It was a breath of fresh air to stay at the IFA Faro Hotel, we were made welcome from the time we entered the reception area with our luggage until the day we departed for home. Attention to detail was incredible and the service in all areas was exceptional. The breakfast was superb, an incredible selection and the waiters and waitresses so friendly and attentive, as was all the reception staff, concierge and chambermaids. I am so looking forward to my next visit and would love to bring other family members along to also enjoy the wonderful IFA Faro hospitality. We requested an upgrade on our room before we arrived and on arrival were given room 1507 on the 5th floor, with fabulous views over the sea and the most glorious sunsets every evening. Room was very spacious, well furnished with superbly comfortable double bed, spacious balcony with two sun loungers, small table and two chairs. The lovely swimming pool along with a large jacuzzi, so well situated, just a few steps away from the beach. We were on bed an breakfast basis, as we we were advised of the wealth of lovely restaurants in the Lopesan Boulevard just a short walk beyond the lighthouse. Saying this we could see that the guests that were on half or full board said that the lunch, dinner and pool bar areas all provided delicious food with varied menus, at all times. A great hotel, food, location, service, facilities all of the highest standard. Highly recommended.
