Advantages: Cheap, central to both areas Disadvantages: Not much hot water and no air conditioning
The QuintaDa Bellavista apartments are situated right in the middle of Albufeira, with a good 15 minutes walk to either the old town or The Strip, which is regarded as the new town and where all the night life and action is.
The reception, pool area and bar are on the opposite side of the road from the apartments. We checked in (23rd June 08) and had to give a deposit of 50 euros this was to cover any damages and would be refunded at the end of the holiday. This deposit was not mentioned in the holiday brochure so beware of this when you go.
The apartment was clean and tidy, with non of the signs of squashed mosquitoes on the walls. you find a bunk bed in the hall way right opposite the toilet, i'm not sure I would have wanted to sleep there. In the toilet there is a bath, with shower, sink and foot bath. There is a mirror ...
Advantages: A Great Atmospheric Town Bubbling with Life and Colour Disadvantages: None
so soft and golden. In winter my husband used to run every morning the whole length of the bay and sometimes he would never meet another soul. There are bars along the expanse of the beach which are very simple made from wood with bamboo roofs. In the evenings I always loved to go to a beach bar for a simple meal, sit out and look at the ocean's waves silently coming into the shore. Sometimes we would walk back slowly collecting shells and filling our pockets to the brim. Other times we would race each other to see who could get to the rocks first. Yes, I did win once! Happy memories.
The ancient port of Lagos has a long and troubled history. It was a very important centre on this section of coast, primarily because it served as the main trading post for slaves from Africa. In 1443, under the arcades of the Casa da Alfandega by the Praca ...
Advantages: sunny!! friendly, relaxed, picturesque Disadvantages: can be a bit too hot, not much shade, constantly people trying to sell daytrips
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 ...
