The Ria Formosa is a very nice, clean hotel. The pool looked very clean and inviting. We were only there 1 night before our flight. We enjoyed a meal and glass of wine.

Not a lot immediately around the property but it is close to the old town and some shops. Short bolt drive to anywhere near the marina and excursions.

Very good hotel

I had a great stay at this hotel. It was exceptionally clean, and the bathroom was both spotless and spacious. The breakfast is definitely worth it—everything was fresh and well-prepared. The hotel's location is also a major plus, being so close to the airport. We even received a welcome drink upon arrival, which was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and made the experience even better. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing boutique hotel with great amenities. The primary reason for this place is its proximity to the airport, but it’s the type of place that would be amazing for more nights, and I wish we had known how much of a gem this place was and we would have stayed longer! We utilized the spa (hot tub, pool and sauna) and even the food at the bar was fantastic with our welcome drinks which were a nice touch. We rented the bikes for an afternoon and biked to the beach for a picnic. Loved our stay and the staff were so nice. Will definitely be recommending the Guest House to friends

Tastefully appointed, fabulous crisp linens and towels, great shower, plenty of attention to detail. Breakfast was all you could ask for, very fresh. Great location if you need the airport early otherwise just a reasonable UBER to town.

The property was lovely, very new, clean, and quiet. Beds were very comfortable...we had 2 twins. Margarita at the front desk was very helpful. She encouraged me to schedule/reserve an Uber since we needed to leave at 4am. Said it is more reliable for the early hour rides. It is very close to the airport which is why I gave the area around RFGH a 3star. You can WALK to the airport through the neighborhood. We didn't walk and wished we had, but we didn't know about safety and street lighting at 4am when we had to leave for our flight. Even though the airport is a 5 min drive away, our room was quiet. RFGH is not close to the city center, but it's a short Uber ride. Expedia website says that taxes and mandatory fees are included. FYI, I had to pay local tax (4 euros) at check-in. We would stay here again .

Everything about the property was great. Great facilties, clean and spacious. The chef was very professional, friendly, and helpful. However, I was disappointed that the property manager said I had booked the room for two adults and one infant, and because I had a 11 year old child I was charged an additional £50. I have done a few bookings this summer and have always included a 11 year old child, and my confirmation show this. I wasnt happy I had to pay the extra amount, and think that there was an error between Expedia and the guest house when booking was made. The booking included a 11 year old child, not a baby. I felt taken advantage of.
