Cabo de Santa Maria Island, Portugal hotel rooms at the Independent

"Amazing place and reminds me so much of 5 star hotels in Dubai. "

"The front desk staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The breakfast had lot of great choices and delicious. We had a nice little view of the marina there. "

"Property and staff is fantastic. Amazing place to spend some time. Food on resort is pricy and beach service was somewhat slow. Otherwise a fantastic stay with really nice hotel rooms. "

"My sister and I stayed at your hotel in Faro for two days and we had a very warm and wonderful time there. We are especially grateful to Manager Antonio and Peter (I hope I remembered his name correctly—my apologies if not)., who were both so kind to us. The other staff members were also extremely kind, which truly touched us and made our stay so memorable. Thank you very much for making our visit so enjoyable."

"Unusual setting at the top of a shopping centre but a great hotel with handy shops underneath. Interesting modern architecture inside the hotel too. Staff all good and professional. Room was comfortable if perhaps a little dark. Hotel has a few hangout areas and also an outdoor terrace. "

"Lots to do"
