Vila Vita Parc
Honestly, the only thing I would change is I wish the gym was open for longer than 7am-7pm. Other than that, I don’t have anything but wonderful things to say. This is a proper 5 star hotel

NH Lagos Algarve Resort
This property was nice. Needs a significant facelift. Property was clean, but out dated. Breakfast buffet was great, as was Italian restaurant. Gym needs complete redo, pools need cosmetic update. Good location and close to downtown and incredible hike.
