The staff was amazing here! Even though we arrived a little early, they did everything they could to make sure we could enter our room immediately. Also, as we planned for a boat trip in the early morning the next dat, we couldn’t attend breakfast. The staff let us know that they put a breakfast box for us in the fridge so that we could still have some. Location is great as well. Much recommended!
NetherlandsThe bed was excellent and the whole accommodation superclean and looking sweet. Friendly staff and the breakfast freshly made with love.
NetherlandsI had a wonderful experience at the sun light house, the location was just perfect. The hotel is in an quiete area but super close to all the restaurants and bars. Breakfast was perfect and very well presented. I would definitely stay there the next time I’m in Faro again.
GermanyBreakfast was great, Louis made everyone a wonderful breakfast, The 2 gentlemen who own the place take pride in keeping the place spotless. Also, their English is excellent and they go out of there way to help you
