Hotels With Gym in Faro District, Portugal

Experience started badly at check-in when they refused to add my wife to the booking as Trip.com’s mobile  “deal” was for one guest in room.  Snarky reception person rude and borderline hostile - this was our third stay at this property and as in the past, we felt a subtle bias against us as non-Portuguese.  The Front Desk Manager got involved and he refused to comp. me my wife’s addition to our room and said we had to pay euros 40 for her two day’s breakfasts.  He appeared unkempt with s dirty shirt and was unshaven .  His attitude was aggressive and disrespectful in the extreme.  We asked to be relocated to a higher floor from the 2nd floor and he informed me that there were no sea view rooms on upper floors.  This was patently a lie as the initial receptionist told me that the hotel was not fully booked. While I was in discussions with the front desk receptionist, a hotel guest came up and complained that her room was bery hot.  She was told by the same snarky receptionist that the aircon was off due to a system changeover and she should open her balcony door! When I asked the same question later on to another receptionist, he said that they could give me a fan.  She was and English lady and when a Portuguese guest arrived to check/in, that dame clerk was all over him with handshakes all around.  Other staff around the property didn’t seem overly friendly to guests as well. It is unforgivable for any hotel, let alone a supposed 5 star property, not to have its HVAC system operable and even worse, not to advise guests of the issue. Our room was spacious, if a little warm, but showed the ravages of time with chipped furniture and surfaces.  Also, not too impressed by the powdered coffee presented in the room, or a euros 3 charged for a bucket of ice. I cannot recommend this property for a stay in Portimao and there are a few other more undated hotels nearby.

I liked the accommodation, the size of the room, clean linen and towels, a large shower, good pressure of hot and cold water, music on TV, a large swimming pool. Breakfast is quite good, dinner too, no frills, but there is something to eat, there is fruit (pineapple, melon, watermelon and oranges), breakfast costs 7.5; dinner with a small bottle of wine cost me 25 euros. The reception staff is very attentive, they allowed me to change the date of breakfast and helped with the train schedule. The room was spacious and had a balcony.

Clean and modern building. This apartment has a great lobby and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The units are also extremely clean and have a lot of closet space. The beach, restaurants and shopping center were all within a 10 minute walk from our apartment. I highly recommend it. Just remember you don’t have the view of the ocean, but as I said the water is just around the corner from the building.

My experience was great, open pool, easy to park, in the summer it is worth the money, what I would change is the slightly uncomfortable pillow, average buffet breakfast, lacks a little more variety.

Our stay at The Editory By The Sea Lagos was amazing! ✔️ Very clean and well-maintained ✔️ Spacious and comfortable rooms ✔️ Wide variety of breakfast choices ✔️ The sauna, indoor pool, and outdoor pool are definitely a must-try ✔️ Great location — close to the town centre and beach ✔️ Quiet, relaxing, and perfect for a chill getaway One of the best places to stay in Lagos if you want a peaceful holiday while still being near everything. Would definitely stay here again.

I cannot fault this hotel at all. From the check-in to checkout we had a lovely stay, the room was lovely and the bed very comfortable, it was spotless as was the well equipped bathroom. Also I was surprised that the breakfast was so good, ripe fruit, cereals, pastries, meats and a hot selection too. I was extremely impressed with this hotel, I have stayed in other hotels which cost a lot more and they weren’t as good as this.

Check was fast, friendly and efficient. Room was very good. Large bed, safe balcony, very clean, tea and coffee making facilities in the room.Rituals toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was a hot and cold buffet with good choices in all areas. Pool looked clean but didn't use it. Dinner menu had a good selection of dishes but again did not use.

Lovely  new large hotel in a quiet area, not far from the W Algarve. The hotel was super clean, with large rooms, and the continental breakfast was decent with a good variety of options.I didn’t opt for the buffet dinner, as it was easier to order a nice burger from the bar, which was really tasty. I also tried the Portuguese steak sandwich, which just wasn’t to my liking, but the staff kindly changed it for the burger instead.The pool and spa areas were also spacious and well maintained.You do need an Uber or a car to get around, as there are very few shops nearby. There is one nice restaurant next door and a sports bar close by.The staff could have been a bit more enthusiastic or forthcoming with hotel information, although the manager Andrea, was especially helpful and lovely to talk to. As it was off-season, the hotel was very quiet, and the weather was a bit chilly, so the pools were not really in use. I would definitely visit again if the price was good.

It is located 30-40 minutes from the beach. Shop is 10 min away. Apartments has thin walls. Simple apartment for a great price. Had a good kitchen. Would book again.

Once called the Alvor Luna Bay when bedrooms seemed larger!!! Renamed and reshaped. Swishly refurbed as new. Now the main problem is the lack of storage in what seem smaller bedrooms despite voluminous balconies. Simply, storage is inadequate for two guests for longer than a week, maximum. Let me describe............ a small [4feet tall?] open metal wardrobe rail with five fixed point clothes hangers. Four or five open shelves beside this rail., one occupied by the rooms safe. In all other respects its fine. The staff good and plentiful and helpful. The location the best in town!
