Cabo de Santa Maria Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Very good hotel. Very good food. The infrastructure is impeccable! Gardens are amazing! Nice beach! The "

"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. "

"Perfect location, Lots of restaurants around, very nice and clean bedroom, lovely breakfast, and nice staff. More than 4*."

"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!"

"This hotel is a luxury resort with staff that go out of their way to be helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The setting is beautiful and it is quiet and peaceful. Food in all the restaurants is amazing. Rooms are beautiful. Spacious grounds with many areas to sit and relax or swim. "
