What a wonderful resort in Albufeira! From golf, tennis, paddle (which I knew nothing of but was cool to learn) to the beach and 5 pools, 12 places to eat on property (and 100’s more just a short walk or drive away). All friendly staff, speaks multiple languages and very accommodating. We stayed in a condo which was perfect for our family.
