Very isolated
It did not feel like a luxurious place except having access to sauna and that it is an extension of the palace. It had a nice view but because of the location there is nothing around the hotel. The room was a good size but the beds were a let down, not comfortable.

Unique hotel worth a visit.
Amazing views over Faro. Excellent reception, bar and Resturant service and attention. Carolina’s welcome best we have had worldwide! Lovely clean room with large bed… however had troubles understanding the bath/shower/plug without any instructions and got parts wet that should have stayed dry and had a bath with heel holding down plug etc. Needs a small instruction sticker!

Beautiful hotel but lacking soul
The old part of the hotel is very beautiful but the new section where our room was felt like walking through a modern art museum. While it was comfortable & the service was great it felt soulless . Maybe it’s nicer in summer .
