Read Reviews - Luxury this is Not
This is nothing close to luxury... The pool is not as advertised - it's a big outdoor wading pool and the hot tub is some moldy old thing like my parents had - 40 years ago. As others mentioned they repair or replace nothing. It's true they can't even fix the toilet seat - but it wrong shape., brrrr brrrr.. it does get cold in early spring - they oops forgot to turn breaker onm, yea right. The breakfast was not as advertised - old cheese, stale bread, overwripe fruit - I don't care if they served it-when they called my phone they asked if I would be having the cheese tasting at night and be back for lunch.. I had read the menu - sounded like same type of horrible food and wayyyyy overpriced _ they didn't get me on this. I froze.. left hungry and disappointed but I went elsewhere to eat. I would not in any manner have the audacity to call this luxury. I think they only cater to the loads of overwhelming British tourists in summer and fill them full of overpriced drinks & food. Everything bad that has been written is true. Toilet seat., heat., drinks. Pool. Oh I saw reviews about door locks & can't get in (I experienced it myself a couple times) but when it was checkout & time to leave I made sure I had door jammed open in case it tried to trap another in and miss their flight or train

This place offers a unique, high quality experience with excellent wine choices and absolutely delicious food. The hosts go out of their way to really make their guests feel welcome and have a memorable experience. My husband and I loved staying here from swimming in the pool and enjoying the wonderful wines and foods while dinner for dinner there. Highly recommended staying here if you are in the Faro area.

This hotel may have seemed luxurious when it was first opened but the rooms have not been properly maintained. Both of our rooms had various issues including deck doors not functioning correctly, the area surrounding the bathtub being totally water damaged (who surrounds a tub with wood instead of tile? illogical) (also the height of the tub and the width of the tub lip/surround, coupled with the insanely sharp edge of the wood, made it incredibly dangerous to get in and out of), faucets leaking, etc. Breakfast was OK mostly due to service. The food itself was quite tasty and varied. It would have been rather great if they offered it buffet style instead of serving each individual a separate plate for each item. We saw *so* much food go to waste as most people left the majority of all the small plates barely touched, and didn't feel comfortable asking for more of the foods we liked because we weren't sure if supply was limited. Plus, service was incredibly slow. We totally understand it's Portugal, it's very laid back and relaxed, and that's great, but it would be nice to get the coffee one asks for within 30 mins of ordering it.

Absolutely bloody marvellous.
Outstanding We stayed at Opus One for 2 nights, and it was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. Intimate, private, beautiful, fantastic food and location. There's a great breakfast included, but you can also opt to have dinner as well. We had dinner there one night, and it was really special - delicious, and a wonderful atmosphere (they had a great singer-guitarist playing Spanish guitar). They've taken so much care and attention to creating something special - rooms for playing pool, relaxing, a little "library", plus outside there's a jacuzzi, pool, steam room and sauna, a bar and a wine cellar. I've never stayed anywhere quite like it.(I did copy this review as it summed up everything I wanted to say.) We are already booking for next year

This property is very nicely decorated and it is obvious that the owners have very high standards of what a luxury stay is and do everything to achieve it. The attention to detail is what I most liked and the staff were excellent. When we go back to to the Algarve, this is where we will be staying. Highly recommended.
