Choose this for a roof pool in Faro itself with a bar next to it and a published room price from £69. Floor and non-guest rules aren't published.
The pool
The 4-star hotel is on Praça Dom Francisco Gomes in Faro. Its roof pool has a sunbathing area, next to the Cosmopolitan Bar. The hotel's site mentions sunset views and live music at the bar. No floor is published.
Our take
Hotel Occidental Faro alone on our list publishes a room price, from £69 with no date stated. It's also the lowest-rated of the four on Google, at 4.2 from 2264 reviews. Treat it as the budget-minded pick next to 3HB Faro.
Detail is thin. No pool size, floor, heating or hours are published, and non-guest use of the roof is unstated. Summer is the safer bet, with June to August the best swim months.

Getting in
Access rules for the roof pool aren't published: no day pass, non-guest rule or age limit.
The Cosmopolitan Bar sits next to the pool, but the hotel doesn't say whether bar customers can use it. Ask first.
Tips
- Check the £69 rate against your own dates: the hotel states no date for it.
- Aim for June to August, the best swim months, and ask about live-music nights if you want the bar busy.
Before you go. Ask whether the roof pool is open to non-guests and in which months, since neither is published.
