What a downright rude and ignorant guest ( Mr Candyfloss ) Why hide behind a 'guest' entry introduce yourself to us properly. Using rhyming slang to swear at a registered user of the forum is a absolute disgrace.
Go to a chatroom, leave us decent folk alone !!

I was last there 3 years ago. I tried to find it last year but got a bit lost and gave up. The roads around the back have been updated and it totally threw me. Would love to go again, the food is good and the hospitality is even better !!

I have stayed at this resort many times over the years. It has changed for the better recently as it had been bought by Pestana, the largest hotel and leisure company in Portugal. You may want to look at their website www.pestana.com The location is great away from the centre of town, nice and quiet...

There will always be people out there who dwell on the negatives about starting up a business. It may be they just don't want the competition !! It is dangerous to generalize as many of us know there are people who run successful business in Carvoeiro, they are busy in and out of the season. At the ...

I know this resort very well. It is on a cliff top with two beaches accessible either side (a bit of a climb !!) Quite a lot of the apartments have been re-furbished during the winter and if you stay in one you will be more than satisfied. Apart from the reception and swimming pool there is a small ...

Stayed in these apartments just over a year ago. Very small resort only 2 stories high around a nice swimming pool and garden. Apartments clean and well equipped, on site staff very friendly and accomodating. A few of the ground floor apartments have a small private garden area. Sesmarias itself has...

If you are looking for a hotel try the Almansor I have stayed there a couple of times and have always been happy. The facilities are good and you are a ...

I was watching the news on RTP and SIC last night. The fires are north of Lisbon and are proving quite difficult to get under control. Unlike the fires in Southern France they are due to natural causes not arsonists. I understand from a friend in Lisbon that temperatures hit 40C yesterday!!!

Maddi, This is great. I know I have upset some users lately what would life be without different opinions!! At least the topic posting indicated what I was about to read was not relevant to Carvoeiro. When it is presented this way I really have no problem. Thanks for making me smile early on in the ...
