Barranco do Demo Walkways, Monchique hotel rooms at the Vila Gale Hotels

"Not my first stay here, definitely not my last. This is the premier hotel to stay in during afronation music festival"

"Excellent location! Amazing views! Great customer service! Everyone went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our stay! Beach, bars and restaurants within walking distance! Safe area for the entire family! "

"We really enjoyed staying there. We ate the breakfast and it was good. I don't know what is technically eco friendly except maybe they don't wash your towels every day unless you ask. The location is excellent since it was a short walk to the beach and most of the walk was walking across the area of land to get to the beach. Tons of activities nearby that are extremely fun. And there is more beach to the town than the first glimpse from walking over that you see. Sure not a five star hotel, but reasonable in price and worth more than the price"

"We absolutely loved our stay here. Felt very looked after and the food and facilities were of good quality. For the price we paid I would definitely say it is good value for money. The complementary train into Alvor town was also a lovely touch! "

"Beautiful property with great amenities. Close to shopping and restaurants. "

"Fantastic service from staff at time of check-in. Went above and beyond to get us set up with early check-in."

"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!"

"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."
