Carvi Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The place is in a great location close to the beach. Loved it. "

Hotel 3K Faro Aeroporto

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect motel to stay before an early morning flight out of Faro. Literally walking distance to check-in, closer than walking the terminal from one end to the other. Very friendly and kind staff. I stayed there twice already, and will keep coming back - it is the best option when transiting through Faro."
