The not-so-good: Loud thumping from the rooftop cistern's shut-off valve (frequent during the day, thankfully much less frequent overnight); no Keurig or kettle in the room; a bit of a walk into town and to the beach. The good: My room was big and clean; the staff I dealt with were pleasant and helpful; the breakfast buffet was abundant and tasty; and there were useful amenities very nearby (most notably Happy Andorinhas (a.k.a. Café Happy Swallows) and Algartalhos Supermercados). As the good far outweighed the not-so-good, I would stay there again on a future visit to Quarteira. :-)

Room was very basic, no kettle, absolutely basic, someone’s t shirt left behind in the wardrobe, so no emphasis on cleaning. Pool was ok but busy, breakfast incredibly basic, had an early flight on the last day and sled a staff member for coffee, we had paid for breakfast and he didn’t even attempt to help, it was disappointing , overall would not stay there again, no value for money.

The hotel is far from faro city bus costs one way 5.50 and after 8 no buss go twords zodiac hotel. Uber is way cheaper than local tax . Uber cost around 13 euro but local taxi will charge you 35 euro. Bus stop is close to hotel like 3 minutes walk. Beach around 10 minutes.

Just returned from a 3 night very enjoyable stay.
It’s conveniently located if you want to visit other locations and only 8-10 minutes walk to the sea which had plenty of places to eat or sit and watch the gorgeous sunsets even in November
It’s a reasonable priced hotel with parking and included continental breakfast which was an added bonus
Our room was as shown on the website, very clean and comfortable bed, which was made up every day and towels changed
In general the hotel was spotless.
We didn’t use the pool although it was sunny it wasn’t
The hotel does have a restaurant but as it is quiet at this time of year it wasn’t open, the bar was and we did pop in the evenings prices were very reasonable.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful they gave us some good choices of restaurants to try.

One small niggle - the window in our bathroom let in light which lit up the room disturbing sleep this could be easily remedied with a blackout blind.
Also, tea & coffee in the room would be a good addition.

The staff member at the check in was not friendly and kind of sarcastic when asked questions about the check in process and the hotel. They do not provide a second card for the room when there are two adults which is very inconvenient since accessing the room becomes very complicated. The breakfast is included but very very basic. They have eggs but nothing hot to go with it. The coffee is really bad.

Bathroom shower floor was also very slippery and perhaps should include a rubberized bath mat. More than one chair in the room would also add to the comfort if there are two of you,

O hotel é bem localizado com bastante opção de restaurantes, comércio em geral nas proximidades. A equipe é bem acolhedora e o ambiente em geral agradável ! A piscina é excelente ! O restaurante é bom e o pequeno almoço estava bem ao nosso gosto. A única coisa a melhorar seria pensar mais no meio-ambiente e pararem de utilizar papel sobre as mesas. A troca de papel a cada cliente gera um lixo desnecessário. O banheiro do quarto é muito pequeno, a tampa do sanitário estava quebrada e sem ventilação.

The Hotel Zodiaco's rooms are small, but they have far more space dedicated to enjoying the facilities than most hotels. There is a pool table, 2 seating areas, a patio, pool with lots of chairs including ones that are covered, a bar and a large breakfast area and restaurant for lunch. The facilities are always clean and you can see the staff wiping down beach chairs, and cleaning walkways etc. The staff seem to take great pride in the facility. The hotel is about 4 blocks from the beach area and promenade which has a lot of restaurants, including Fantastico which has a small menu of great Indian choices. The hotel is great for families with all of the common space and the free and ample parking was a big bonus.

Well-serviced and Friendly Hotel

I stayed at Hotel Zodiaco with my family for two nights in Quarteira.

We arrived at the hotel ealier than our check in time. We were greeted by a friendly member of reception staff who allowed us to leave our luggage in the building until check in time. That way, we could stroll around Quarteira bag-free.

The rooms were small but perfect for us who spend most of our time out in the town. There is a bar that serves a variety of drinks (including Amarguinha!) and a pool table.

We had breakfast each morning and were happy with the variety on offer. The fruit could have been more fresh though, the apples and bananas were a bit overripe.

Some things we would like to see improved before we visit again: One of our bathrooms had a broken heater so the room kept fogging each time we had a shower. It would also be good if there were glass cups instead of paper cups for drinking. Also, there was no separate bins for recycling and regular waste which I think is important for the environment.

I would recommend Hotel Zodiaco to anybody looking for a stay at Quarteira who likes to spend a lot of time out and about in the town.

It was nice to see solar panels on the roof of the hotel but their benefits should be stressed somewhere in the hotel's brochure. I always welcome care for the environment.

It was a nice hotel and some nice staff etc. However, I was accused of smoking in my room (by letter put in by cleaning staff) because people smoked outside right below our window and if it was open, it came right into the room! They should also rethink where they locate families as it was me and my very young daughter! When I complained to the staff member about receiving the letter they just said to me that they are just \"doing their job.\" They might want to check things out properly before accusing people.
