coldel Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Afternoon Zedders. Had a bit of a rush of blood and just booked a reasonably well rated hotel in the Algarve (Grand Muthu Fort do Vale I think its called) - I really have no idea about the Algarve and since then people have mentioned its in stag/hen do hell. Anyone got any experience of Albuferia? Basically we want a decent hotel, a few things to do in it (spa, gym etc) some places to eat and drink around it near a beach and within striking distance of places we can pick up a boat excursion or similar. But as we will have our 7 year old with us, would prefer not to be navigating groups of hammered 20 year olds effing and blinding. We have just put down a couple hundred quid deposit so its no biggie to change - just wondering if the hotel is likely to be ok, or if we might need to consider something else. We are really set on Portugal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D12TEE Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Albufeira is pretty much top 3 stag places that i sell at work, so yeah, you'll find quite a few stag dos if youre going in peak season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I had my first visit to Lagos in 2018 it was a lovely little authentic town not mad busy but could possibly be a good shout with the young one. The rep did tell us albufeira was a bit like magaluf of Portugal but I didn't visit it so can't comment the beach at Lagos Is very nice also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s known for its walled old town, cliffs and Atlantic beaches. Steep wooden steps lead to the sandy cove of Praia do Camilo. The nearby cliffs of Ponta de Piedade offer sweeping headland views and a lighthouse. Igreja de Santo António, an ornate 18th-century church, sits across from the Castelo dos Governadores, a castle with a baroque facade and watchtowers.
