Winter Break

Stayed for a week just before Christmas, in one of the townhouses. The accommodation was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Maid service was provided daily and was efficient and friendly. One of the key considerations for visiting the Algarve at this time of year was to have good heating - it does get cool in the evenings! No issues there - the aircon units were able to warm the rooms up pretty quickly. There was also wireless internet and satellite TV for evenings in. The resort also has plenty of parking and good leisure facilities (although we only used the golf course). Ate in the restaurant once and enjoyed it. Overall, this was a good choice for a winter break. Although a few restaurants in the Lagos area were closed for holidays, most things were open and there was still lots to do.
