Pick this if you're happy to base yourself in Olhão rather than Faro and want a 3-star hotel with a pool and cocktail bar on a 360-degree roof. Access rules aren't published.
The pool
The hotel is at Av. da República 34 in Olhão, not Faro. Its pool sits on a rooftop terrace with 360-degree views over Olhão, the islands and the Ria Formosa. A rooftop bar serves cocktails, and the floor isn't published.
Our take
Pure Formosa is the more modest choice next to 3HB Faro: 3 stars against 5, and the Google rating is 4.6 from 711 reviews. It also sits in a different town, so check the map before you book if Faro itself matters to you.
No floor, heating detail, hours or non-guest rule is given for the pool. The best swim months are June to August, so for a winter stay, check with the hotel that the pool is in use.
