Aqua Pedra dos Bicos Design Beach Hotel - Adults Friendly
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel in a great location with easy walkable access to the beach. Very clean, spacious rooms with comfy bed. Friendly & accommodating staff. Great Pool area for relaxing and sunbathing. Overall great vibe & great experience as a solo traveller at this hotel. Would definitely stay again. "
"Perfect place for family three nights away with teenagers.We spent most of the days at the pool by the Casa Azul, lovely breeze, never busy, and handy snack bar for drinks and food right there. Its a little hilly so prob not the best for anyone with mobility issues. Ate breakfast both mornings at the Alfarroba restaurant. (Tip: ordering off the a la carte menu is better value than the buffet but that nay have been because we got the buffet one day as it seemed to be finishing up). Mini market on the site stocks anything you need. Kids played mini golf one evening. The resort is not really walking distance to anything in the heat…maybe had it been cooler and we were there longer, we would have attempted to walk to old town. Ubers were about 6-8 euro into the old town or the strip and were easy enough to get- no waiting. We booked a three bed apartment that was in great condition but had slight sign of wear and tear, mainly with the light in the bathroom not staying on and one plug socket that had come away from the wall. Apartment had everything you could possibly need (washer, ironing board, good kitchen with dishwasher). Bathrooms seemed pretty new and shower had great water pressure. It was advertised as having one bathroom but when we got there, there were two which was a pleasant surprise with 5 people! Tip 2: We ordered groceries and food via Uber eats since it was late when we got there. Overall I was delighted with our time here and the facilities- perfect for us! "
"Our stay at Kimpton Atlântico Algarve was incredible. Our room looked brand new and the garden view was stunning. The staff were very accommodating and the service was amazing. The amenities this hotel offered were incredible as well. If you are looking for a relaxing 5 star hotel holiday, this is the right place. We would definitely come back! "
"A lovely clean hotel, very comfortable rooms, comfy bed, lovely bathroom with great shower. Great choice at breakfast and beautiful rooftop pool area with bar and great loungers. Staff fabulous and great location. We'll definitely return. Would definitely recommend. "
"Had a great time even though weather conditions permitted us to enter some of the caves which is not usual but Mike the “Viking” made it eventful and gave us some great knowledge. Loved his energy. Would book again :-)"
"Fabulous. Very safe area and the locals are friendly. The hotel itself is super clean, the staff is attentive, and the accommodations are nice.
We stayed in August so the room was a bit hotter than I would have liked, but not uncomfortably hot. "
"Not located on the beach as I thought. The hotel is beautiful and not far from the old town.
Would definitely recommend this lively hotel.
Breakfast is fantastic!"
"Location great, breakfast super, roof top pool amazing, some of the roof top furniture could do with fixing .
Rooms were lovely and clean.
Staff friendly and helpful. "
"Great hotel. Good location. Good breakfast
Outside breakfast area a bit basic. Could be improved with some planting etc. Pool and bar area beautiful by contrast.
First visit but will definitely be back. "
"We recently had the pleasure of staying at the newly opened Viceroy Ombria Algarve, and it exceeded our expectations in nearly every way.
From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome—genuinely friendly, attentive, and always eager to help without being intrusive. The architecture is truly a standout feature: modern yet rooted in the local aesthetic, with beautiful design touches throughout that made the entire property feel luxurious and unique.
The pools were absolutely incredible—serene, well-designed, and perfect for relaxing under the Algarve sun. The entire hotel is spotlessly clean, and every space feels modern and updated, clearly reflecting the care that went into its recent opening.
We also spent some time at the spa, which was nothing short of perfection. From the ambiance to the quality of treatments, it was a top-tier wellness experience.
The on-site restaurants were also excellent. Each meal we had was flavorful and beautifully presented, with a variety of options that catered to both local and international palates.
One important note for future guests: the hotel is located in the countryside, so it’s a good 30–45 minutes by car to the coastal Algarve towns and beaches. A rental car is definitely recommended if you plan to explore beyond the resort. That said, we actually appreciated being away from the busy tourist areas—it made for peaceful evenings and a more authentic connection to the region. We used the hotel as a relaxing base for day t"
"Modern well appointed rooms. Good sized pool area and often very quiet. Excellent breakfast and short five minute walk to the beach. Not
many families when we stayed and more couples. About a twenty minute walk into the main town or around five euros in a taxi. Would definitely recommend this hotel it was great and we would definitely go back."
"Loved everything about this property. Views and property were beautiful, rooms were spacious, modern, and quiet, easily walkable to a great beach (Praia do Porto de Mos), multiple pool options, and 10 min walk to access the boardwalk that runs to the lighthouse and then the string of beautiful beaches close by (Praia de Camilo, Praia da Ana etc). Very close drive to Old Town which was very charming and had tons of shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend!"
"This resort is a beautiful hidden gem in Salema. Everything was perfect. The people are so friendly. Our room was cleaned everyday and we were shuttled everywhere with a quick call to the main reception, free of charge. It was quite the service. The ocean was beautiful. I can’t wait to go back with the family. "
"Great little hotel on the edge of old town. Breakfast is available for purchase but the Pastelaria across the street is amazing…don’t miss out on the pastel de nata and espresso! Everything is completely walkable and we had the best time there! Faro is small town friendly and we’ve never felt safer walking streets and back alleys at night. Take the tuk tuk tour to get an overview of the area and pay attention to the guide…he was a living history book and we had a great idea of what we wanted to see and in what order afterwards. Faro was amazing, you won’t regret your visit or this hotel. "
"It's rare when I walk into a hotel room and I'm stunned. It was a fantastic stay. The hotel staff was very friendly, kind and helpful. The location is in the center of everything but still tucked away from the hustle and bustle. If you're in Faro, stay here!"
