Estrela da Luz is a modest three-pearl aparthotel within a 10-minute walk of Luz's boardwalk and the beach. The simple property manages to pack a good bit into a 146-room package, including two casual restaurants, a spa, and three pools. The gym has a good selection of modern equipment and free classes. The apartments range from studios to four-bedroom units, with a basic, modern style, tons of space, and full kitchens. They're all air-conditioned and Wi-Fi is free. All in all, this is a solid and popular bet for a town with lots of aparthotel options. Those who'd prefer to stay closer to the charming old town in Lagos, just up the road, might consider the similar Marina Club Lagos.

The Hotel Belavista da Luz is a mid-range, family-run property set on a hillside overlooking the picturesque beach and resort of Praia da Luz. While the walk down to the beach and eatery-lined promenade is a fairly easy stroll, some struggle with the climb back uphill. The 45 rooms and suites are spotlessly clean, though the decor is a little dated, especially in the bathrooms. Higher-level rooms are treated to sea views from spacious balconies. Two pools, a sauna, steam bath, spacious game room, and tennis court means there's also plenty to do on-site. There's more for the kids at Hotel Baia da Luz, which has an outdoor playground and is also closer to the beach.

Families and couples looking for spacious apartments and a quiet vibe are in luck at the three-pearl Baia da Luz. The style here is humble and the 166 modern one- to three-bedroom apartments include full kitchens, big living rooms, and balconies plus air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The beach is only a five-minute walk away, and it's lined with lots of cafes and bars. There's a casual restaurant on-site, as well as a playground, tennis courts, and a lovely pool. Other features are slim, though, and the hotel is best for self-catering guests. Travelers who want extras like a spa and gym should consider this hotel's sister property, Estrela da Luz, instead, though it's farther from the beach and apartments are less sharp.
