This was my sixth stay at this beautiful hotel, the first one was in 1971 when it was almost new, but of course it has had many upgrades and refits since!
It is still the same welcoming place with lovely, friendly staff especially on the front desk.
My room this time was upgraded to a suite, so definitely not complaining about that.
The breakfast buffet continues t be excellent, with a considerable variety of food and drinks to cater for all tastes.
The only downside on this visit was that the rooftop swimming pool has gone, (I was unaware of this in advance). The speedboat to the beach made up for it though, eight minutes rather than the old \"chugger-boats\" taking 25 minutes from the nearby pier.
As always I would highly recommend this hotel.

When booking take care that when you book marina view, the picture shows a balcony. They do not guarantee you will get one and there is no were they state this. Apart from this the hotel is ok, no parking for cars and no outside pool which is a shame.

The hotel is well located overlooking the marina and close to the main pedestrian streets. The entrance to the old town is very close

The top floor has great views from which is the breakfast room with a great selection. Also outside eating and relaxing areas.

Didn’t try the pool.

This was our 4th stay in the Eva Senses. The hotel is in a great position to explore Faro and if you book a marina room has lovely views. Our room waa very comfortable and clean. Breakfast is really good with plenty of choice. We used the free water taxis provided by the hotel to go to the beach. The driver was very friendly and informative, this is a great addition to the services provided.. Perhaps the best thing about the hotel is the staff. Every staff member we came across was so welcoming, helpful and above all proffessional, a real credit to the hotel. We will definately stay again

1. Airplanes constantly on landing approach directly overhead day and night.
2. This hotel LIED about having Air Conditioning. When we sweat through a night where it was only 58° outside with the fan blowing and still way too hot we checked with the front desk and they said “oh, no we don’t have air-conditioning.” this was specifically my search criteria for a hotel in Faro and listed as a current amenity of my room selection.
3. The breakfast buffet is superior. This is what you are really paying for.

Clean however walls marked and scraped in places. Needs some attention. Generally clean and ok. Breakfast was just warm and every morning I was having to wipe down the chair / bench before sitting due to food crumbs and mess on them. Location of hotel is excellent. On day of checking in I reported the safe did not work, and it was not sorted and I mentioned this again on checkout. We had two rooms so we used the other room safe, but it’s still not good enough.

The gentleman at the front desk was wonderful. Very helpful. The breakfast bar……..I’m celiac. The first morning I asked a staff member about gluten free. She kind of laughed, then pointed out the 3 supposedly hot things I could have. The pastries were beautiful, but nothing available for gluten free. The size of this breakfast buffet is nothing short of unbelievable. Celiac is not a choice. This is a disease. Vegetarian is easily available. Sent a msg to the hotel manager. He emailed back & said he’d talk to the kitchen manager.

Staff were pleasant and welcoming. We checked in quickly and were given earlier access to our room. We have stayed there before in a Marina view room, floor 3, which was lovely. This time I made the mistake of booking a city view room. We were on floor 1, facing the street. The traffic noise was awful and fairly constant. We couldn’t have the window open because of the noise and the hotel policy of no air conditioning in winter months meant it was too warm to sleep well. The room itself was fine. Comfortable bed. Very clean. Good shower room. Breakfast was included and was very good. Plenty of choice. Just avoid city view rooms!

This was our third visit. Good location and close to everything. Trip slightly spoiled as the usual hotel policy had been a free bottle of wine, left in the room for stays lasting four nights or more. Since we stayed for five nights we had thought a bottle might be waiting. When we checked out we queried whether the this was no longer the case. Reception informed us that we should have received a bottle. They then had an extended phone conversation with house keeping. And said as we booked with Expedia- no bottle. I needed to get to the airport and didn't have time to challenge. However we won't be staying here again.

Comfy beds. Good black out curtains. Room needs a chair by the little glass table. Good number of hangers. Good number of drawers to stow clothing. No obvious luggage rack. Opening a suitcase on the floor is awkward at my age. Opening up on a dresser top is rude and disrespectful. The tv remote is an unfamiliar style and not particularly intuitive so printed instructions would be appreciated. Safe is accessible and instructions are clear. Have stayed here before and will happily return.

We enjoyed staying at the AP Eva Senses Hotel - Faro, but they do have numerous problems that need to be addressed. First, the positives: great location, helpful front desk staff, clean rooms.
The negatives: Very small rooms, no individual air conditioning or heating (it is all controlled centrally - to cool off they tell you to open a windown or door!), very rude/unprofessional bar staff (both bars, 5th floor and ground floor, have very untrained and poor customer service), filthy/nasty bar tables and bar counter at 5th floor bar (had ants running all over the main bar). The bar staff and bar facilities need serious work!

Pros - good location. Nice facilities. Modern rooms. Plentiful breakfast.
Cons - noise, noise, noise. We paid extra for the balcony and marina view. The air con is controlled centrally. We visited in the winter and the room felt so hot and stuffy with the balcony doors closed. The aircon was automatically switched to heating mode and we were unable to switch it to air con mode, we can switch it off but it still felt stuffy. I woke up multiple times a night sweating. This meant we had to sleep with the balcony doors open. This meant noise all night especially at the weekend. There were people talking noises, shouting, buses, cars, trains, planes and general traffic noise. You can hear the cleaning ladies dragging their trolleys and moving furniture around the hotel.

The indoor pool is much smaller than expected and the water is cold. The jacuzzi and sauna are also small. There is a €10 per towel rental fee and €5 swimming cap fee (non refundable).

We had the misfortune of having to spend a night here on 23 Jan when our BA flight got cancelled

What 4 star hotel has no shampoo or conditioner or shower gel. All we got was hand wash

Both restaurants were closed for dinner so we had to eat outside

It was raining badly so we asked if we could borrow an umbrella. Told not possible

The small TV in the bedroom area had only 8 channels on it none of them English so why have it there ?

Rooms have thin walls so you can hear all the people around you talking.

Only one of the lifts was operational making the place hazardous and inconvenient

Breakfast had lovely views and food was ok but nothing special

Pool and top floor pool area was closed for renovations

Friendly reception staff, we arrived before check in time, our rooms were ready so we were able to go straight to them which was great after an early start. The view over the marina was stunning. The breakfast experience was lovely - good choice, eating outside in the sun with the view over the marina/sea, and pianist playing. We were given a flower each on our departure day, a nice touch. The only disappointments were that my daughter was unable to borrow an iron, which was bizarre- often there is one provided in every room, or at least one is available on request - and that the water in the indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi was quite cold. The sauna however was lovely. The bedding was good quality as were the blackout curtains, making for a good night's sleep.
