Occidental Faro offers spacious rooms filled with natural light, some of which open onto a balcony. All rooms come with a TV with cable channels and a minibar. The private bathrooms include free toiletries.
On the rooftop of the Hotel, in the Ria Formosa restaurant, a fresh and varied breakfast buffet is served daily. Lunches, snacks and dinners are also served here, always with an impressive view over the Ria Formosa. The Hotel has half-board, if you wish to ensure your meals at the time of booking
The Faro Old Town is just a 3-minute walk away. Here guests can visit the Sé Cathedral and the Archaeological Museum. The pedestrian shopping streets of Faro's downtown are around the corner and Faro International Airport is 7 km away.
During Summer, Hotel Faro provides a free shuttle service to its Beach Club, in Praia de Faro (9 km from the Hotel). This service is subject to availability and your reservation must be made during check-in at the hotel. There is also a boat service, at an additional cost, to the pristine beaches of Ilhas Deserta, Farol and Culatra, allowing a unique experience through the preserved channels of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
