I'll be visiting Portugal in a month's time and I need to travel from Lisbon to Faro for the second part of my trip. I'm trying to figure out how to get to Faro Airport and the transit options that I've encountered are: ALSA, comboios de portugal (cp) and Rede Express. And they all have terrifiying, horrible reviews.

Are these companies my only options? What is the best way to travel to Faro from Lisbon? Also I'll be travelling solo as a female so safety is important. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
