The Editory By The Sea Lagos Hotel
"Beautiful hotel. Location excellent for access to beautiful beaches and the old town. Staff all very friendly and helpful."
NH Lagos Algarve Resort
"We most enjoyed these aspects of NH Algarve Lagos resort: easy and vlose access to the pool (we were in block C) and pool bar/food, the complimentary breakfast, restaurant options, and the beach shuttle. We much appreciated the beach loungers and sunshade already on the beach for us for just $12/day. We also enjoyed the beach NH restaurant. The tiles and decor of the hotel are beautiful. Carpeted hallways could use a refresh. Great location near bus stop, train station, and Lagos Marina. We loved that!"
