Oh my goodness, myself and my husband cannot rate this hotel highly enough. It is pure perfection. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, the food, ambiance and hotel/room was more than perfect. There is absolutely nothing negative to say. Thank you so much for for a fantastic stay. We will definitely be back!

Perfect hotel for overnight stay close to Faro Airport. We landed close to midnight and walked to the hotel in 10 minutes. Clean rooms, comfy beds, breakfast and pool then checkout at noon. Great place.

Most enjoyable stay with friendly staff, well appointed apartment for the price and great swimming pool with it's own bar, delightful cocktail barman, Rudi, (check out his Sangria!) and poolside dining facilities. Also the main restaurant, Bobby Jones Grill and Bar was first class where the decking outside overlooks the golf course set in beautiful umbrella pines. Late afternoon 'happy hour' is a must! We also had several breakfasts in the coffee bar by reception and 'full English' was just that...

Lovely stay with all the comforts but there was a mix up as we went to check out, i went to settle a bar bill and was presented with a full bill for the accommodation as well as the bar bill. The accommodation had previously been paid at the time of booking.

Great airport stopover
We had a very pleasant one-night stay at ibis Faro. Extremely convenient for the airport, clean and comfortable, and exactly the reliable standard you expect from ibis. Perfect for an overnight stay before or after a flight. Would happily stay again.

The hotel was comfortable, clean and bright. It's main 'attraction' for me was not the waterpark, (which is included in the price and is excellent), but it's staff. They rescued us by sending my daughter's mobile phone in a taxi, to the airport when we realised two hours before departure that she had unfortunately left it in the room!
Food at the hotel was reasonable and there were local restaurants a short stroll away from the hotel.
Two drawbacks are that there is no free wifi in the rooms...

Chose this hotel as it was close to the beach and nature reserves. Beach was closed for maintenance but we were able to skirt round and walk for miles! Reserve nearby was full of birds, including a pair of Hoopoes, which made my holiday. Hotel staff are attentive and rooms comfortable and clean. We stayed in the older part of the hotel but found the room perfectly acceptable, with a nice view from the balcony. Food was very high standard, not the cheapest but well worth the price in my opinion.

We last stayed at Hotel Monaco 16 years ago. It hasn't changed much, but its been refreshed.
We stayed for one night as its really close to the airport and convenient if you have a morning flight but dont want to get up early from your main location. Really easy to find and plenty of parking outside.
Lovely rooms and the bar serves quite good food at reasonable prices.
Guy behind thd bar was lovely, se sat outside by the pool and he was happy to set us up to eat there. Nice breakfast in the...
