Istana di Distrik Faro

"Nice room, but could be updated. Found a lot of ants in the room and the blanket was thin with an old thick wool blanket underneath between the sheet and the blanket. Seemed strange for a 5 star hotel - a comforter or duvet would be nice."

"We had trouble at check- in. The family room we had reservations for that we booked 6 months prior to our arrival was not available. We had to argue to get what we paid for. The property in the end gave us two rooms for my family of four, but I would have liked to our single family room so we were all together. Two rooms would not have worked if my kids were too young to stay alone. The hotel breakfast was pretty good. The beds were firm, but comfortable. The air conditioning worked pretty...

"It was a great resort, all of the food was incredible and the Ocean restaurant (2 Michelin stars) was incredible. At the time I was pregnant and they were so accommodating on changing items as I needed to. The resort itself was impeccably managed and the staff supremely helpful in getting reservations, spa appointments and general needs. The breakfast was also great as it was included.

"It's a very clean property with great amenities between the pool, bar and dining facility. The breakfast is included and was awesome. The staff are very helpful and friendly, all of them. Room was great, we really loved it and will be back. I can highly recommend it to other travelers."

"Very nice location"

"The beds are not comfortable it's like a hostel except you don't share a room with anyone. I definitely overpaid."

"While we enjoyed our stay, this resort is tired and dated. I expected a luxurious resort and did not find that. It just feels old and in need of renovations and improvements. We were very disappointed with the accommodations. The first room we had didn't look anything like the photos so they kindly moved us to a larger villa, but that was of equal vintage and while larger, was further away and isolated. The staff however was very kind and helpful."

"Amazing! Staff, location, and everything was perfect! Can’t wait to be back!"

"I liked everything, the venue and hospitality are amazing."

"Servicio y atención"

"Good location and luxury accommodation in a tourist area, opposite expansive beach and close to many shops and restaurants. Good facilities in the rooms and large balconies. Great breakfast options with sparkling wine available! Pool was rather small for the size of the hotel."

"Lovely hotel with beautiful views and direct access to the beach. The restaurants serve delicious food and the restaurant staff are very nice and attentive. We were disappointed that WIFI is sketchy across the resort, Room Service was difficult to reach and its petty to charge 5 euros to have a bucket of ice delivered!"
