Sotavento hotel guide. Real Hotels Portugal hotel in Sotavento, Faro District

"Comfortable room. No bar - but beer, snacks available at reception to take to room. Easy to walk to from airport. Would use again. Good for stopover between flights."

"My stay at Occidental"

"Everything was good "

"Wonderful buffet breakfast with fresh fruit, great coffee and an amazing assortment of choices. "

"From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and happy to help in whatever way possible. The room was clean and really new and the staff tidied it every day. We were really impressed with the cooking facilities in our room- we didn't do any cooking but there was a hob, kettle, microwave and everything you would need to cook basic meals with if you were staying longer. The pool area was lovely and so quiet, we were the only ones using it most days (the weather wasn't great to be fair!). The free coffee facilities were brilliant and we ordered the breakfast box one morning and it was good value for money and very tasty. Super convenient for everything you'd need in faro - close to the old town and the marina area, and only ten mins from the airport. Would reccomend getting an uber from and to the airport as cheaper than a taxi. Would highly recommend this hotel and if we come to faro again we'll absolutely stay here!"

"We really love the hotel,, very relaxed atmosphere , clean, staff were very helpful and smiling all the time. Swimming pool was really well maintained, sun bed were comfortable. "

"Staff are very helpful, hotel needs a bit of more maintenance in the bathrooms, spa gets crowded and pool was not that clean! But overall we would stay again in the hotel"

"We’ve just returned from a wonderful Easter stay at Domes Lake Algarve Autograph Collection Hotel and were genuinely impressed throughout. From arrival, the reception team — Francisco, Miguel, Francisca and Nadia — were warm, professional and welcoming. Breakfast each morning was a highlight, with all staff providing friendly, attentive service, in particular Mona and Margarida alongside a great selection of food. We spent a lot of time at the pool bar and restaurant, where Helder, Pedro and Samuel created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere with excellent service. The beautiful Acosta beach restaurant was another standout, with Ricardo, Valdir, Paulo and Jessica delivering a superb dining experience in a stunning setting. What really stood out was the consistency — every member of staff we encountered was friendly, professional and a true asset to the Domes brand. Thank you to the whole team for such an enjoyable stay — we hope to return soon! "

"Good bedrooms and a very comfortable hotel with good staff and amenities. "
