Lovey hotel with friendly staff in great location
A really nice hotel with a good breakfast and lovely staff. Also in a good location. The rooftop pool was cold but nice and friendly bar staff. Thought the drink prices were a little steep (especially cocktails that weren’t good).
Room was nice enough, a little small and some building renovation going on opposite our bedroom window (not hotels fault!). Slight bug near was they offered tea and coffee in the room but wouldn’t offer milk, when I asked it could be purchased in the morning which kind of defeats the object of having a coffee / tea when getting ready to go out

Nice new hotel but probably not the nicest town in the Algarve but perfectly fine for just a night or two.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pure Formosa. Everything was extremely well kept and clean. We only wished that the breakfast had a few more options like more alternative milks (oat for instance - Pure Formosa only had Soya, which almost no one uses these days in favour of better and tastier options like oat) and maybe alternative yogurts. Apart from this, all great! :)

An amazing hotel, close to the restaurant and other shops 4 to 5 minutes . Easy to get to the boat to the 3 islands. Ask reception for time table or other information, very friendly staff.

Nice but ants
Room was infested with ants on night one but after that everything was fine. No other room so we had to kill and clean all the ants ourselves. Lady from front desk was nice but did think it was odd that we ended up cleaning the room.

This is a stylish property in easy reach of the harbour, shops and restaurants if Olhao, which itself is a lovely place. We had a room with terrace/balcony which was really spacious. Pool area, bar and breakfast all great. Faultless, highly recommended.
