Hotels With spa in Faro District, Portugal

Excellent, modern, and young hotel. Organization isn't always top-notch yet, for example, cleaning was sometimes forgotten. Nevertheless, if reported to the reception, it was immediately resolved. We had trouble opening our luggage; when reported to the reception, someone immediately came to fix it (without damage). One minor complaint: the sports facilities are too small. For such a large hotel, there's only 1 bike, 1 treadmill, etc. Many people want to work out in the morning, and there wasn't enough space. There's plenty of space by the pool, however. Very good, with various options for lounging by the pool. Good pool bar, although sometimes drinks take a while to be served. Friendly staff, good cleaning team. We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday!

Positives Excellent location with everything on your doorstep. Beautiful pool and garden areas, spectacular beach views, and great facilities. Staff were very friendly, especially around the pool. Food at breakfast and dinner was good, and evening live music was a nice touch. Negatives Our room had an ant infestation, so we had to switch; moved from the 5th floor to the 1st, where noisy neighbours at 1:30am meant a complaint to reception. On half-board, the dinner buffet only runs Tuesdays and Thursdays; other nights it’s a limited menu, with the full menu at extra cost (food was still good). Restaurant service was chaotic for a couple of nights; slow service , billing issues, wrong orders - though staff apologised and things improved by the end. Reception also didn’t explain key facilities at check-in, like beach lounge chairs or needing a ticket for pool towels. Overall We had a good holiday and would return, but would stick to breakfast only next time and try the local restaurants instead

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.

This hotel is very recent. Beautiful, elegant and well-equipped in terms of services. What doesn't strike us as normal, however, is the lack of little touches for a hotel in this category. No shampoo, no q-tips, just the same gel for washing hands and in the shower. No shower cap. An empty fridge bar. We appreciate the coffee machine and the bottle of water, but one normal coffee capsule and 3 decaffeinated coffee capsules... not logical... We asked for a room with a bath when we booked (we were ”upgraded” without any request on our part, on a ”marina” view, but with a shower. As we are not very nice customers, we didn't say anything. The bedding is good. The pillows are quite thick, which can be uncomfortable for people with sensitive necks. 3 cushions are available, but they are all very dense. The road is very noisy, subject to a few car rodeos at night. I've heard that the rooftop is noisy in November, but fortunately this is not the case. The staff are friendly and respond to requests. The breakfast buffet is very comprehensive, but for the evening menu, this type of buffet seems less attractive, but will surely please some people. The spa is very good, at 12.5 euros for one hour (equipped swimming pool, sauna, hammam, etc.). There is a car park at the hotel for 6 euros a night, but free parking is available 200m from the hotel by the beach. All in all, then, this is a fine hotel with a lot of potential, but some details clearly need to be reviewed to make it really nice.

A beautiful hotel surrounded by magnificent gardens. We'd barely arrived when something unimaginable happened: a blackout on the Iberian Peninsula. The hotel managers responded in an exemplary manner: they provided information, provided everyone with a water bottle, and served cold meals and free grilled dishes in the restaurant in the evenings. The emergency generator also ran for a few hours. So, despite the uncertainty, we felt well looked after. Enjoying the sun by the beautiful pool area is also nothing to be sniffed at. The breakfast buffet was varied, including a good selection for vegans and vegetarians. We really enjoyed, among other things, the delicious, sweet fruit.

Great location, just a 5-minute walk from the city center. Our room overlooked the pool, with a glimpse of the sea in the background. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The room itself was large and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and polite.

The hotel is just 14 mins walking from the beach. The room was big and very clean. Breakfast is simple but you can find everything. There is sauna and gym, free parking.

Great experience! Very friendly and polite staff. We've arrived few hours early and our room was not available for early check-in so they still offered us the full use of amenities at no extra cost. The outdoor pool is on the smaller side but still lovely and you can usually find sun beds for relaxation. Wish the spa discount was larger for people staying in the hotel. However spa itself was lovely. Very clean and calming. It would be great if hotel guests had additional late night hours. We would've used it a lot more if it was available late! The room itself was was very clean and large. We didn't have a great view but in the end it didn't matter. The walking shower was great! Especially for getting rid off all the sand from the beach. Cleaning lady was lovely and paid a lot of attention to making sure our room felt fresh everyday. The breakfast had a large variety of choices, even for the vegans. The fresh orange juice was a highlight of every morning. But for the coffee you will probably want to go somewhere else. Food was delicious and all the fruit always looked incredibly fresh. Overall the hotel is definitely on the pricier side in the area but the experience definitely made it worth it!

Nice stuff and a really good experience in check in check out. The hotel is located close to the city centre and has an honest price. It's not the newest, as the floor and bathroom should be renovated but it's not so important if you are looking for a good, safe, cleaned place to stay for a very convenient price.

We were extremely pleased with our stay at AP Cabanas Beach & Nature. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our entire visit. Even in April, which is off-peak season, the hotel still offered a variety of activities, which made a huge difference and showed excellent organization. The breakfast was very comprehensive and high quality, and the room was surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Another big plus was the access to the beach via the free boat provided by the hotel—it was convenient and a really pleasant experience. The location is a bit further from the center, which might not be ideal for those looking for a lot of nightlife or quick commutes, but on the other hand, it offers a very calm and quiet environment, perfect for relaxation. Without a doubt, an experience we'd love to repeat.
