Hotel Algarve Casino
Staff were lovely and rooms really clean. No complaints about the hotel. The resort was pretty much closed though, hard to even find a place for dinner. I know it’s out of season but this was dead. Would be hard without a car.

Lagos Atlantic Hotel
Wonderful hotel near the beach and boardwalks. I recommend heading here. They did a great job setting up the room for a surprise 50th birthday celebration — the romantic package upon arrival.
