Kali M Posted September 4, 2005 Report Posted September 4, 2005 Thereuare, I just wanted to add a hotel for Portugal here: the Sheraton in the Algarve Providence. Sheraton Algarve HotelPraia Da FalesiaApartado P.O. Box 644, Albufeira, 8200PortugalI did not get hotel rooms through PL or HW, but through a travel agent while living in Spain. We happened to find a weekend during the off-season and got rooms for $50. Normally they are $250-350. This is one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever been in. I cannot say enough great things about it. WONDERFUL staff; beautiful tile walls; gorgeous grounds. The photos on the website ARE what it looks like. And from the grounds of this hotel, I have the best sunset photo I've ever taken in my life. The beach is pretty. The beds were the most comfortable I've ever slept in. It has a FANTASTIC Moroccan restaurant (we went for Valentine's day). I was stuffed and couldn't eat desert - asked for it to go; they took the assortment of delicates they had brought for dessert and then returned with not only those original ones, but a box full of them. We ate them for days! YUM.We happened to get upgraded from the room we paid for (which certainly was already worth more than the $50 we paid) to a "garden room" with a "lower level" step-down sitting room and a "balacony" on the gardens (though it was first floor). Delightful!If anyone wants to go to Portugal and can get this hotel for a good price through PL or HW, you WILL have a fantastic time!
