Great location - right on the main hub- as close to old town with out being inside the walls and totally walkable are with tons of great food and atmosphere for all types and levels of activity Hotel staff were great and the rooms were perfect for us.

Excellent location and great facilities.

Friendly staff and great breakfast! Enjoyed the heated pool on windy days and the spa facilities (wet and dry sauna). Would return!

Great location and lovely roof top bar

Very clean well positioned hotel, pool area was small and very few sun loungers, the only disadvantage we found

We had a full size fridge. Maid was exceptionally good. We left her tips daily. Very clean. Parking was perfect. Under the building. Pool was great, 2 of them outside. Great location. Groceries beside. Beach a walk away and HUGE. Restaurants there were exceptional. Boardwalk to the water and up the beach. Perfect.

Have stayed at the hotel many times and like the location, rooms and rooftop restaurant and pool. Enjoyed our latest stay but under the new ownership, breakfast buffet selection not as strong and room cleaning sometimes as late as 5pm and beyond

I appreciated that the desk staff were multilingual. The breakfest was fabulous. And I really liked the free upgrade.

The male servers working the roof top deck were terrable. It took for ever to get service and drinks. We had to go to the bar and pick up our drinks. We asked for a food menu and he dropped it off and never came back to place an order. Most of the other tables experienced the same terrable service. This was the first place while in Portugal were we never left a tip.

Great reception staff. Rooftop is nice but chairs are not comfortable and menu should include small snacks. Nice breakfast. Comfy bed but pillows weren’t that great.

Good room and good breakfast. But, strong and unpleasant odor on the first floor where our room was located. No issue in the room. Walking from the elevator to the room was the worst of the odor. Good terrace bar on the 4th floor with marina view and old city view.

In a perfect position, this hotel is a top pick for central Faro.

Perfect location. Excellent rooms and amenities. Very helpful staff.

We found the hotel to be of great quality, and the staff was very helpful. It also boast a very scenic location. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to my fellow travelers!

Fantastic location. Staff a little grumpy. Room was nice but small. Shower leaked and staining on curtains. No view from balcony except a rooftop.

Great proximity to harbour and old town. Nice staff. Amazing breakfast! We had issue with the AC not cooling the room enough.

We came into Portugal after many hours of travel and our accommodations were the most comfortable nights sleep, the bed and the pillows. We did the breakfast the next morning, and it was exceptional, something for everyone. We also visited the bar in the evening for a drink and had wonderful service, helpful recommendations, and great options.

We got a room change when I reacted to fresh paint smell

My stay at Occidental

Excellent
