Pure Formosa Concept Hotel | Hotel in Olhao, Faro District

“Lovely hotel in a nice location. The rooms were spotless clean but very small. We were unable to open our cases. The roof top pool is a lovely addition but unfortunately we didn’t use it as the water was very cloudy and there was hair and cream floating on top. We don’t think the pump was working so cooled down using the shower.”

“Loved this hotel, staff very helpful and friendly. The Rooftop bar and pool was lovely, always managed to get a lounger despite it being peak season. Great food and cocktails. Ideal location, short walk to the town. Nice and quiet would definitely return.”

“The hotel is very nice. I totally remodeled. The rooms are soundproof and you cannot hear a single thing. Great location and a great staff. Would definitely stay there again.”

“Amazing stay, the property is in a great location and all staff was wonderful.”

“Really excellent experience, staff very helpful and friendly. Roof top pool lovely with a great view.”

“Couldn’t fault it for location and price. Clean bright and modern. Super breakfast”

“Our superior room with a balcony was wonderfully comfortable. The small fridges in these rooms is a game changer as the hotel doesn’t have a restaurant ( although it does offer a cold buffet for breakfast) so stocking up with snacks for lunch etc is important. Olhao is a charming working fishing port with some good restaurants. These range from tapas to local vernacular through to higher end gourmet offerings. The front desk staff are good at recommending in form restaurants. The rooftop pool & bar is a great feature of this hotel. It affords panoramic views of the town and the islands of Armona ( great beaches a 10 minute ferry ride away) & Cultara. This is our fourth visit so we like it!”

“So this is our 3rd visit , really like hotel.. location, staff are great. Rooms are clean and well equipped but some are so tiny it’s actually ridiculous. It’s hit or miss with the rooms in my opinion. Pool area tiny .. lovely but way too small for amount of guests..”

“Really warm welcome and helpful tips for our stay in Olhao from the staff. The pool and rooftop bar area was relaxing with well priced drinks and snacks. The room was super clean with a powerful shower, effective blackout curtains, efficient air conditioning and very comfy mattresses and pillows. It is central and easy to access. The room (standard size not premium) might be a little small for a long stay with not much storage space but this was expected from the stated size on hotels.com and suited us well for a short stopover. Would recommend to anyone travelling to Olhao. Thank you!”

“Nice pool area but no where to sit cos, as usual, people take over the loungers and leave their towels even when they leave for whatever reason so that others can’t use them. We also had to hear all the flushing toilets from rooms above us. Otherwise room was clean, beds comfortable but the pillows didn’t suit us”
