    I found the bed to be way too firm. I sleep on my side, but a back sleeper might like the firmness of the beds.

    The hotel is a little tricky to locate. Even the taxi driver from Faro airport was bamboozled to begin with until his sat nav helped out.

    This is a very well appointed guest house in the Montenegro are of Faro very close to the airport. The accommodation rivals that of much bigger hotels and the facilities are excellent. The staff at this hotel are outstanding, helpful, friendly and efficient. We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay and would definitely book again.

    Not a complaint but maybe the rooms should have a couch. Rm105 shower did not drain well. Needs attention.

    Was promised a tray would be left for our breakfast items, we had chosen from a very limited list. There was no cereal on the list. As we were leaving early morning before Breakfast was available. There was no tray left for us. No tea bags left in room and when supplied 3 not of my choosing was going to be charged!!! Never been charged anywhere for teabags that are always in the room. Asked for an Aperol Spritz, but apparently the empty bottle had been left on the shelf and not replaced. Also very expensive for what you get, can stay in in Abufeira, it's only a 35 minute drive to the airport.

    Easy Parking, 1 kilometer from Airport to return Rental car.

    The internet is a bit slow. We ordered paella and was told it's for 2 people but it's too small for 2 people. Paella taste very good though!

    We like the variety of breakfast and the size of the room is spacious. We like the King suite with a hot tub in the balcony overlooking Ria Formosa. There was also a welcome drink to choose from. We had a glass of wine and rose. The receptionist/ barmaid/ waitress/ chef was very friendly. The location is quiet and only 5 mins drive to Faro airport which is handy on our last day in Portugal. The whole place was very clean and modern in decor.

    Would have liked a kettle in the room, but it’s not a major issue. Noting else.

    Location to Faro Airport, cleanliness and the beds were super comfortable. It’s a new renovation and it’s been very tastefully done. Breakfast was great 👍 If you are staying for the night and looking for dinner ask them to tell you about their family run restaurant called O Rui .. fresh fish on the beach and it was very very good 😊

    1 thing - the pillows, not firm enough, but that's it!

    Value for money, we were pleasantly surprised to have breakfast included, full use of spa & pool, drink vouchers on arrival. Staff were friendly (especially Paulo and Catherina - they kept our coffee and alcohol flowing). Everything very modern and clean and hot tub / sun loungers on the balcony were perfect. Not in faro centre, but bolt/Uber are only 3-4 euros to Faro centre. Supermarkets within 15 minute walk, Aldi & Continente. Dozens of car rentals nearby, 10 minute walk from airport, shopping centre 'forum' nearby. Everything you could need with an amazing view of the ria Formosa, faro marina and faro town.
