dinner menu had a good selection of dishes but again did not use.

Hotel is in perfect location within the historical site, the room is clean and comfy. Beautiful pool in the middle of the garden. Despite all ups, the downside was the service in general, however the reception was helpful when asked. Tips: Avoid staying the same floor as the reception because there is a staff room next to you, and the staff come to chitchat in the room and the hallway (the same hallway as guest doors, clearly echo). Beware of hot food running out from breakfast way earlier than closing time, you cannot request those eggs, bacons, mushroom if it's runs out. even there are many guests coming in and was no hot food. Like other comment says the hotel is full of potential and personally we think its a very peaceful & lovely place with historical charm. Just the frontline service staffs around the place still far from that so called well service. House keeping were friendly and helpful, gardening maintained well. Enjoyed the place and once learned to didnt expect any service, Its was the best way.

Experience started badly at check-in when they refused to add my wife to the booking as Trip.com’s mobile  “deal” was for one guest in room.  Snarky reception person rude and borderline hostile - this was our third stay at this property and as in the past, we felt a subtle bias against us as non-Portuguese.  The Front Desk Manager got involved and he refused to comp. me my wife’s addition to our room and said we had to pay euros 40 for her two day’s breakfasts.  He appeared unkempt with s dirty shirt and was unshaven .  His attitude was aggressive and disrespectful in the extreme.  We asked to be relocated to a higher floor from the 2nd floor and he informed me that there were no sea view rooms on upper floors.  This was patently a lie as the initial receptionist told me that the hotel was not fully booked. While I was in discussions with the front desk receptionist, a hotel guest came up and complained that her room was bery hot.  She was told by the same snarky receptionist that the aircon was off due to a system changeover and she should open her balcony door! When I asked the same question later on to another receptionist, he said that they could give me a fan.  She was and English lady and when a Portuguese guest arrived to check/in, that dame clerk was all over him with handshakes all around.  Other staff around the property didn’t seem overly friendly to guests as well. It is unforgivable for any hotel, let alone a supposed 5 star property, not to have its HVAC system operable and even worse, not to advise guests of the issue. Our room was spacious, if a little warm, but showed the ravages of time with chipped furniture and surfaces.  Also, not too impressed by the powdered coffee presented in the room, or a euros 3 charged for a bucket of ice. I cannot recommend this property for a stay in Portimao and there are a few other more undated hotels nearby.

A beautiful hotel surrounded by magnificent gardens. We'd barely arrived when something unimaginable happened: a blackout on the Iberian Peninsula. The hotel managers responded in an exemplary manner: they provided information, provided everyone with a water bottle, and served cold meals and free grilled dishes in the restaurant in the evenings. The emergency generator also ran for a few hours. So, despite the uncertainty, we felt well looked after. Enjoying the sun by the beautiful pool area is also nothing to be sniffed at. The breakfast buffet was varied, including a good selection for vegans and vegetarians. We really enjoyed, among other things, the delicious, sweet fruit.

I liked the accommodation, the size of the room, clean linen and towels, a large shower, good pressure of hot and cold water, music on TV, a large swimming pool. Breakfast is quite good, dinner too, no frills, but there is something to eat, there is fruit (pineapple, melon, watermelon and oranges), breakfast costs 7.5; dinner with a small bottle of wine cost me 25 euros. The reception staff is very attentive, they allowed me to change the date of breakfast and helped with the train schedule. The room was spacious and had a balcony.

I had an amazing stay at Vale d’El Rei Hotel & Villas. The property is absolutely beautiful—nestled in a peaceful and scenic location that feels like a true escape. The gardens are lush and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere is tranquil and inviting. My room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with a lovely view and all the amenities I needed. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. I also really enjoyed the breakfast—great variety and fresh options each morning. The pool area was a highlight, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the Algarve. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a relaxing break, Vale d’El Rei is a fantastic choice.

It's a great place to take a morning walk or a leisurely walk or jog in front of a beautiful beach. The spa is divided into time slots and requires a fee.

Vila Real and Monte Gordo are two interesting destinations for practicing sports (running, cycling, golf, etc.) and this Hotel has the ideal characteristics for it. Location close to sports facilities, rooms prepared for a good rest and a breakfast with healthy, quality options suitable for athletes.

We booked a resort view with a balcony got a ground floor with decking. The bedroom was a bit strange, the bathroom had a glass wall at the shower with a curtain in the bedroom covering it????? Cleaning of the room daily was very late could be as late as 3 or 4 pm in the day. We booked all inclusive, the food was amazing and there was always seemed to be food available. Buffet dinner was the best option. The drink selection was varied and non stop, all bars closed by 12 pm. Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. Rooftop bar, pool bar and restaurant staff were friendly, but found a few of the staff in the main bar were unfriendly. I would fully recommend this hotel and are thinking of booking it again for next year.

Hotel in need of some renovations, you can hear the noise in the rooms, they are cold, the indoor pool is terrible, the water is cold and super small. Breakfast could be better for a 4 star hotel. The staff were very friendly.
