Carvoeiro Holiday Reviews

Affordable yet not cheap would be how I would describe Carvoeiro. There are enough restaurants and bars to offer variety and quality. Even the cheapest can be cheerful and offer good service and quality. Local beaches are fantastic, very clean and vast. Highly recommended.

The location was beautiful and there were loads of things to do. The prices were reasonable and the food in the restaurants was very delicious. I cannot wait for our return trip there.

Clean resort with many restaurants serving food from many different nationalities. Mainly Portugees bars with a sprinkling of English bars staffed by Portugees. Good selection of gift shops. Small clean beach set in a cove. Hilly but flat in the centre.

Everything was no more than 5/10 mins walk, with plenty of bars and excellent choice of restaurants along 3/4 mini marts.A local bus service took you took you to zoomarine and the other nearby attractions top place to go.

A short walk into town & the beach - an ideal destination for a relaxing holiday - can't wait to return, already booked for 2010

This is a lovely holiday village, complete with shop and resturant. With two pools and a kids playgroup and kids club. There is not much going on around the village. There are a few pizza places close by and a short bus ride which the complex puts on takes you to the nearest beach. To be honest you don't need it. Its the perfect quiet place to hide away with the family. The kids loved the pools and playground. Everyone was really helpful and friendly.

10-15 mins walk into town centre. The cliff route to be recommended rather than down the busy main street.Lots of choices for restaurants, pubs, etc.Some of the cities were bigger than I thought, my expectations were more sleepy fishing villages. The beaches are the highlight of Portugal for me.

Not the greatest of resorts, not many 'nice' resturaunts. Only 1 or 2 that you woudl actually want to go into looking at the front of them. The ones right on the beach were nice, but others were pretty average.

Be prepared the portuguise over salt everything, there is a resturanunt up the side of the beeach where you are on a rooftop terrace, the place was very nice and the food looked amazing but it took about 3 days to get rid of the burn of salt!

Piri piri chicken was nice in teh various places we had it but was very small, it may as well of been a Robin or budgie rather than a chicken, tho this is the same everywhere we were told.

Fresh fish was great on sea front places.

Not alot to do in the resort, not many bars and the ones that are there were empty. Irish times was sometimes busy but the owner bloke was incredibly misrable!

I would say dont go to this resort but go to albufera.

Nice small resort,clean and tidy,friendly staff at stores and cafe's.resonable prices are charged by every cafe.The little train is ideal for young and old,use it to see the resort and the surrounding area,

Fab location, not too far from beach and great restaurants nearby. There was a swimming pool that was a good size so no one would be squashed, kids play area and tennis courts, this gave the children loads of options of what they wanted to do in the day.

Carvoeiro is a very clean resort. Most of the restaurants are quite expensive but the food is not too bad.

The centre has a variety of eating establshments covering most tastes from local selctions to indian, chinese and tapa's, as with all beaches in the algarve clean and sandy - no pebbles.A small selection of shops offering various items.

Nice small resort with plenty of bars and excellent restaurants. Not for young uns looking to party.

Real nice place to take your partner, night life was great, the clubs were packed with people and the cost of food and drink were cheap.

The resort has a very friendly village type of appeal with plentiful restaurants and bars set around a square that is being renovated at the moment and should be finished in May 2009. There is a small beach by the main square but there are plenty of other lovely beaches within 5 minutes drive of the main resort. You could eat out every day for two weeks and still not have tried half of the restaurants!
