ibis Faro Algarve

"it was not my first time here. I was, as in previous visits, looking for some days of relaxation. the staff tries the impossible to please guests, but some guests would rather be banned from any hotel. the hotel is now being the place for cheap flights' people, looking for get drunk and get a sunburn as well. Loud people, swearing words, dropping cigarettes' ashes on the fake grass, where babies fall, hands and face on. instead of just complaining, I am suggesting the management to apply the following rules, so that guests looking for a quiet and nice atmosphere are not surprised with these trolls: HIRE more staff members; the pool area needs permanent staff to enforce good behaviour, as the hotel does not distinguish, everyone is accepted, so all guests have the right to enjoy the hotel; the bar at the pool is most of the time without anyone to serve drinks or re-enforce behaviours; HIRE more staff; drinks at the pool area should come in acrylic glasses as broken glass is not seen in the fake grass; smokers should be considerate of non-smokers and look for a spot to smoke away from guests looking for relaxation; all common areas (lift, corridors, bar and reception inside, bar and pool outside) should have a sign making it compulsory for guests to use headphones for all sound coming out of their electronics, so that silent guests can also enjoy their stay; staff working at breakfast time should dispense the same products whoever they are (some days we have seeds, others not); the same staff working at breakfast should be in the room (at least one of them); not staying the whole time inside the kitchen; at the end I am sad to say I have to look for another hotel in Faro, possibly in the centre, noisier but preferable, even if more expensive, if the price prevents the horrible people I shared space with from staying there."

"Used this hotel as a one night stopover. Only a few minutes drive from the airport. We arrived very tired and didn’t want to go far for food. We ate in the bar/ restaurant and it was surprisingly very good. I had pizza and it was very tasty. My husband had the specials, dishes of the region and he said they too were lovely. Didn’t sit outside or enjoy a swim as there were biting insects at the time but it all looked nice. Room was clean and the staff were pleasant and efficient. Excellent for the night."

"We used the hotel the night before flying home as it is relatively close to the airport and our car rental dropoff. Check in was efficient. The room was small but met our needs a d came with a bottle of water. We also had the pleasure of spending an afternoon poolside. The garden pool is a decent size, nice temperature and had ample loungers and seating."
