The 35 apartments at Canavial are spread among a series of laid-back residential-style compounds, a 10-minute walk from secluded Praia do Canavial. These dated digs won't win any style awards, but all apartments include kitchenettes, outdoor seating, free Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, and air-conditioning. Each of the compounds has its own pool, and there's lawn space with fruit trees that make for a home-away-from-home vibe (that is, if your home was in the Portuguese sunshine). Otherwise, features are few -- there's no restaurant or even breakfast service. As such, it's most appealing to travelers wanting to self cater in a quiet, residential area. For a humble option closer to town with more traditional hotel amenities, check out Hotel Marina Rio instead, though rates are a touch higher.

Dom Pedro Meia Praia Beach Club is a mid-range apartment hotel right across from the beach in the north of Lagos. The 75 apartments come in Studio and One- and Two-Bedroom configurations, and all have small kitchenettes. Units above the ground floor feature furnished balconies and higher-level units often have sea views. Amenities here are geared toward families and include a large outdoor pool with a separate whirlpool, a game room with pool and foosball, and a grassy outdoor playground. Meals are served at the on-site, privately run Portuguese restaurant. Travelers looking for something slightly more upscale may want to consider Costa D'oiro Ambiance Village, located south of central Lagos, which offers rooms and apartments alike, and a massive free breakfast buffet.
