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!

Tessa Netherlands

The bed was excellent and the whole accommodation superclean and looking sweet. Friendly staff and the breakfast freshly made with love.

Brechtje Netherlands

I 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.

Sophie Germany

Amazing breakfast crew and living room upstairs. And the breakfast itself was really good.

Deryafrei United States of America

The service from the staff. They are outstanding!! Specially Mario and of course Karina and Filipe. They make you feel as part of a family! The breakfast was pretty good with different organic juices every morning. The location is close enough to the action and far enough to have a quiet night sleep. We strongly recommend!
