Island Armona hotel rooms a the Pousadas de Portugal

"Friendly reception staff, we arrived before check in time, our rooms were ready so we were able to go straight to them which was great after an early start. The view over the marina was stunning. The breakfast experience was lovely - good choice, eating outside in the sun with the view over the marina/sea, and pianist playing. We were given a flower each on our departure day, a nice touch. The only disappointments were that my daughter was unable to borrow an iron, which was bizarre- often there is one provided in every room, or at least one is available on request - and that the water in the indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi was quite cold. The sauna however was lovely. The bedding was good quality as were the blackout curtains, making for a good night's sleep. "

"Staff were all very polite and accommodating "

"Large spacious rooms and the hotel is in an excellent location with lots of restaurants nearby"

"This hotel is amazing! Other than the parking being a couple of blocks away, there is nothing negative about this property. Clean, quiet, walkable location close to everything. Loved our stay and will highly recommend. And the staff is top shelf….😃"

"Beautiful property, great price. Loved the spa. It was noisy when i was there due to a conference and you need to take an uber to go site seeing. Its a good property if you are looking to hangout at the hotel and enjoy the amenities. Although i recommend dinning out for lunch or dinner. "

"The staff were amazing, The facilities and food were perfect for really relaxing pleasurable holiday "

"Amazing rooms. Amazing service. Amazing buffet un breakfast. Pleasant front desk and bellboy. Perfect geographix situation. Villamouria is great to walk and dine at night"

"Central location with walking distance to most of the places. Nice staffs, clean room with A/C"

"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."
