Barranco do Demo Walkways, Monchique hotel rooms at the Highgate Independent

"Easy to walk around, beach shuttle is great! Rooms are outdated, dog friendly hotel but no area for dogs to run around and play, had to cross the pool with dog from our room and go down stairs and elevators just to get outside and go for a walk for them to relieve themselves. "

"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!"

"RR Hotel de Rocha is a perfect spot to launch from for a beach vacation. Access to the Praia de Rocha is across the street! The friendly staff made us feel welcome and were very helpful. The hotel’s parking is 20€ per day (in late July 2025) and is located under the building. An amazing breakfast buffet is included every morning. So many fresh, delicious options that you can choose different items every day for a week! Walk to tens of restaurant and shopping choices. Due to the hotel’s location, there can be music and crowd noise at night. Things seemed to quiet down around midnight during our stay (Monday-Thursday). Make a plan and go and don’t forget the sunscreen!"

"Incredible and the staff was wonderful! "

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

"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."
