Pestana Group in Barranco do Demo Walkways from AU$234

"We stayed at Iberostar Lagos in late July with our extended family — 8 of us, including grandparents, kids (ages 7 and 9), and adults with different dietary needs — and it exceeded expectations. The location is unbeatable: right above Meia Praia, with stunning ocean views and easy beach access. You’re close enough to enjoy the energy of Lagos town (just a 5–10 minute drive) but far enough to feel relaxed and quiet. Rooms were modern, clean, and spacious. Loved the water stations all throughout the hotel. The staff was absolutely fantastic!!! Carolina, the manager, was always available and helped us with restaurant recommendations and planning our day. Top notch! Ismael and Anna were excellent from the check in process to any questions we had in between. Paulo and the entire bar staffed attended all our drink needs and were very friendly. The kids loved the kids club and the staff there (2 lovely ladies). Breakfast buffet in the morning was lovely. Shalini at the egg station was extremely nice and a great chef. Service was friendly, and the hotel had a mellow, unpretentious vibe. The pools (indoor and outdoor) were clean and not too crowded, and our kids loved taking a quick dip in the mornings. Iberostar Lagos hits the mark. Would definitely return!"

"We stayed in one of the apartments, was absolutely gorgeous, very spacious ! The location wasn’t great, travelling about 20minutes to get to anything however it was quiet and peaceful! If you are a formula 1 NASCAR fan you will absolutely love everything about this place. I don’t recommend eating on site, prices are high. The pool was amazing, lots of room, shade coverage and chairs provided ! Lots of space to play lawn games! "

"Incredible and the staff was wonderful! "

"Amazing location at the heart of Praia da Rocha. Highly recommend to stay here. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, overall very clean. Only stayed for one night, but I am planning to return to explore more the South part of Portugal and will try to stay here again because of its location and ammenities. Breakfast was included, with many options."

"Although ours was a very short stay.. I can say this for sure that this is in such a great location. Walking distance to EVERYTHING! Yes the beach is not walkable but they have shuttles. The marina is just a walk over the bridge. So many shopping and dining options. Boat tours from marina easy to access as well. Breakfast was also very good. Room spacious and clean. We didn’t use the pool but it looked nice. Bar was good and there was a happy hour. In the evening they had someone playing the guitar which was nice as well. I would stay here again if going to Lagos. "

"Central. Great view. Very clean. Lovely staff. Breakfast abundant. Honestly perfect"

"Loved our stay there! Everything was amazing! The food, the pools, the cliffs, and the beach! Make sure you check out the Wine Cavs and have dinner at the Ocean restaurant. It’s worth it!"

"We spent 5 wonderful days at Wyndham Alvor. The staff is wonderful! The restaurant serves delicious quick meals. The breakfast buffet is definitely worth it! The beach is a quick 3-5 minute walk from the hotel. The beaches are gorgeous and clean with boardwalk access all the way from the Tres Irmaos Bach rocks to the town of Alvor. I highly recommend this as an amazing spot to stay in the Algarve."

"Just an outstanding property. Apartment was extremely spacious and very clean. Weirdly, we stayed in a 2 bed apartment last year which had a washing machine but our 3 bed this year did not (!). Location is perfect. A short 5 minute walk to the supermarket and 5-10 minute walk to the marina and old town which has lots of shops and restaurants. I’d like to specifically mention Amy at the pool bar who was genuinely brilliant throughout our stay. She was so helpful with regards to restaurant recommendations and was such a lovely person to deal with throughout our stay. Overall, Marina Club is just outstanding, we are really looking forward to our next stay. Highly, highly recommended."
