Lagos Avenida Hotel
We loved every minute of our stay here. The breakfast was some of the best food we had in Lagos. We used the pool and had drinks in the lobby which was lovely. The hotel is across from the marina which gave easy beach access. Shopping and food just a few minutes away. Would highly recommend!

Hotel Algarve Casino
Apart from a burnt-out overhead light in the bathroom, my room and experience were top-notch. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. The buffet breakfast was superb, and the setting—right along the beachfront—could not have been any better. I highly recommend the Algarve Casino.
