"A good hotel, good location, the air conditioning did not heat unfortunately and it was cold, but the weather did not help either, the balcony is very small, we were worried that there would be problems with hot water, since the website states that hot water is not 24 hours, however, there was always water and the shower was comfortable and good."
"Not my first time in Faro but chose this hotel for the rooms with balcony marina view. The hotel has a rich history and has been around since 1960s and its undergoing refurbishments in some areas.
The old rooms look dated and could do with better cleaning as previous occupant’s hair was found in the bathroom.
We loved the design & aesthetic looks of the new refurbished areas such as the spa, bathrooms, gym, pool & sauna but shame that there was a water leak in the indoor pool ceiling and rusty bits on the stainless steel railings. Considering it’s completed in Aug 2025, the hotel may need to do more due diligence to ensure the safety of guests.
As a non Portuguese speaker, I felt that the check-in staff can make more efforts in being warm and welcoming. I noticed that this hotel is one of the few hotels ive been that check-in staffs are seated instead of standing, making the process somehow casual & less welcoming. I also called in to make a request for a late check out and received a hostile response by a lady who said ‘No. We need the room back’.
We just got married the day before arriving & we are here to also celebrate my honeymoon & partner’s birthday. Weeks prior to arriving, I put in a request if the hotel could do a birthday special for him but this was not acknowledged.
As an avid traveller who has stayed in many hotels around the world, I am a little dissapointed with the lack of personalised attentive service provided by the hotel. If the view & location isn’t a concern, I recommend the nearby 3HB hotel. We enjoyed our stay there.
AP Eva senses have a great deal of potential, but they may be complacent at going beyond, as they are currently the only hotel at Faro marina. Additional employees like the elder gentleman pianist & hotel hairdresser were the warmest I’ve come across."
"The location of the hotel is really convenient, 10 mins walk to the marina and the old city. The rooms are good size with a good size ensuite bathroom. The breakfast was a decent spread.
The best part of the hotel is the 24 hr reception. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this hotel"
"One work AMAZING. I go to Portugal every year and this has been the best hotel I've stayed in by fair. I'm already planning another trip just to go here. The service, food and people are amazing . You have to try the restaurant it's amazing"
