Falésia Hotel - Adults Only

Really impressed with this hotel. It’s very clean, well-decorated, and modern throughout — I’m honestly not sure where some of the other negative comments online were coming from, as our experience was excellent from start to finish. Staff were polite and genuinely helpful the whole stay. Breakfast had a great selection to suit all needs. We didn’t try the evening meal so can’t comment on that, but everything else more than made up for it. We used the spa and the treatments were excellent value for money. The pool area was spotless and there were plenty of sun loungers available, so no issue finding a spot to relax. The gardens were beautiful, and there was lovely outside seating in the evenings too — a really nice touch for relaxing after dinner. Overall a great quality adults-only spa hotel — would happily stay again and have booked for next year.

On arrival was able to check in even though early, room was upgraded to a garden view which was appreciated. The rooms are clean and well maintained, mostly quiet although someone was thumping around above us, but it wasn't annoying enough to complain. Breakfast was as expected, pleasant with an outdoor eating area, sparkling wine and usual offerings, and it was never overly busy, and they replaced items if you asked, breakfast is also on until 11am which is great. Dìd not use pool but gardens and pool area are nice to relax in, no loud music. Service at the bar/restaurant was sketchy, some excellent staff and others clueless. Service charge is added at end of stay, so pay as you go is my recommendation. Shuttle service to the lovely beach, could do with a few more collection/drop off times, but the walk back is quick if not a bit hilly at the start. The reception team and staff around the hotel, breakfast team and spa team are lovely, Ceila on reception & Sam in the spa in particular. Our first stay here was in 2019, 7 years later, there are some improvements, fire pit relaxation area is nice touch and would be welcome if visiting during the cooler months. Didn't try the buffet restaurant as it wasnt great in 2019 and the reviews this time around show not much improvement. There is a newish restaurant on site which we didn't try as closed for 2 of our 4 days. A couple of decent Portuguese restaurants a five minute walk away. Opposite pine cliffs resort.

Too. Was lovely and clean. The gardens were beautiful. Went in August and no problem finding sun beds. Tapas at the pool was some of the best I’ve had. Staff were friendly and helpful. The perfect place to unwind.
