Our take
I would pick Aqua Ria for a central Faro stay with shops at the door and, in some rooms, views of the marina and the Ria Formosa. Wooden floors, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi cover the basics, and the restaurant serves local cuisine. A rating of 7.8 says to expect a three-star hotel, so ask for a room with a view when booking.
- Explore the main shopping street, Rua de Santo António, right outside the hotel for local finds.
- Dine at the Costa Algarvia Restaurant downstairs to experience authentic Algarvian flavors.
- Request a room with views of Faro Marina or Ria Formosa for a more scenic stay.
