Brochure Guide


Great Location easily accessable from UK and Ireland, with great year round weather. This is one of my favourite places for a few days or a few weeks when UK weather gets all too depressing. Food and drink very reasonable in terms of price and can be very good in terms of quality as long as you keep your wits about you. Stay clear from most of the UK themed places and look for the genuine local resturants and you won't go far wrong interms of quality or the bill at the end.

A good resort. Plenty of nightlife if you want it within a short taxi ride. Perfect for families. There are a variety of restaurants and shops with reasonable prices.

Quinta Dos Alamos review

"Guia Algarve"

Open quote

Amazing restaurants Ideal restaurant was very good, the mixed kebab and secret pork both went down well and Ramirez is a must for their PiriPiri-go upstairs if you want a more casual meal but this place is all about fun and taste. If you cross the EN125 at the 'chicken roundabout' and take the Algoz road- about 400m on the right is O Teodosio-worth the 20 min walk for even better chicken.

Brilliant lively resort, great people watching and cocktails! Lots of souvenir shops and bars and restaurants on the strip. Take the land train to the old town which is still lively but more old fashioned and a lovely place for an evening stroll. Great meal right on the beachfront.
