Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ap Eva Senses enjoys a prime location overlooking Faro marina, placing guests close to shops, restaurants, and the bus station, making it easy to explore. Guests often appreciate the spacious, comfortable rooms, many featuring balconies. A highlight for many is the rooftop pool, and the breakfast buffet is often mentioned, enhanced by live piano music; however, some guests have noted that certain aspects of the rooms could use updating. For some guests, the car can be parked right in front of the main doors, which was a bonus.

the location are acceptable, i suppose.

The air conditioning didn't worked correctly. The room was just warm, not what i wanted. also, the noise at night from the street made sleep difficult. It was like the party never stops. finally, the chairs in the breakfast room aren't clean. They had stains.
