A lovely 5 star hotel in the center of Faro. Great design, nice large rooms, friendly staff, nice little gym. We loved it. The parking is also made easy (given it's location in the center where cars are not allowed).

I enjoyed my stay so much, I extended with an extra night. The rooms are spacious, beautiful and clean. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet and dinner buffet were great (normally I’m not a huge buffet fan) and so many options to choose from. There’s an adult only section outside with a pool and the loungers are so comfy, great part of the hotel to chill. There was entertainment and activities (even in “low season”), great ambiance and drinks at the bar, everything was simply perfect!

Our time at Aquashow Park Hotel was fantastic from start to finish. The moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome — friendly smiles at reception, quick check-in, and a sense that nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotless, modern, and surprisingly quiet, with a balcony overlooking the pool. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay — great beds, strong air conditioning, and thoughtful touches that made a difference. Breakfast deserves a special mention: fresh fruit, good coffee, local pastries, and plenty of choice for both kids and adults. Every morning felt like a good start to the day. But what really stood out was the staff. From the restaurant team to housekeeping, everyone was kind, helpful, and genuinely cared that we were having a good time. A special thank-you to Ted, who was amazing with the kids — creative, patient, and full of light. From baking sessions to painting and playful moments, he made every child feel seen and included. You rarely meet someone who brings that kind of gentle energy and genuine warmth to their work. The location is ideal — close to Vilamoura and Quarteira, and just a short drive to beautiful beaches and restaurants. Aquashow Park Hotel strikes the perfect balance between fun, comfort, and relaxation. We left with big smiles, lovely memories, and a promise to come back.

FAQs about hotels in Algarve

Sun and Fun in the Algarve

A paradise of yellow sandstone cliffs and turquoise waters that's full of green golf courses and seasoned with delicious food and rich history, the Algarve region in Portugal has lively spots, quiet corners, and inland areas that well deserve a visit. From the banks of the Ria Formosa lagoon in the east, to the high cliffs of Sagres on the southwest tip of Europe, the region is a great option for a sunny holiday and Booking.com will help you find the best hotels in the Algarve.

The name of this Portuguese region comes from the Arabic Al-Gharb, meaning ‘The West’, but before being part of the Moorish empire, it was inhabited by ancient tribes, and successively by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, and Visigoths.

When it officially became part of Portugal, it gained fame as a centre for trade. The beautiful city of Lagos still offers a picturesque and colourful historic centre that recalls its important position in the area.

Flying into Faro Airport puts the whole region at your fingertips. The best all-inclusive hotels in the Algarve include their own golf course, an activity very popular in this region. If you just want sea and sun, then keep an eye on our deals for the best beach hotels in the Algarve.

The reasons why we always come back to São Miguel are the Human and Landscape factors. We love the bungalows in the freshness of the pinewood forest, the proximity of incredible cliff beaches the restaurant and the care in all things. On the other side of the balance, is the Team, young, intelligent and attentive. A special thank to Mr Raj, whom we had the privilege to know, and to attend to His Yoga Class, in camp. A mention to Mr Edson with His Bicycle library, in camp. We will be back. Thanks.

I did not visit the new town but the old town has beautiful restaurants and lovley cobbled streets. The price of the food was not what I would consider cheap. I found the entertainment overwhelming with so many competiting bars with music/karaoke coming onto the streeet from each one. It is mostly geared towards young people. I would not recommend it for elderly people or people with young families. The beach is lovely but the waves were extremely strong so for that reason I feel it would not be safe for young families to swim.

We went for a sunset boat trip which was excellent and our highlight in Faro was a tile painting workshop at 900atelier (which we’d recommend to anybody!).

This property is in a quiet area called Vale do Telha NOT actually in Aljezur which is about 8 kms or 5 miles away. The actual town is very nice in the old parts with a busy main street then there is the completely separate new town about 1km from the old where the supermarket and other facilities are. The old town has the castle, narrow and steep cobbled streets and pathways which are great for exploring. The old town is pretty boring.

Lovely location. Quiet but still lots to do with lovely little shops and restaurants, The beach is long and gorgeous though the drag in the water might be a bit strong for kids. There was a lot of golfers there so i'm assuming the golf is ok. Great location probably a week would be enough to see all you need to see.

Tavira is a magical place ,so much to discover or revisit time after time. Try the little tourist train......best ever train we have enjoyed! In just one journey we saw flamingos, tropical gardens and the church and castle steeped in history. Highly recommend the Fado experience by the church. It made the hairs on my arms stand up. So melancholy but inspiring at the same time. We always take the ferry over to Ilha de Tavira. Only costs a few euros to visit a beautiful island with white beaches and clear blue sky. Take a swim in the ocean or in the warm waters in front of the island. Very safe too. It inspired us to book a holiday to the Caribbean......Ilha de Tavira won hands down!!! Very close by is Praia de Barril, The Cemetary of Anchors beach. Absolutely fascinating to see all the anchors of forgotten fishing boats embedded in the sand dunes. Can get there by car or bus.

A quiet and pretty small village that remains authentic.

A quiet and pretty small village that remains authentic. A great place for a short visit if you like to avoid the crowds or to look for accomodation if you plan to explore the gorgeous 'vicentina' coast, with car access to many great beaches. Most of these beaches are likely to be too 'wild' for most people, with difficult access, but they are perfect for the more adventurers and, again, for those who prefer to avoid the crowds. Plus, there are a few places in the village centre where you can enjoy a really tasteful light meal, of which I'd definitely reccommend the restaurants 'Ao Largo' and 'Casa Verde'.
