Giões accommodation from AU$113

So enjoyed our short stay…room was clean…didn’t have air conditioning but tell tell the desk the next morning but we survived with the patio door with screening for air circulation! Did enjoy the continental breakfast and leisurely stroll for some sight seeing down at the inlet…my friend is interested in long term rental in the off season and would certainly consider this property as would I.

Very comfortable hotel. Excellent breakfast, including cooked if you want it, from 7.30am. Coffee machine and small fridge (mini-bar) in room - no kettle or tea but that seems normal for Portugal. Pool looks good but we didn't use it.

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.
