"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for two nights on route elsewhere. The staff are absolutely charming and helpful in every way. Available meals were simple and limited, but were more than adequate and were reflected in their lower cost, particularly as the setting from the veranda easily made up for it. Drinks were also kept affordable, making for a very relaxed stay. For a number of years now, we have booked later flights, and book into a rural hotel about half an hour away from the airport, before moving on to our intended destination. This hotel is ideal for that both inbound and outbound to Faro. We will use again if we use Faro airport. Note: All of our uk based credit cards were declined at this hotel, despite being useable elsewhere. A bit of faffing about was required, in that we had to get our daughter to pay from the uk, refund her, and get her to send proof of payment."
