I love Olhos do Aqua and have been many times and stayed all over but i had never spied these apts before which is surprising as its a large complex but sort of hidden away they are great with all the ameneties you could need , modern and spacey and a great location. I am seriously only going to stay there on my next visits its perfect and well priced too.
We love olhos cos its on the outskirts of busy Albufeira 5 min in taxi so you can pop in.
This resort is quoeter by far but at the same time has enough to keep you occupied with the likes of bars and lovely restaurants, its a more traditional area.
The beaches are lovely there is a selection of coves and bays but also the longer stretches of beach Falasia and maria Luisa are our favourites.
Olhos means eyes and Aqua means water .. the cliffs have 2 holes in them and when the tide comes in it pushes the water through the holes in the cliffs .(the holes being the eyes) and and the locals say the cliffs are crying hence olhos do Aqua -Eyes of water..

We usually travel with a travel agent but did it alone this time. Easy jet from East Mids and then yellowfish transfers . com from the Airport , these guys were good actually an yet it was the part i was more worried about i was worried they would not see us , but actually they were dead visible there was a sea of yellow polo shirts and 2 signs with big yellow fishes on you couldnt miss them. Same with the car it was lovely a big smiley fish on the side . lovely logo. And the driver was friendly and gave us a little gift.
Try nelsons bar /restaurant , Ambrosia Nectar and fratellis Italian.
La cigale on the beach looks ans is gorgeous but you really do pay for the location.
Hope my review helps...
