Praia da Luz, Portugal: Average Review Ratings

Weather

The weather was fantastic. We spent 5 days by the pool and one on the beach.
Our taxi driver said we had been lucky as it was sometimes very changeable in Oct/Nov.
The resort is very clean and well looked after.
There are very good, reasonably priced restaurants and the local shops sell all you really need even for a self catering holiday.
We normally go in May and the weather for the last 3years running has been fabulous as all we want to do is lie by the 'adults only' pool and relax.

Holiday

Very relaxing with some beautiful cliff top walks to nearby bays.
We ate out and self catered so had the best of both worlds

Places Recommended

Lagos
Golf courses nearby especially the local, cheaper one.

Weather

First time in May, it was a bit hit and miss. Some warm days but chilly nights, but as long as you were dressed for weather it was great.
Went again in June and it was wall to wall sunshine and the same applied to September.

Holiday

It was good for us as we just strolled around, went on the beach and caugh the bus to Lagos and Burgeau. That is why the mark for night life is low because as we're pensioners, we couldn't last all day and night!

Places Recommended

Lagos definitely. Burgeau, although the walk there was horrendous. Must have took wrong turning as it took us three hours. Was exhausted due to age!

Weather

Perfect, glorious during the day, cooler at nights so no bugs. Hot during the day, breezey at night, not a drop of rain, welcome slight breeze during some days.

Holiday

Brilliant all you could want for a great holiday. Our apartments were brilliant. Part of us are reluctant to say how good this place is but part of us want to shout about how great it is. Visited for the 1st time June 2009 and going back July 2010 - the only place we have ever been back to. Hot, clean, friendly, great weather, beautiful beach, fantastic food and great people. A bit on the pricey side but no chavs, just lovely people, nice families with well behaved children.

Places Recommended

Dolphin, Atlantic and not to be missed Chiccas

Weather

No such thing as guaranteed weather anywhere any more however if you go with a sensibly packed suitcase you will have a ball. On the whole days are still really warm and nights are cold but still much warmer than anywhere in the UK

Holiday

Absolutely wonderful. A beautiful place to visit and the bulk of people that are fortunate to find this place return year after year. People are so friendly, surroundings are superb and there is as much or little to do as you want

Places Recommended

By far the best 'craic' was in the Irish Legend Bar. Great characters on both sides of the bar and importantly they are genuine, helpful and we had such great fun. Not for the faint hearted!! They rent out gold clubs which is a bonus. It is the only Irish Bar. We visited Kellys & Nautalis Bar and enjoyed meals in Atlantico (which is above the Irish Bar) and The Dolphine (beside Kellys)
