Advantages: Everything it is an excellent hotel Disadvantages: Coffee at breakfast was awful
We visited this Hotel in March 2006 and it was just brilliant, the room we had was spacious and very clean, with a lovely balcony. The bed was comfortable, the room had great curtains to block the light from coming into the room in the mornings, and there was no noise of a nighttime either - it is, without doubt, the best weeks sleep I have ever had on a holiday.
The breakfast was adequate, nothing amazing, but there was plenty to keep you going. We took the B&B option, so I cannot comment on the evening meals, but there are restaurants and cafes within 100 yards of this hotel, so you will not need to go far to find something. Carvoeiro has many restaurants, giving different options, seafood is fresh and plentiful, but you can also have italian, thai, chinese, indian, plus there are lots of restaurants serving grilled steaks, chicken ...
Advantages: kids,club, bar, beach, 2 pools, jacuzzis, entertainent, shops, self catering Disadvantages: have to meet with CPO staff who will want to sell you timeshare
I bought a timeshare here about 20 years ago with my husband and we have been going here on and off in that time with our growing family so we've seen some changes in that time - mostly good, I have to add.
One of the most significant changes is the addition of properties to the complex giving flexible accommodation visitors. This means that depending on your profile you will either be allocated the beach front CPO apartments (families with children), Hotel Oura Praia which is a about 10 minutes' walk from the beach (couples) and the newly aquired Hotel Oura which is just a few minutes' walk from the beach and I undersdand is aimed more the young clubbers.
There is also 'S' block which is where we own which is just a very small block just outside the main complex and directly behind the beach. It may not appeal to everyone but we ...
Advantages: Deep blue sea right in front, fresh air, amazing history, perfect for relaxing Disadvantages: none
Leptis Magna is by far the most amazing historical site i have ever been to. Its is incredibly beautiful, full of detailed history packed away for you to walk on, touch and sit around and enjoy the amazing atmosphere that place has.
I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful place it is to visit. Whether your interested in the history of it, or the natural beauty of it. There is something about this place that gets me so calm, peaceful and relaxed, a lot more than just a place at the beach!! And im normally not the type of person to ever be interested in history!
There is a special kind of silence in this place. A type i cannot describe in just words. It can never be replecated, its a peaceful silence, not a depressing one.
My reccomendation is to go to Leptis magna, either very early morning, so everything is nice and cool ...
