Quaint little hotel in the heart of Lagos' old town, within a residential winding street and typically "old world" charismatic buildings so you won't have to venture too far to get anywhere with the beach, local fish market,shops and abundance of restaurants all at your finger tips. The hotel is small and simple and offers the perfect combination of location and price, a rarity these days! A small restaurant offers you continental breakfast and thereception area is manned 24hours. Rooms are all bijoux and well maintained (some even have balconies). The Lagos Mar is a great little character product.
Advantages: A Great Atmospheric Town Bubbling with Life and Colour Disadvantages: None
...I don't know why it has taken me so long to get round to writing about Lagos. I guess when you live in a beautiful place you tend to take your surroundings for granted. It's six years now since I left Portugal but there isn't a day when I don't miss the colour and ambience. On days like today when Warsaw is a sea of grey I really miss the colours blue, white and yellow - sky, white-washed houses and sand.
The first stop for visitors arriving in the Algarve will be Faro airport. Faro is a fine town ans has a lot to offer for a day trip but the first thing most visitors will want to do is to get in a cab or a hired car and drive to their hotel or apartment in the sun. There will be time to view Faro and its alleyways and harbour- front another day.
My first memories of living in Lagos are when I lived on a boat in the fishermen...

...on a hotel or resort/holiday destination, is Holiday Watchdog, which tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth on every detail and quetion posible.
PERSONAL TIP:
dont go to the chinese restaurant in the centre of lagos! terrible service, cramped room with tables right beside each other and they laughed at us when we spoke!!!!!
-----MY EXPERIENCE-----
I went to Lagos for a week with my boyfriend last summer. It was a brilliant experience! You pronounce Lagos as Lagosh. The currency is in Euros.
About an hours drive in the bus from Faro airport. Pleasant jouney in the Thomson bus provided. Brief tour involved in this journey as the holiday rep gives details on the area and interesting facts, I still remember that talk to this day.
Lagos seems to thrive on tourism as everything is aimed at tourists. Hotels and appartments...

...Lagos, pronounced lagoosh is situated on Portugal's Algarve region,
A beautiful place, with at one end a Castle which sits on the see edge,(now a museum), and at the other a superb boating harbour, which is accessible via a small bridge or drive to it, taking the first left after the roundabout next to the Monopoly super market.
At the waters edge, there is a large promenade made of small cobbles, each one laid by hand by an army of workers, the prom is lined with palm trees, and plenty of seating stops, perfect to sit and watch the world go by, take a glance over the sea wall, and watch a fall array of fish and small squid feeding of the underwater vegetation.
A note of warning, keep children's hands away from the tree bark, it cuts skin easily.
The beach is accessed via two main points, one just pasted the Castle, some...
