Algarve hotel guide. Highgate Independent hotel in Algarve, Portugal

"This resort is luxury level at a very reasonable price. The room was high end, with everything we needed in the resort. I would have preferred a different coffee maker in the room (it had a Nescafe Dolce Gusto), but that's a very minor issue. The appliances were great. It took a while to figure out the clothes washer, but once we had that in hand, we had no issues. The proximity of the resort to the beach was fantastic and all of the pools were high end. This is in a secluded part of Lagos so it's great if you like a quiet resort. It was almost always only 4 euros to take a Bolt to the Marina. It was also only a short walk to the Lagos Boardwalk. All in all, this was a fantastic find."

"Great location - right on the main hub- as close to old town with out being inside the walls and totally walkable are with tons of great food and atmosphere for all types and levels of activity Hotel staff were great and the rooms were perfect for us. "

"Really enjoyed our 2 night stay. Brendon and the other 2 workers at Breakfast were awesome and very helpful too. The rest of the staff were friendly too. Nice room and sea view. The only small issue was the gym was very small and old equipment."

"Overall a very nice stay with location convenient to get to the city center and to the lighthouse with extensive boardwalk that covers large area of natural caves"

"Breakfast buffet excellent and good service. "

"The location and breakfast were great."

"Amazing location, just up from the beach/views and walking trail. Not far from downtown. Full kitchen, and living area!"

"The buffet was plentiful, with good gluten free options. The pool side service was great, and the bartenders were all smiles "

"Staff was attentive when needed. Very calm and relaxing. If your are looking for a slower pace, relaxation and good food, this is a nice place. Food is fairly expensive compared to the local town a 10 minute walk. A variety of restaurants are available and multiple tourist shops. Parking is horrible, so use service from the airport and the hotel has rental cars if needed, also a Tuk Tuk that transports to Carvoeiro if choosing not to walk the 10 minutes. Great stay. "
