This four-pearl hotel is an upscale, albeit traditionally decorated, property within the grounds of the Quinta do Lago Country Club. It's a 10-minute walk from the beach along a bridge that crosses the Ria Formosa lagoon, and close to four world-class golf courses. The 141 rooms are elegant and sizable, with king-sized beds, robes, and marble bathrooms, but decor -- like a lot of the property -- is on the tired side. Excellent features include indoor and outdoor pools, buffet and a la carte restaurants, an expansive spa, and kids' club. Travelers looking for a more modern place to stay might want to check out the Monte da Quinta Resort.

The Monte da Quinta Resort is a luxury property geared toward golfers, as it's a brief drive from five world-class golf courses. The 132 apartment-style suites are stylish and exceptionally appointed with retro decor, well-equipped kitchens, furnished outdoor spaces, and spacious living areas. An elegant design pervades throughout, and features consist of a large outdoor pool, spa with treatment rooms and a hot tub, and a well-equipped gym. Two restaurants include one serving a buffet breakfast and dinner, and the other a fine-dining Mediterranean eatery. On the downside, this area is removed from the beach, restaurants, and nightlife. Travelers looking to stay within walking distance of the beach may want to check out the Dunas Douradas Beach Club.
