Albufeira (Portugal)

...in Olhos d'Agua just outside Albufeira (8km from Albufeira, 8km from Vilamoura). The apartments are clean and comfortable, with one bedroom and 2 sofa beds in the lounge area which suited the kids.We had a small kitchen with fridge (a godsend!), and a hob.We had a balcony with a seaview.No lifts in the blocks which are 3 storeys high, so a bit difficult with the suitcases, tho we did get fit walking up & down each day as our room was at the top of ...
...breakfast and dinner on resort.The dinner was at a set time of either 6.30pm, OR 8.30pm which was a bit restrictive.The apartments were cleaned and tidied each day and beds made up etc.The only disadvantage was that there was no AC in the apartment, but this could be overcome at night by leaving the balcony door open slighly, and the window in bedroom which allowed the breeze to go right thro the whole apartment.The apartments are located next door ...

Review of Albufeira (Portugal)

I love taking the family here. I have a small timeshare and it is a great place to go for a cheap and cheerful relaxing holiday. I always think of it as a place to go for a 7-10 day holiday but not necessarily any longer. There are lots of good places to eat and drink around the Strip. The Strip is a sort of mini Blackpool I guess but the one thing it has over some counterparts I have been to in Europe (especially Spain) is that many of the places ...
...I found for value is Farnells. It is a small family run restaurant just off the Strip and huge T Bone steaks gor for 9 euros (or on special nights 8 euro!!) which is just over a fiver. The staff here are friendly and once you have been there once they remember your drinks order for the rest of the holiday! Another place I like to go is the Two Brothers which is off the Strip but on the main road (same side as Rumors Bar but towards the beach). This ...

Review of Albufeira (Portugal)

If you like Karaoke it was on every other night! The resort has two main swimming pools which are heated during the winter months, however 19c was not warm enough for me to dip more than my foot in! My boyfriend went in for a swim however and said the water was fine. Overall ...
