I read most of these reviews before going on the trip and although they are all accurate as to the amazing experience you’ll have, they were a bit understated as to how challenging it was. It is absolutely worth climbing the volcano, but it definitely took more effort than I had expected. It will take using your hands for climbing during the last hour due to the steepness of the terrain. The other reviews led us to believe there would be some sort of walking/ minor climbing path the whole way. Although there is a “trail” it’s definitely steep at points. My thighs were sore for about five days after the climb, but obviously worth it. Maybe we’re just old and out of shape but two of us made it up and two didn’t. I just wanted to put that information out there so people can prepare. Still, hands down a must do, amazing experience!

Amazing sights, recommended to start at Cova (by taxi or aluguer) and walk down to Pombas. Bring water and go bananas

We travelled here on a quad tour and wow what an absolutely amazing place! Chrystal clear, warm se water and stunning soft white sand as far as the eye can see. My wife and I walked a little away from the group and it was easy to imagine we were the only people alive in the world, totally peaceful and beautiful, what an experience. We have been to many beaches throughout the world including the Caribbean, this is the best of the lot.

The beach is one of the nicest I’ve ever seen and the sea is amazing the only time we got to go in the sea as the riu toureg is red flag.

Visit Project Biodiversity's Turtle Hatchery on the beach by the Riu Hotel to observe the excavation of Loggerhead sea turtle nests, learn about the conservation of the species and have the chance to see baby Loggerhead turtles. The public activities are during the turtle season, from August until mid-December. 2020 turtle season has officially finished!

Very interesting talk given by volunteers at 5pm each day at hatchery. Saw baby turtles that had hatched that day being dug out of the sand and put into a bucket for transporting to the beach for release. Good work done by these people and a very worthwhile cause.

Perola d'Chaves is a lovely beach bar close to RIU Palace hotel. Feels like a hidden place - sunbeds, parasols, or tables. They serve good coffee! Also a place where you can eat. Not easy to reach, but after a lovely beach walk, it is a fantastic place to enjoy a drink, a meal, a coffe and to swim or tan on the beach. For Western European standards the prices are not high. But for us, coming from a poorer country, it is a bit pricy.
