Falesia Hotel - Adults Only

We've just returned from a very pleasant stay at hotel Falesia. Arriving at 10 am we took advantage of early check in @€20 and breakfast @€10 each. Our junior suite on the third floor was spacious with a lovely view over the adjacent Pine Cliffs resort and a distant glimpse of the sea from the balcony. Storage is plentiful, the bathroom with rainfall shower convenient and enormous bed very comfortable. Robes, slippers, water, tea and coffee are supplied and there's a small fridge. Maid service is daily and towels changed on request. Our only criticism is noise from adjoining and upper floor rooms (why on earth people drag furniture across the floor at midnight we'll never know). Food at both breakfast and dinner is exceptional. There's a vast choice of freshly prepared and frequently replenished dishes, you'd need to be extremely difficult to please if you couldn't find at least two of these items to eat, we found it hard to limit ourselves there were so many tempting things on offer. The communal rooms and reception appear to have recently been refurbished and have a fresh, current feel to them . The indoor pool and spa area will hopefully be included in the refurb soon. One shower in the ladies was out of order the entire time we were there, closed off with scruffy looking tape and part of the ceiling above the pool had been burned leaving a hole with bits hanging down. The area was clean overall and frequently checked. Outside the hotel is very relaxing, the pool has plenty of loungers, the gardens are immaculate and there's a waterfall and stream complete with frogs chorus and very lively carp. We've entitled this review 'over promises' because we feel we were given the impression that nothing is too much trouble, however you need to ask for any information at all. There's nothing about the surrounding area, nothing to tell you breakfast and dinner times or directions to the beach, people don't always want to.ask. The lift broke down on Wednesday afternoon it wasn't until Saturday evening when we asked if someone could help with our suitcases the following morning that a surprised member of reception staff wondered why we hadn't been using the service lift(we didn't know there was one). It would have made more sense to us to have signs to both the stairways and service lifts as soon as the main lift was out of order rather than leave it to guests to find their way. In short be proactive, not reactive. There are a couple of cafes and restaurants nearby and a short walk as you turn right out of the hotel leads you to a beautiful tree lined village square where you can sip a coffee in the shade before walking to the beach. Overall a relaxing holiday with plentiful good food and comfortable rooms made possible by the hard working restaurant, kitchen and housekeeping staff.

Back after our third visit. Loads of modernisation to the ground floor but the hotel qualities remain the same. The staff, all of them, are brilliant. As an adult only hotel there are no 'Duracells' running riot. Food is excellent with more choice than a restaurant menu and being a buffet you can add your choice with what you fancy. Rooms are of a good size. We pay a bit extra for a suite but even the standard rooms are fine. Never bothered with sound from other rooms or outside. The beach is a free shuttle or a walk away through the Pines resort. The grounds are poolside or lovely gardens with plenty of chairs and plenty of room. A large percentage of the guests return every year so that should be recommendation enough. Reading the very few bad reviews on Tripadvisor I can't believe they came to the same hotel as us. Thanks Falesia see you next year......

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in, Adults only therefore it was very quite and peaceful. Not a large hotel, only 4 floors but the pool and garden were lovely. On site Spa and Massage facilities were excellent. Evening entertainment very good and finally the staff, room and food were absolutely fantastic. We booked a half board package holiday with TUI, the food and drinks locally and in the hotel were very reasonable in prices.

I would like to thank Falésia Hotel for their hospitality during our stay last week. We truly enjoyed our rooms, pools and jacuzzi, nice breakfast and the live music every night. Great atmosphere and a lovely team. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends and hope to visit again soon. Thanks again

Everything about this hotel is spot on!! The staff especially enhanced our holiday experience, no question or task is too much! They genuinely enjoy making customers comfortable and happy! We stayed half board, plenty choices for breakfast and dinner, catering for many dietary requirements. My sister and I have a nut allergy and everyday the head chef took the time to walk us round each food options advising us which ones to avoid. The hotel itself is spotless, the rooms are spacious with a walk in shower!!! The location is good, we took a taxi everywhere but there is a shuttle bus and local buses just a short walk from the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I will stay here again....hopefully next year!!!

If you like a luxury, quiet hotel then go for this one. Fantastic value for money and a nice quiet location. Plenty of sunbeds around the pool and garden area, so no need to leave towels on them, which is a pet hate of mine. Room we had was the usual set up for 4 star hotels with nice views from the balcony. Breakfast was fantastic with a very good selection to cater for all. All the staff are well mannered and were also glad to help you. The hotel is kept spotlessly clean both inside and outside and comingfrom a gardening back groundi was very impressed with the garden areas. I have started to look and book this hotel for April next year which is something I haven't done in the past. Entertainment in the evening was very good although we have only tried it on 1 night so far. We took a taxi to the Old Town in Albufiera and it only cost us 12 euros each way. The hotel does put on a shuttle to the town at a cost of 10 euros each return but you are restricted to their times and for a few extra euros you can go and return when it suits you. Reception did organise the taxi for us which picked us up just outside the lobby. We will be definitely returning to this hotel.

I stayed here with my husband and we absolutely loved it. We've been to the algarve now a couple times and this is by far one of the best hotels we have stayed at. Rooms were clean, service and staff were very nice and location is also fantastic. My husband and I went to the bar to end our Wednesday night and we watched some of their entertainment, which was also incredible. We saw a singer and a couple dancers and we loved it so much! I absolutely recommend this hotel, 5 stars from us.
