Hotel Algarve Casino
Apart from a burnt-out overhead light in the bathroom, my room and experience were top-notch. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. The buffet breakfast was superb, and the setting—right along the beachfront—could not have been any better. I highly recommend the Algarve Casino.

Belmar was beautiful! It was the last stay on our trip and we enjoyed the splurge. The pool and spa facilities were really nice. Really liked our massages and the staff was friendly. The drinks and bites we got at the bar were also delicious.

Colina Village
Very clean accommodation, great staff who go above and beyond. Pool area is clean and tidy, although the indoor and outdoor pools are not heated. The facility is in need of updating, in some ways this adds to the charm of the Portugese style of the apartments. The bar and restaurant was very quiet ...
