- Very relaxing and welcoming area of the algarve, Lots for families and couples of all ages.From the lively pubs and clubs to the golden sand beaches. good quality food at reasonable prices with a variety of activities i.e dolphin watching to water parks and zoo's.
- Useful Tips:
- Avoid the beggers and gypsy sellers around old town area definately hire a car to get around and search the internet for the best deals £80 for the week ! $10 to town from hotel in taxi but car makes travelling alot easier

- It was a lovely place for a relaxing holiday but there was also the opportunity to go out clubbing etc if wanted. A good destination for all types of holiday maker. The people were really friendly and it was generally quite cheap to eat and drink there. Would definitely go again!!
- Useful Tips:
- Where we were situated was quite hilly so if you are not very mobile (or just a bit lazy) its not ideal. However, a taxi from the town centre to the top of the hill was relatively cheap at around €3-€4

- We were on the strip in Albufeira. Ideal for everything good bars and great places to eat and most very good value. Beer was about 2 euros a pint some places was 1.50 euros a pint and a proper pint at that. Food prices varied from around 5 euros to abput 10 euros for set menus and all good quality food. We found that up around the Montechero Hotel there were better place to eat and drink with it being more spread than the main strip. Found the Cottage Restuarant was doing a english breakfast for just 1.99 euros or have double for 3.95 euros best brekkie by far. The mini train to the old town was brill was very handy and ran until about 1am. Although you got pestered at nights with touts for bars and restuarants they were very friendly even if you did not want to go in. Best bar was Cafe De Mar on the main strip. They kept there happy hour of 2 euros a pint all night. Where most stopped at around 10.30pm. Going back next year looking to rent a villa this time.
- Useful Tips:
- Do not ignore the touts for beer and food. they give out good flyers. Try uo towards the Montechero Hotel and work your way down i think there are better bars and resturants. If planning on doing trips go to The Ticket Shop on the strip by far the cheapest and they were giving a free gypsy market trip if you booked any two trips. Watch out if going to the old town at night as most bars stop the happy hours around 8.30pm and start charging around 3 euros a pint.

- We stayed at the Solar de Sao Joao Apartments , which is at the bottom of the Strip , Just far enogh away without all the noise etc , But near enough when you wanted the Night Life , The Apartment complex was good , Nice and clean though the Apartments could do with updating particularly the Bathrooms , Maid service was excellent , with a Friendly Staff who did a very ggod job , complex is good with a nice Pool and Bar/Snack area though the bar closes at 8pm, As said before the strip is about 5 minutes walk away if you wany Food/drink later, all in all an excellent Break , Good Flight times and on time too ! I would use Ocean Beach for ease of booking and would definately go back to the Apartments , ( Maybe they`ll be refurbed in the bathrooms then ;-)#)
- Useful Tips:
- Get a Car for the day and search inland , it`s a beautiful Country with welcoming People in the inland Villages ..... Get off the beaten Track.

- Albufeira was a lovely location to visit, my partner and I had a very peaceful week as it was out of season. We met some really nice people who were extremely helpful. I've already recommended this place to many friends and family. Young people should visit between April-Sept though as that's when the party season begins and best weather of the year is between that time too. Good for couples and family holidays. One thing I will say is......bring tons of spending money to have a nice time as there is lots to do.
- Useful Tips:
- Look out for places that do different activities such as watersports activities, quad biking, jeep safari etc for a certain amount of euros. Most good hotels have plenty of leaflets that give you plenty to do throughout your holiday anyway so no worries there.

- Went here at the end of november for a bargain holiday with our two year old daughter. She thought it was the best thing ever!!! The weather was brilliant even at that time of year, and because it was off peak the main strip wasn't too busy. There are some great deal on boat trips and if you have chidren the zoomarine is a must! Beaches are lovely and clean with recycling bins so people don't tend to leave rubbish. The od town is only a short walk down the beach or bus ride from the new town and has lots of shops, restaurants and bars. Would recommen this destination to anyone!
- Useful Tips:
- Look out for all the excursions; fishing trips, boat trips and days out at places like the zoomarine.
