...Club Albufeira is ideal for a family holiday being safe and fun for children.Portuguese law prohibits dogs on the Club and the pools in Summer time have lifeguard supervision. We were lucky enough to have had a south facing apartment enabling us to stay with the sun on our balcony, whilst others were in the shadows of the evening. Our apartment was really something special -spacious,clean and luxurious.Just about everything we needed was there-towels,duvets,all the pots and pans etc we could ever need.The owner told us that this would be the case -just bring your toothbrush,beach towels and slippers he said. Renting a car was not essential as the Club Albufeira provided a free shuttle bus four times daily to the Old Town Albufeira with its beautiful beaches. We did rent one however for a few days of our holiday to visit some... Read review

We decided to take a taxi, but if we went again we'd take the less expensive option of a pre-booked car, for around £13.00 each each way.
