Barrocal hotel guide. Independent hotel in Barrocal, Faro District

"The room was amazing: clean, spacious, and had a balcony with perfect views of the ocean and the pool area. Breakfast was typical and satisfying. I would not hesitate to stay here again!"

"Lovely resort in a modern design and a unique spot close to the beach. We stayed in a partial view double room and had amazing views, and housekeeping left a small treat each night at the turn down service which was a really nice touch. The breakfast was really lovely and worth adding on. The pools could have been kept a little warmer (we were there in the last week of Apr). Staff are lovely and try very hard though bear in mind everything in Portugal is slower paced if you are coming from bigger cities. Some lovely restaurants on site but also in nearby Sagres and Vila do Bispo. Thoughtfully designed for families with children. Caters to lots of activities including tennis, padel, road cycling etc "

"This property and entire experience was excellent. The staff at the hotel and restaurant are really extraordinarily good. The food was excellent both for breakfast and at the restaurant. The pool is beautiful and people were using it while we were there even though it was mid April and lovely warm. This is a wonderful find and we look forward to going back. The grounds are beautifully maintained and there is a farm animal area to visit which is lovely and fun!"

"Wonderful hotel. Fresh tasty buffet breakfast - not a thing to complain about there except if you were staying for more than 3/4 nights it may be nice to have a little more variety. For me yogurt fruit cheese and bottomless coffee was perfect! Lovely friendly staff who give the best service and advice. Rooms could be slightly updated with chips and scrapes in furnishings, but had a nice the rustic feel. It would be really nice if the rooms had fridges and kettle. Overall a brilliant stay! "

"This hotel is an absolute gem! Extremely clean, great breakfast, convenient location- everything was just spot on. I will definitely return."

"great location and views - good property"

"We went through the online check in process and got annoyed once as it didn't save my progress when the kid grabbed my phone and minimized the app. It did make access smooth but wasn't necessary as there was staff at the front desk when we arrived (we weren't sure we would be in time for that). Really convenient grocery store around the corner and plenty of free parking but off season the restaurants were all closed most of the time (not really our thing to eat out but thought I'd mention it because we saw people wandering looking for food). We walked to the fort after driving to the lighthouse the day before and seeing how it was on the way. Awesome nature preserve accessed by going through the fort with a wonderful walk and views."

"Room was great with morning sun on the balcony/terrace. Staff not particularly friendly but gave out essential info. "

"Great location in Sagres, near 2 beaches and central to shops, etc. Very scenic. Front desk staff friendly "
