FAQs about hotels in Algarve

Sun and Fun in the Algarve

A paradise of yellow sandstone cliffs and turquoise waters that's full of green golf courses and seasoned with delicious food and rich history, the Algarve region in Portugal has lively spots, quiet corners, and inland areas that well deserve a visit. From the banks of the Ria Formosa lagoon in the east, to the high cliffs of Sagres on the southwest tip of Europe, the region is a great option for a sunny holiday and Booking.com will help you find the best hotels in the Algarve.

The name of this Portuguese region comes from the Arabic Al-Gharb, meaning ‘The West’, but before being part of the Moorish empire, it was inhabited by ancient tribes, and successively by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, and Visigoths.

When it officially became part of Portugal, it gained fame as a centre for trade. The beautiful city of Lagos still offers a picturesque and colourful historic centre that recalls its important position in the area.

Flying into Faro Airport puts the whole region at your fingertips. The best all-inclusive hotels in the Algarve include their own golf course, an activity very popular in this region. If you just want sea and sun, then keep an eye on our deals for the best beach hotels in the Algarve.

    We recently stayed at Marriott Salgados Palace Algarve and were impressed by every moment of our visit. The hotel not only meets the highest expectations – it exceeds them. Our first impression was exceptional: we were warmly welcomed with champagne and fresh fruit – a truly thoughtful and gracious gesture. Throughout our stay, the staff were incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. We didn’t just feel like guests – we felt truly valued. The rooms have been completely renovated, featuring a modern design and extremely comfortable beds that made our rest truly enjoyable. Every detail was carefully considered. Breakfast was also a highlight – not only generous, but also freshly prepared to order. It was the perfect way to start each morning: delicious, relaxed, and tailored to our preferences. Our stay left us with warm memories. If you’re looking for top-level service, comfort, and a real holiday atmosphere – this hotel is absolutely worth your attention. We hope to return again soon.

A short walk to the nearest mini mart for essentials. Close enough to Carvoeiro to walk in and back, around 15 minutes. The manager was there for any queries and was very helpful. I would definitely return at some point. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

    Albufeira is by far one of the best places to visit.

    Albufeira is by far one of the best places to visit. Went with Hubby, 21 and 24 yr old boy and girl. We visited mid August which we realized was peak season so the beaches were relatively crowded. However there are so many to choose from you can easily find a spot that's not too crowded. Eating out is very affordable on an average night out for family of 4 dinner is under $100, they drive on the R side of the road like the US... the euro is stronger than USD so get the EURO. Two of the fun group things to share: Go on the Barbeque boat/cave tour best deal for your money, Buggy countryside ride, good fun! Stayed 10 days and was on the flight back planning the return trip, only this time were thinking of a fall visit.

    Faro is great for a short stay, with some beautiful churches to explore. The best part, though, is how well connected it is to other fantastic destinations like Lagos and Tavira. Plus, it’s just a quick 12-minute taxi ride from the hotel to the airport.

    The access the majority of the local beaches is via ferry or boat taxi. There is a beach about 20 minutes away you can drive to and park but it can get extremely busy. I think our preference is to be able to access the beach without having to take a ferry or water taxi. Having said that, the beaches are very clean and water is beautiful. The umbrellas and sun chairs are pretty pricey.

    Alvor is a fairly small resort, made up of a series of small fairly narrow walkways that are lined with the various restaurants, bars, and small shops. Most of the streets / walkways lead down to the seafront where you find the main three or four fish restaurants, that cook up the catch if the day, for the hundreds of locals, and tourists that decend into the area each evening. Alvor is very family friendly, there are no hen or Stagg parties, and no groups of people singing their favourite football chant from the outside of bars. There are families walking round of an evening, deciding where to eat enjoying their break away, removed from the normal treadmill of life. So great relaxing location, lots of places to eat and drink, in a small fairly compact location,.

    Carvoeiro is a great place to use as a base camp, especially for families looking to see the area. The boardwalk is awesome and we explored the caves and jumped from one of the cliffs. We went on the sunrise kayak tour from Carvahlo beach to see Benagil cave, which was amazing and ended up spending the whole day at Carvahlo Beach. Silvas is close by and worth a day trip as well.

    A beautiful town with everything you need on a family holiday all within an easy walk of most accommodation. Not too busy which was an added bonus and the locals are all very friendly. A stunning beach and plenty of local attractions that will immerse you in the history of the area and Portugal. A visit to the fort is a must for history buffs and watching the sunset at the lighthouse is essential.

    One of the nicer areas I've visited in the Algarve.

    One of the nicer areas I've visited in the Algarve. A few tourists about about not nearly as busy as Tavira, and as Olhao is a working fishing port, it still has that "local" feel to it. Decent esplanade adjacent to the harbour area although the only poor "rip-off" meal we had during our stay was along the front so my advice would be to go slightly inland where the quality of the food and value for money is a lot better. Nice and sunny during our stay but a bit windy so worth taking a jumper or fleece for the evenings. Best meals were at Piteu ds Baixa Mar, Taberna D'Olhao, Cafe Snack Domino and O Trevo. Worst was Churrasco Grill for reasons mentioned above.
