Carvi Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Carvi Hotel. Everyone was very pleasant, it was EXTREMELY clean. It is great location on the beach and close to everything. The hotel next store looks like a war zone and I will not lie when we first passed by it I was like OMG where did I book us, even though I read reviews that explained it I still was taking back, but the Car I Hotel was nice and the most important thing I wanted was that it was clean and comfortable and it was. I definitely would stay there again "

Hotel 3K Faro Aeroporto

"A very welcoming, basic but quaint (has all you'll need for a night or 2) easy place to stay, before flying home from Faro. An easy 10 min walk from the airport with a supermarket pretty much next door. The hotel has friendly, helpful staff and the double room was decent and clean, with a clean bathroom and good shower and a balcony. It even has a pool! Recommended! "
