Overbooked

Hotel was over booked so didn't have a room on arrival so sent us to their sister hotel which is claimed to be 5star. However, our reason for choosing Formosa park was to enjoy an Apartment, whereas the Dona Filipa was room and breakfast, so we had no self catering availability, and all drinks/food was greatly more expensive, so cost much more to stay than our original plan.

5 Star service.

Location: After doing research on hotel, not a lot of activity in nearby area. Car is essential or use expensive taxi.Golfer's paradise. Sun, Sea Beach relaxing
From the onset, all staff were very welcoming and friendly. We visited in mid October and the hotel was pleasantly not busy. The breakfast was fab, both the environment and staff in the restaurant were excellent. Reception were very accommodating with requests (maybe as hotel was not full).Would definitely recommend to others.

Well looked after

For the price, the Formosa Park Hotel was excellent value, was clean, quiet, but above all the staff were all lovely and eager to help. It was a little disappointing that, so close to the sea, it didn't actually have sea views (at least not from the ground floor room we had), and it was a tad hard to find arriving after dark through the Algarve coastal sprawl. We would also have had to drive to find any amenities, but we were after a quiet location so that was fine (I don't think it would suit most families). They are just small gripes for a great hotel for anyone seeking to get away from it all rather than wanting 'bright lights, big city'.

Good family getaway

It was a great experience. My children were happy and wish to revisit Formosa Park Hotel. I went with my spouse and three children. Spacious rooms, long balcony, clean bed and environment, very close to the beach and fantastic facilities such as fast lift and clean swimming pool. Staff were friendly, speak English and ready to help. The restaurant attendant was very pleasant. Buffet with varieties for breakfast, nice fruits and palatable hot or cold breakfast options. Value for money; will visit again. However, due to the location, it is advisable to hire a car for easy mobility. Otherwise, taxis could be expensive to get out and back to the hotel.

Lovely relaxing holiday.

Hotel was spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Lovely pool area and no problem getting sunloungers. I would recommend a car as the hotel is not within walking distance of any other restaurants or supermarkets and taxi's are quite expensive, although not too far a drive from quinto do largo. The beach is lovely but sun beds are expensive compared to other areas in algarve as are the snack bars, etc. There was great choice at the breakfast buffet and the 2 bedroom apartments were very spacious. Would recommend.

This hotel room was full of crawling ants when we approached the front desk we were given a tin of raid ,not good enough ,Fantastic breakfast ,Broadband expensive 17 euro per day , no hourly charge or any other rate . The hotel is a taxi ride to anywhere. But if you need a taxi call your self because the company the hotel use is almost twice the price of a radio taxi . room facilities quite good room linen changed daily . some ratings 4 star some ratings 1 some ratings a big zero

Viihtyisä hotelli luonnon keskellä.

Pros: Hyvä ja rauhallinen hotelli mäntymetsän keskellä
Cons: Kylpyhuoneiden uusiminen.
Location: Rauhallinen paikka, ranta lähellä, hyvät ulkoilureitit vieressä, samoin golf-kentät.

Gute Basis für Golfer

Das Hotel ist preiswert und bietet eine gute Ausgangsbasis für Golfer um viele nahe gelegene Golfplätze schnell zu erreichen. Leider liegt es viel zu weit vom Strand weg ( ca. 20 Minuten Gehweg ) um auch für Familien mit Kindern gut zu sein. Immerhin ist ein schöner Pool vorhanden. Ein Mietwagen ist also zwingend erforderlich! Die Appartements sind recht groß und schön. Leider fehlt ein Safe und der TV ist alt und klein. Das Frühstück ist OK, Buffetform mit guter Auswahl. Abendessen gibts erst ab 19.30 Uhr. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Weiterempfehlung mit Einschränkungen.

isot huoneet

Ok hotelli hinta/laatu suhteellaan. Vähän väsynyt 90- luvun sisustus, mutta siisti. 2 makuuhuoneen huoneisto oli todella iso.

hinta/laatu suhde erinomainen

Internet yhteys oli kohtalaisen kallis, työmatkaajalle kuitenkin välttämätön.
