The mineral spa is amazing! We loved the snug too. Beautiful place to relax and stunning sun rises.
What could be improved: Nothing really, although we did get spammed by the hotel quite a bit in the run up to our stay via email and at one point we got a fraudulent email asking us to pay additionally to confirm our visit.

Amenities and relaxation
Robert from United States (22 July 2024)
Design, comfort, location, pool area, food in the pub, front desk, pool, and valet staff.
What could be improved: Food servers in Faro and pub (and hosted for pub) need more training and supervision so they are more attentive and welcoming. Faro seemed short staffed and poorly managed. Food at Faro was mixed.
