NH Lagos Algarve Resort
"Good location, about 10 minute walk to the center. The hotel is a maze it self, and the rooms aren't very big. But for us it worked out perfect because we knew we weren't going to spend much time at the hotel. So for breakfast and bed, it was a perfect location, and overall good."
