Information & Amenities
The nearest beach, Rabbit Beach, lies 1 km (0.6 miles) away. Guests can make the trek over a narrow paved road and a dirt footpath through a low pine forest. The beach is 50 yards wide and composed of clean, coarse sand flanked by tawny, 40-foot-high, seashell-embedded cliffs that glow in the setting sun. Terraced above the beach is a restaurant (open seasonally) offering light meals and drinks on wood decks.
Above the hotel's marble-floored lobby is an expansive fourth-story lounge providing an ocean view and furnished with overstuffed seating, game tables, and a television. An open-air deck fronting the lounge provides a panoramic view that includes the city of Faro. The lounge contains a computer offering a coin-operated high-speed Internet connection. A complimentary cocktail party is held Wednesday evenings in the lounge.
