Advantages: It's a very charming holiday destination Disadvantages: On the touristy side... (if this bothers you)
...). The tour lasts 3-4 hours, and you will paddle along the rocks, through small tunnels and inside hidden grottos with your kayak. You will paddle from the peaceful Mediterranean to where it meets the wilder Atlantic (the water will be a lot wilder there). The sights and the fun factor of this trip tops the boat trip a zillion times, but then, kajaking is not for everybody.
FOOD:
Lots of traditional fish dishes, but there is also a number of 'world cuisine' restaurants. Chances are, you will find what you fancy. I had no bad experiences regarding food.
NIGHTLIFE:

Advantages: clean Disadvantages: quite far from alcudia centre
...I stayed at this hotel with my 2 friends for a week and found it to be quite far away from alcudias nightlife, it was about 3euros to get there in a taxi, although this was not a problem it was a lot of hassle trying to find a taxi there and back every night.If you want to stay around the centre of playa de muro there a a number of restaurants but most entertainment is centred round the larger hotels, there is very few bars. At hotel Lago Park 2, there is not much in the way of entertainment, we went in high season and there was no entertainment in the day, and not very high quality at night. The rooms are of a reasonable standard, air conditioned although we didnt realise this until the last night, and a very powerful shower!! There was a reasonable selection of snacks at the bar for at lunchtime. I would definately return to Alcudia...

Advantages: great location to stay,easy to visit other places via car or public transport Disadvantages: parts of the algarve are very steep
...Portugal is such a superb mix of old and new which sits together very comfotably most of the time.The Algarve is lovely with both the beautiful beaches and the mountains not far away.Lagos is a favorite town of mine with all the restaurants and bars the holiday maker might expect it also boasts a long history as being the place Henry the Navigator began his journeys.The town is situated on the sea at the mouth of a river with a beautiful promenade leading to the new marina.It is very laid back and relaxed for a larger town and has managed not to become a `blackpool by the sea` as have some towns along the coast such as Albufeira....
