"1. Airplanes constantly on landing approach directly overhead day and night. 2. This hotel LIED about having Air Conditioning. When we sweat through a night where it was only 58° outside with the fan blowing and still way too hot we checked with the front desk and they said “oh, no we don’t have air-conditioning.” this was specifically my search criteria for a hotel in Faro and listed as a current amenity of my room selection. 3. The breakfast buffet is superior. This is what you are really paying for."
