    Looking for suggestions for All Inclusive Algarve hotel for 2 adults late fifties/early sixties, travelling from Dublin or Belfast airports. Ideally a hotel with good accommodation and food, evening entertainment, and a nice central location - would prefer "walkable" location rather than taking taxi to the strip/town/marina. Not fussed on pools or spa, just good hotel. Have been to Croatia, Rome, Costa del Sol, Paris etc, so not complete novices, just need suggestions on good places (or indeed what resort) to stay in. Over to you all......

    www.booking.com

    Lots of filters to narrow your search - including location. Free cancellation is my no.1 filter

    Yes, thank you, but I suppose I'm looking for personal recommendations from people who have found their fantastic hotel in the area and return year after year. Most of the Tripadvisor reviews are from pre pandemic, so a bit out of date as some of the properties are no longer as they were in 2019. Not knowing the area or distances, perhaps someone can enlighten me. Thanks for your response.

    Hi stayed in https://www.vilagale.com/pt/hoteis/algarve/vila-gale-ampalius before covid.

    Lovely hotel, just across from the beach, very short walk to marina where there are some nice bars etc.

    slightly more upmarket than the resorts around it. we were there in that may and the crowd were of a more mature age group so no lager louts etc.

    handy for some bus/boat tours as well wthe latter being well worth it.
