Faro isn't a great destination for tourists.

Faro isn't a great destination for tourists. It's a normal working city and not where you want to find yourself when it's hot. As cities go it's quite run down in a lot of areas and doesn't have a lot to offer. On Sunday especially it felt as though the whole city had been abandoned. Things were closed and boarded up and there just wasn't anyone around. Use Faro airport but be sure to base yourself somewhere prettier with great local beaches within walking distance of the old town - like Lagos.

Vilamoura is on the up.

Vilamoura is on the up. Money seems to be invested and it was noticeably cleaner and smarter than our previous visits. Its easy to get to from the airport - less than 30 minutes transfer - and the roads are good, plenty of parking, signposts perhaps less so! The marina is lovely, but can get quite busy, especially of an evening, but the wide choice of bars and restaurants mean prices are quite good value. If you go one or two streets back from the waterfront, the quality remains similar, but the prices drop too. Falesia beach is a lovely beach, probably the better of the two beaches either side of the marina, and The Thai Beach Club is great for lunch, daybeds, or dinner, and goes crazy at weekends!

The best town on the Algarve. No rowdy crowds, some great places to eat and generally quiet. Great beach and lots of accommodation at varying levels. I travel there regularly. A regular visitor to the Algarve, I either stay in Tavira or Vale do Lobo (for golf).

Quarteira is a beautiful and relaxing place with a lovely beach and stunning ocean views. The promenade is perfect for a walk, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés to choose from. The locals and hotel staff were friendly, and I felt very welcome throughout my stay. The only downside was the extreme heat during my visit, but that's simply the weather and not the town itself. Overall, I had a wonderful holiday and would happily visit Quarteira again.

Plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from but no noises night clubs which was great for us. Plenty of local vibe. The market was great for fresh produce and especially on a saturday when local producers added to the selection. The atmosphere was great. Lovely walk along the promenade which extended into a nature reserve. We were there for 3 weeks and found Olhao relaxing and very enjoyable

Full of life with plenty of restaurants and shops, though generally expensive and overpriced. There is a long, wide promenade that is very pleasant for an after-dinner walk (with informal market stalls open at night). The beach is excellent and easy to access - great for families with kids at low tide. However, Monte Gordo can get quite noisy on weekends and during the high season (July–August), especially due to music events at restaurants/bars and the beach bars (roof tops). Great if you’re looking for a party atmosphere, but best avoided in peak months if you prefer something quieter.

What I liked:

What I liked: Cabanas de Tavira is a beautiful, peaceful, and family-friendly place. It has some of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve, and the sea water is not as cold as in other parts of Portugal. It is a perfect destination for a relaxing holiday. What could be better: There is not much nightlife or entertainment in the evening, so it may feel a little too quiet for people looking for a more lively destination.

Quinta do Lago is stunning.

Quinta do Lago is stunning. From pavement tiles to leaves on trees, the whole place feels perfectly curated whilst nature lends a hefty hand. There are plenty of scenic walks, with several restaurants and bars within walking distance too. However if you want more from your trip, I would recommend hiring a car. Ubers are aplenty but costs can rack up compared to car hire which is very reasonable as public transport is severely lacking in the area. Plus a car allows you to fully experience the surroundings and perhaps visit places you can’t on foot. QDL is a must visit if travelling to the Algarve.

Nothing special, but they have a great internal beach in which you can swim like in a lake and the water was very calm and warm in end of May. Mind the fact that in that early season an umbrella and two sunbeds are charged 20 euro while in Altura at the same time totally for free.
