My room was massive and the balcony had a hot tub and was also very spacious. The views were beautiful. I traveled alone and felt so safe. The reception manager Joào is an absolute treasure and credit to the hotel. He made me feel so welcome and was very attentive to everyone’s needs. I found out while staying there the hotel had only opened in July ! You would of never known as everything was so professional. The lady who cooks the breakfasts, makes the best cakes, as well a delicious cooked breakfast. There is also food served all day , the pizza was delicious, had it twice. The swimming pool area is beautiful too. I definitely will return and recommend to all my friends.

I liked absolutely everything about the property

I loved the pool, the room was spacious and the decor was super modern and really quite beautiful, the accomodation was a short walk from the airport which was really handy, ten min Uber to the beach, 10 min Uber to the city. Friendly staff and very quiet and peaceful! I loved the welcome drink and complimentary bottle of water-this was very thoughtful. The spa and sauna were a nice extra that I wasn’t expecting. Air conditioning was amazing and huge tv in the rooms with lots of channels. Overall I loved my stay and would return!

House keeping didn’t replenish some of the toiletries, which would have been good and didn’t clean the sheets in my 4 nights. I only mention this because there’s a note next to the bed that says they usually clean them every 2 days. I didn’t mind, but would have been nice. They also didn’t clean my room at all day 1 and I didn’t realise they would need the sign on the door saying I’m out to clean my room? I would also suggest they label their buffet breakfast with allergens and include some vegan options on their snack/dinner menu and more options with the breakfast.

Genuinely, one of the best stays we have ever had. The staff could not have been more helpful or done more for us. We arrived early in the day and we were allowed to use the luggage room; the children could use the pool; an early check in was granted as soon as the room was ready; and breakfast the next morning was prepared early for us as we had to be at the airport for 8.00am. The guest house was incredibly clean and has only been open a few weeks. It was so relaxing! Couldn’t recommend this highly enough. A great find and would definitely stay again. Thank you so much!

Nothing at all!

The guest house is perfect. You enter via a secure gate and are very warmly welcomed by the staff. It feels like a small boutique hotel, modern and clean with excellent decor and facilities. We stayed in the suite with hot tub, our top floor terrace was lovely but unfortunately we only got to see it at night due to late arrival and early departure, we will definitely return! Breakfast to takeaway was a lovely touch.

Nothing, it was fabulous. I would have liked an instruction sheet for the hot tub, although I’m sure if I’d have asked the staff would have sorted this.

We liked everything about the property, EVERYTHING!! We had the most wonderful stay at this guesthouse. The place is modern, clean, and maintained to a very high standard. The room was nice & spacious with a lovely view of the pool. We treated ourselves to a nice time relaxing by the spa after a long day out in the city. The owner was incredibly kind, and we even had the pleasure of dining at his restaurant, where the food was exquisite. The staff was respectful and kind too, making us feel like royalty throughout our stay. The guesthouse's location, just a 3-minute drive from Faro airport, was so convenient. They truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, and I can't wait to visit again & would absolutely recommend this guesthouse to anyone who happens to be in Faro & looking for a nice & comfortable stay. It’s worth every penny.

Absolutely Nothing!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Ria Formosa Guest House and I must say it was an excellent experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. However, one staff member in particular, Paulo, stood out for his exceptional service and helpfulness. Paulo went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. He was always available to answer any questions. it is located directly next to the airport which makes it a great place to stay before and early flight out the next day.

I found it a bit on the expensive side.

Quiet area. Beautifully decorated. So clean. The pool is gorgeous. The staff is so friendly and speak good English. Can walk to the airport, but Uber is around 5/6 euros. Breakfast has such amazing quality. Great stay. Will definitely return.

The shower drain In the room wasn’t working to it’s full capacity. But we have told the staff when we checked out so they can see to it. Not really an issue.
