Hotels near Faro Airport - FAO, Faro

We are a family of four and really enjoyed Faro with its cobbled streets and passageways. The people are very friendly with a good variety of restaurants and cafes. There is a bus and train station in Faro and we used Uber a lot which was excellent. We would never travel to Faro in August as the airport is a nightmare, we landed at 8.16pm and never got out of the airport until 10.20 pm. This was caused through Passport Control with only three people in attendance to deal with hundreds. Our luggage had been moved to another caroursel so we had to go looking for it. We missed our transfer as the driver had waited over an hour . I don't know how bad it is in July and September

Quiet mainly residential area. Beautiful long sandy beaches Long board walks that connect beaches. Great walks and cycling in area A trip to Loulé is a must and Faro old town and beach is easily accessible. Great restaurants all along beach.

Small and perfectly formed, good location for ferries to the Ria Formosa islands, and Praia Faro beach Cute little old town, good range of restaurants to satisfy all tastes, good transport to and from airport, train services to other towns along Algarve coast For boat trips go along to the yellow house further to the east of the marina and look for all the HOHO and ferry providers. Do not fall for the "group trips" by the central marina - there are many more much better value providers where the ferries depart from! The HOHO to the 3 islands for 35 euros is very good value, valid all day until the final ferry goes back to Faro, and great fun in the bright yellow RIB boats Just be aware that all pavements throughout the old town (sidewalks for the US readers) are all of very shiny stones, little cubes set into cement, which can be very slippery, and therefore not very accessible for those with mobility difficulties. However with a slowed walking pace, they are totally manageable, and obviously you can see more of the town at a slower walk! Roads themselves are cobbled, so use of scooters or push bikes could find it hard going.

Not child/ family friendly. Outdoor pool freezing. Indoor pool reserved for adults only even though when we booked it had children’s times scheduled. Main reason we booked was for the indoor pool. Very isolated if you don’t have a car. Otherwise everything was as expected in a 5star hotel.

Faro is great for a short stay, with some beautiful churches to explore. The best part, though, is how well connected it is to other fantastic destinations like Lagos and Tavira. Plus, it’s just a quick 12-minute taxi ride from the hotel to the airport.

Perfect accommodation, large terrace, beautiful kitchen with all appliances we needed. Good choice of restaurants in the area. Amazing holiday destination which we will definitely be returning. Only negative point was that there was not a suitcase stand as we do not like to place suitcases on bed when emptying. Beautiful, comfy large bed with large bathroom. Summary =the perfect holiday, thankyou Quinta do Lago Country Club.
