We had planned to stay here for the last night of our 28 day trip to Portugal and Spain, but we were let down by our last Air BnB so we ended up leaving that early and stayed at Ria Formosa Guest House for our last 4 days. We were a little worried as most people seem to stay only 1 night as an airport stopover so we weren't sure if 4 nights was too many. It certainly wasn't and we had a great stay and could easily have stayed longer. The design of the hotel, the cleanliness and comfort were all excellent. The room was a great size too, with a good bathroom and shower. The location also turned out well, as we had a car and could easily travel to local towns when we wanted to. We didn't use the pool but it looked great and the pool area itself was very tidy and clean. Every member of staff we dealt with was excellent too, and were really willing to ensure we had everything we needed and that we were happy, which we were. They have what they describe as a snack bar but we felt it was more than that with a reasonable selection of decent food - really handy on a couple of evenings when the local restaurants were closed or we didn't want to go out.

A lovely little spot tucked away in a corner with a surprisingly beautiful view especially at night. We stayed one night for a flight the next day. The hot tub on our terrace was fabulous and the room was large and comfortable. The hotel, although small was beautifully decorated and very clean and the staff was very helpful. They even carried our luggage upstairs for us.

What a lovely little hotel. The service was great! The room and entire property was very clean. They had nice amenities such as a pool, hot tub, sauna, limited menu and bar. It is very close to the Faro Airport and very reasonable priced rooms. It was a great stay!

We stayed one night at Ria Formosa Guest House. The room was quite nice: spacious, new, well decorated, and super clean. The woman who checked us in was very nice and helpful as well. The interior of the hotel was well maintained, and the sitting room was nice, but the front desk was definitely lacking - literally just a desk next to the front door and is not staffed 24 hours. Location is why I did not rate this 5 stars: while it is near the Faro Airport, which is what I think everyone who stays here is looking for, it is a 15 minute walk through residential streets to get to the hotel. So the area directly around the hotel is completely devoid of any conveniences like shops, restaurants, grocery stores, public transportation, etc. That being said, I would recommend this hotel for anyone needing a 1 night layover flying to/from Faro Airport.

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 .
