Best Value Hotels in the Algarve
Sun-drenched and lined with golden sandy beaches, the Algarve is a well known, and well loved, beach holiday destination. Its paradise-like coastline and popularity haven’t made it unaffordable, though, and this is a great destination in which to start looking for great value accommodation. You’ll turn up big cheap and cheerful beach resorts in some of the larger towns and centres, including Faro, Olhão, Lagos and Tavira; as well as smaller hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs further inland, or in the smaller fishing villages. The Algarve is also a promising destination if you’re looking for romantic, yet affordable, accommodation.
