We have just got back from a 5 day stay here . Our room was cleaned every day , it was very spacious. The beds are a bit hard . The staff are A* , the la cart restaurant was absolutely fabulous, plus the other restaurant was very good . Lovely pool area with enough beds and the walk to the beach was lovely . Definitely recommend and with it being our 1st visit to Portugal it made it a fabulous experience. Thankyou Sarah & Dave x

Had a ten day holiday, and it was wonderful. Olhos de Agua, at the 3HB Fakesia Gardens. Well that's what we thought. On arrival they upgraded us to the new 3HB Fakesia Beach 5 star at no extra cost. They were upgrading some of the guests as a treat. All I can say is..... Fantastico Fantastico Fantastico. Bit of a climb down to the beach and yes you have to come back up again. However we had a great time.

We loved our stay at Falésia Garden! The pool area always had sun loungers available and the beach is only a short walk down wooden stairs. We stayed in an apartment and it was spacious, had everything we needed. The breakfast buffet was really good with plenty of options - my only negative is that they didn’t have cold water. The water was from a water machine which wasn’t ice cold. The food in the restaurant was very good. Overall would highly recommend!
