Algarve Hotel Quinta do Atlantico, Faro

Advantages: close to airport and inexpensive
Disadvantages: some aircraft noise

...at very reasonable prices. The area af montenegro has many local shops bars and restaurants within a short walking distance from the monaco and the Forum algarve shopping center is only a short taxi ride. The Monaco is a perfect base for exploring Faro and is particularly ideal for those long weekend shopping or sightseeing trips and for business travel. Pre-book for special offers but if you do just walk in and book a room negotiate............I have never yet paid the list price!!! www.santaluzia-portugal.blogspot.com... Read review

...TAVIRA a small town on the Algarve, this is a very quiet place so if looking for Night Life , look elsewhere. If you are looking for Peace and Quiet and the Beauty of Nature then come to Tavira. Fly into FARO Airport, usually at the time of year we go, Early January for a pickmeup after the Xmas and New Year, I am disappointed if we have to pay more than £50 return on Easyjet from either East Midlands or Stansted. The flight times are good for us From East Mids normally 06:30 departure. Arrives FARO about 09:15. Tavira is located about 24 Kilometers towards the Spanish Boarder. We book our Transfer thru WWW.AUTO-FARO.COM They charge 40 Euros each way for the 4 of us. No extra charges that is what you pay even if flight late. They are very good and friendly, the Taxi driver will give you a little tour of Tavira... Read review

...Vale do Lobo was the first development in the Algarve. It was founded in 1962 by Trusthouse Forte and at that time the Algarve was mainly inhabited by farmers and fishermen. It was only after the establishment of Vale do Lobo, its five star Meridien Hotel Dona Filipa and the first golf course, that Faro Airport was opened. Vale do Lobo is just 20 mins drive from the airport, perfect for hitting your destination after only a 2 and a half hour flight from the UK! The facilities and services are excellent – from an on-site bank, post office and supermarket, to the resort’s own medical centre and security service. Fine shops and restaurants, the largest tennis academy in Portugal, 2km of golden beach, not forgetting 2 championship golf courses – there’s no need to step outside the resort. Choose from an apartment, a villa or stay... Read review
