Oceanos, Algarve

Advantages: Small and friendly
Disadvantages: None for us.

...TAVIRA a small town on the Algarve, this is a very quiet place so if looking for Night Life , look elsewhere. If you are looking for Peace and Quiet and the Beauty of Nature then come to Tavira. Fly into FARO Airport, usually at the time of year we go, Early January for a pickmeup after the Xmas and New Year, I am disappointed if we have to pay more than £50 return on Easyjet from either East Midlands or Stansted. The flight times are good for us From East Mids normally 06:30 departure. Arrives FARO about 09:15. Tavira is located about 24 Kilometers towards the Spanish Boarder. We book our Transfer thru WWW.AUTO-FARO.COM They charge 40 Euros each way for the 4 of us. No extra charges that is what you pay even if flight late. They are very good and friendly, the Taxi driver will give you a little tour of Tavira... Read review

A number of companies have a mixture of tents and mobile homes on the site. In addition there are some more permanent structures which tended to be owned by French families as well as a number of plots available to pitch your own tent. In terms of cost this will vary dependant on the type of accommodation you... Read review

...LOCATION ************************* The Algarve is the region of Portugal which incorporates it's sunny Southern Coast . It has many sandy beaches and a warm climate . Albufeira is a centrally placed large resort . It is overdevelpoped and rather commercial but has good beaches and a warm, sunny climate.

Never having visited Portugal before I had been eagerly anticipating this holiday for months . However sadly the accommodation was a let down . I had read several reviews about the Perola Do Algarve, Albufeira on Tripadvisor and so had some concerns .The reviews were a mixed bag , but as we had already booked our holiday we hoped for the best . THE HOTEL ************************** The hotel... Read review
