Baia Grande Hotel

I wrote a review earlier this evening on a hotel in Portugal but wrote down the wrong name. I put down the Praia Grande but it should have been Hotel Baia Grande. I apologise for my mistake.

We have just returned from a week at this hotel and it is really lovely. The hotel is clean and beautiful and quiet. We had a sea view room and its worth the extra money. The hotel is about 15 minute walk from 1 beach and a short bus ride (provided free by the hotel) for another much larger beach. The hotel is near 2 or 3 restaurants and bars but if you want something more lively, go into albufeira. The hotel lays on a free coach which finishes at 6:45pm but you can easily get a taxi back for around 5 euros, we had to queue at most for 15 minutes for a taxi but there were plenty of them coming and going. We really enjoyed our stay here, the hotel is peaceful, not overly busy and everyone is very friendly. Just watch out for the early sunbed stealer's, they get up at 8, put towels on beds then go to the beach, this really isn't on.

We booked this through expedia.com and everything was spot on! I'd highly recommend this hotel if you don't like to be too close to the hassle and hustle of a town. In our party were 4 adults and 2 under 10's and they loved it. The pool is big and very nice and the mermaid poolside bar does reasonably priced and nice food. If you speak to the staff nicely, they'll bring in fresh sardines especially for your lunch.

Hotel laid on a Portuguese BBQ evening which was great fun. All in all this rates as one of the loveliest holidays we've had!!! Thank you expedia.com and thank you baia grande hotel! We are definitely planning to go back here and we would use expedia again!!!
