Hotel 3K Faro Aeroporto
"No frills, super clean. Perfect place for a night for this solo traveler who needed to be at Faro airport at 4am. 10-15 min safe walk down a well lit sidewalk to the airport, no taxi needed if you can handle your luggage. Friendly staff spoke English and check-in was a breeze. But distant from downtown ..."

Vila Gale Ampalius Resort Hotel
"Very clean and helpful stuff. It is a mixed golf and family hotel so if you want a mostly family environment this is not one for you but the mix worked well for us."

Pedras d'el Rei
"Very easy walk and open train to the beach on Ilha de Tavira. Room was nice and lots of villas to choose from when booking. We drove into the old town of Tavira which was very charming. The pool closes ontime and the area is very quiet in the evenings."
