Sambada Vacation Rentals

"Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms, facilities and restaurants are super clean and comfortable. Lovely atmosphere--This hotel is Oasis in oldtown Faro. We had a great time, thank you! "

"Rooms were enormous, beautiful, comfortable. Fabulous with families. One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in for a long time. Great variety at breakfast and staff all went above and beyond. "

"Rooms were very clean and spacious. Not overly busy (which we preferred). Close to the beautiful beach. Staff were always friendly and accommodating. Would love to go back. "

"Excellent stay in all aspects"

"The previous reviews left us with no expectations of what to expect but the staff, room and property exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful stay and would stay at this hotel again. "

"The service, amenities and location was excellent! The breakfast buffet was fantastic. We enjoyed seeing the sun rise each morning on the balcony. The beach was close proximity to the hotel. "

"We enjoyed our 3-night stay at the resort. The check-in was seamless and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend renting a vehicle, as the resort is quite aways from dining (other than resort options). Parking in the outside parking lot was free, as well as street parking. Parking underground was 12 euros per night. In October, we had no trouble finding a spot outside. The room was in the smaller side, but neat, clean and comfortable. Yes, there were a few ants in the bathroom, but it was understandable given the somewhat remote location close to nature. I would recommend bringing insect repellant, even in October, if you plan to eat outside in the evenings. The breakfasts were pretty good, with lots of options. We had the dinner buffet the first night for 29 euros per person - but for every other lunch and dinner, we went into Tavira or Faro. There were much better options with 4.8/5.0 reviews on google that were tastier and less expensive. If you have a choice, eat outside the resort. That being said, we would definitely stay here again. We did the yoga and the paddle boarding and enjoyed both activities. The yoga was very basic and certainly no comparison to yoga in any major North American city, but the beach was lovely. The paddleboards were the inflatable kind but I got the opportunity to work on my balance and their drag made sure I got a workout in. The resort is comparable to a 4.5 star resort in Mexico."

"Lovely selection of food. Very well presented. Very clean and efficient staff. Clean room although some items were missed."

"Excellent breakfast options and staff friendliness. Really enjoyed tennis lessons, playing tennis games and padel! Outdoor pool very clean also and ideal for a dip after sunbathing! Beautiful beach nearby! "
