General view

Excellent  hotel, food and service were wonderful, no complaints at all. 
Apartments: they were very comfortable but lacking in essentials , no coffee and tea making facilities. No condiments , kitchen paper or anything else apart from cooking and eating utensils. For an apartment with kitchen it left a lot to be  desired

Lovely place for a short holiday

June is a good time to go, quiet and weather pleasant.
The hotel is lovely. Basic but very clean and good facilities in terms of the rooms. The breakfast is fantastic. The whole place is spotless. Lovely pool area, bars and the staff are helpful. 
Plenty of places to wander to whether its a quiet cove you want, nice walks, a long day in the sun on a sandy beach, lively bars, intimate restaurants, it has it all. 
We didn't have kids but lots of young families and older couples out of season.
The only down side about this holiday are the queues at the airport !!


Great location and lovely hotel

My wife and I were desperately in need of a quiet holiday where we could just rest by the pool, maybe spend time on the beach, and eat some great food. The 3HB Falesia Garden gave us all these things in abundance. We booked a Deluxe One Bedroom apartment - Half Board and were not disappointed. The apartment was large, clean and lovely to come back to after a day out. It was also very quiet at night. Granted, we came when the schools were not out for the summer, but I can't imagine that it would get much noisier. Food in the restaurant was always of a good standard. We find half-board holidays relieve the constant need to produce food all day as per all-inclusive holiday, and avoids the inevitable reduction in standards. Drinks weren't too expensive, but worth noting that you need to pay for them on completion of dinner. Also, should you choose lunch at the pool bar (also a great standard) , you must pay after your meal rather than run up a bill for payment at check out. There were lots of free sunbeds by the pool at this time of year, and the maintenance team were always on hand to repair issues when they arose. The beach was a short walk down some wooden steps and it was a nice respite from the heat of the day. On the beach, the lifeguards were very friendly, and helpede when I was stung by a Spider Fish! Staff in the hotel were very friendly too, especially the waiters and waitresses in the restaurant. Overall, this was a fantastic holiday, and will be our hotel/holiday of choice for a quiet retreat. 

As close to perfect as any holiday we've had.

An excellent hotel. Staff are very helpful. Accommodation great. The food is superb, there is a lot of choice and variety.  All cooked fresh on site, 
We had a deluxe suite with sea view. Rooms are spacious and the view was great.
 My mobility is not brilliant but everywhere was accessible. The pool although not big is clean and the area around it is well maintained too with plenty of sun beds and shade. The added bonus is that you can get down to the beach. There are quite a few steps but it's not hazardous and the are rest places if you need. 
We will definitely go back asap.

Fantastic

we have just returned after an 8 night stay.

SUNBEDS - plenty of sunbeds at all times of the day, think might still be ok in school summer holidays  but not when the other blocks are finished ( think there are 4 blocks still unused due to refurbishing) i would imagine the pool/ pool area is inadequate for that amount of extra guests , it's on the smaller side as it is

CLOSEST BEACH - down a LOT [140] of stairs but worth it  sunbeds are €20 for 2 and a parasol all day , toilets were clean for a public beach it's also a nice but rather busy cafe/ restaurant 

ROOM- we were in a standard  room, and it was amazing for the standard expected for the money , great fully equipped kitchen, large lounge , decent bathroom and bedroom( very very hard mattresses 

now to my personal reasons for the title 

i asked for a top floor room and was luckily accommodated. the noise from other rooms was no worse from that i've experienced from even the likes of Sani, when you have tiled floors and walls and little children it's pretty noisy, but not a lot the hotel can do about that . the day we arrived there was a large group at the hotel for a wedding at  another another venue and they pretty much took over the pool area and were loud in the blocks, a harmless bunch but just by sheer number of them calling out to each other , i was ( again) luckily not in their block, that would have ruined my stay. after they left we had a days respite before the start of the school holidays were upon us, as i mentioned before it made for a noisy early morning with kids in adjacent rooms running and screaming  as kids do. 

on the whole the staff were nice enough, it's true they don't all have good english but people who complain should remember they are in Portugal, perhaps better stay to more touristy places.

the younger lady in reception was not particularly friendly, not even a smile when we arrived and she was there on check out with the same demeanour. all the other reception staff were nice , the cleaners were just lovely ladies , shout out to the one who rescued us and got the  HUGE locust out of our room .

olhos is a lovely safe town , with great restaurants, the "full english breakfast " signs should put anyone off. food at Franks, the Olhos D agua restaurant and versatile was delicious

may the odds be ever in your favour
