Grande Real Santa Eulalia Resort
Overall; loved my stay. But there were a lot of additional expenses. The tv in my room had no purpose and the wifi was not good.

Hotel 3K Faro Aeroporto
Extremely basic hotel. Fine for one night before a flight, but don’t expect much. Breakfast is very underwhelming. Save the €15 and just walk to Pingo Doce across the street instead. Beds are not very comfortable either, but for a quick overnight stay it does the job I guess.
