Top hotels in Cascalhos
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.

Belmar Spa & Beach Resort
Belmar was beautiful! It was the last stay on our trip and we enjoyed the splurge. The pool and spa facilities were really nice. Really liked our massages and the staff was friendly. The drinks and bites we got at the bar were also delicious.
