Top 10 Specialty lodgings in Algarve, Portugal
The Algarve's sunny shores offer perfect escapes for all types, from those seeking the hot nightlife of flashy, energetic Lagos to those desiring secluded stays in rambling Sagres. Portugal's most southerly region offers historical attractions in former Moorish capital Silves and fascinating Tavira, great golf, fabulous beaches from Praia da Luz to Armacao de Pera, thermal springs at Caldas de Monchique, and miles of limestone caves and grottoes, cliffs and bays along its rugged coastline.

Excellent
Reviewed By Erin GHotel was immaculate. There was always a food option that we wanted to eat. Staff were wonderful and exceptionally helpful. Perfect location... 10 minute walk to beach, but plenty far away enough from the strip. Utilise the restaurants at the other sites which can be booked for free if you have gone all inclusive! Food at Aqua was amazing. Only comment would be to ask the staff to be more vigilant on people 'reserving' sunbeds with their towels. 2 days we went out to the pool area and were unable to get a bed due to them all being taken by towels, despite there only being 3 or 4 people in the pool for the 20+ empty beds reserved with towels. Other than that - exceptional hotel. Will definitely be using MGM hotels at other locations in the future.

Battle for sunbeds starts at 7am !!
Reviewed By IndieShropshireTowels start being left on sunbeds at 7am, they have all been reserved by 9am, then left empty for hours. We have been staying at the Areias twice a year since it opened and have never seen it this bad.

Good family & couples hotel
Reviewed By SJHP1Back again. 1 & 2 bed apartments with kitchen with a fridge, washing machine, microwave & Hob for cooking. All have balconies. The kitchen is handy to prepare food as with covid regulations the restaurant/cafe/bar is closed so is the gym, sauna & indoor pool. The outdoor pool is open adult & kids pool but is not heated. The complex is quiet & good for families & couples. It has a garage for cars & parking outside as beach a 10-15 min walk if you have pushchairs or walking issues about 5–10 in the car. There is a cafe 5 mins walk away that has a bar & sells food like sandwiches & pastries. Also a supermarket that sells enough things if self catering & has a small cafe selling snacks & pastries too. We have also used the Uber food app to order in when we have stayed in & it seemed to work. Warning if arriving in the evening due to covid sometimes reception closes at 6pm & a code needed to access building so check if you have an evening arrival that you can be let in & get to your apartment. Pools have reopened thus week & has been filled with clean water after repairs last week but not heated. Maybe not one for groups of people who like to be in the centre of things as in a more residential area but for those who want more space & not so noisy good & don’t mind a walk or drive to the beach.

Prefect but please read
Reviewed By kenmode101Stayed in the Porto Dona Maira resort in the first week of August 2019. But must explain that we stayed in a privated villa and not the hotel, so this review is really on that villa. Villa was just a few meters from hotel reception, which is were the resprt bar is. Stopped for a drink when we were walking around and was greeted by a very nice staff member ( he was a man in his 60s), made us feel very welcome. Had a walk around the resort and it looked ok ( didnt see into the hotel or hotel blocks). Hotel pool looked ok and surrounding grounds looked clean and ok, seen some comments about waste lands and all that, yes a few o f this, but these are villa sites for sale, could they be clean up and kept a certain level ( yes) but its the same all over these areas so no big deal to us. Our villa had 3 bed rooms ( 2 doubled and one twin) with 3 bathrooms ( 2 ensuites, one just across from room), private pool and roof top terrance. Villa had everything needed, included sky sports and movies. Walk to resort from Praia da Luz is about 30mins, but not that bad, can go over the cliffs, but really tge same time, taxis are between 6.50/ 8.00€ for 4, so again not bad. No noise and lovely wind to keep you cool.

Ticked Every Box For Us :)
Reviewed By Elaine DJust arrived home after a week well spent in these apartments. Initially had reservations after reading reviews,,,,we needn't have worried! Our apartment was maybe not the most modern...but had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Both the sitting room and bedroom had a flat screen tv and air con. Beds were comfortable..kitchen well equipped..we had a partial sea view which suited us fine, and is only one block away from the front! Room was cleaned daily and fresh towels every day too. Breakfast was good and well stocked, with a varied selection of bread, a couple of cereals, bacon, eggs, sausages...cheese, ham, yoghurt, etc..more than enough to set you up for the day :) Wifi....router was in our room (35)..so amazing signal ;) Overall a great stay..... :) Special mention for Claudia on reception....what a lovely lady....a smile to greet you every day...and took time for a chat with us every evening. Every hotel should have a Claudia on the front desk!! X

Hostel atmosphere; directly located on airport flight path - NO room service for sev.days,communication partly difficult
Reviewed By KassandraXThe room is part of a complete apartment in a private building, on the edge of the old town. We had a few days the room Hearts with private bath and balcony (shared). A little & small room, but neat and clean. With elevator in the building, 4th floor. DISADVANTAGE: the building is close to the police and right on the approach lane from the airport, so it's quite loud until midnight, even longer on the road ahead. No breakfast, selfcatering, no room cleaning - not all fellow guests are considerate.
