Once again we have had a great 2 weeks holiday in the Canavial apartments. Both of the villas have been newly decorated inside and out in very tasteful colours. The rooms as always are spotlessly clean and the service from the staff was great. This year there is a new reception area based at Canavial 1 and also a new receptionist to cater for all your needs. The receptionists name is Andrea and he is a local lad and knows the area well and speaks very good english and can advise on hireing cars,bicycles trips out and the locations of all the attractions that Lagos and the surrounding areas have to offer. If you are a newcomer to the Lagos area on first impressions you may think the apartments are a little out of the way but think again. It is only a 2 minute walk to hop on a local bus into town. The local shops, bars and restaurants are just a ten minute walk away and the vibrant and historic city of Lagos is only a 20 minute walk, where there are great places to eat out and for the younger ones liveley bars and disco's if you feel like shaking your stuff.
The Canavial Apartments are ideal for couples wanting a relaxing holiday or great for families looking for a great base to stay and go exploring around the Algarve.

Dont miss out by not booking a holiday at the Canavial Apartments this year, its great value for money.

loved it nice and quiet location but handy for local resteraunts we hired a car to travel round in but realy no need as taxis and buses cheap this was our first time in portugal but wont be last the apartments were kept spotless as was the pool area pool was cold but nice i would gladly rec to anyone

We stayed at Canavial Apartments for a weeks holiday at the end of June and as our first trip to Portugal, couldnt have been happier with our choice. The apartments are a 15 minute walk from the centre of Lagos, but the walk is pleasant and there is a well stocked shop, and restaurant and bars nearer. Taxi's to and from the centre of Lagos seemed to be a fixed rate of 4 Euros and easy to get. The beach which is only a 5 minute walk down hill has a cafe/restaurant on the left and an excellent restaurant further up on the right where we had dinner a couple of nights as service and food was so good, and who wouldnt want to stare out to sea while eating! It was very hot, 30 degrees plus while we were there so the unheated pool wasnt a problem, cold for the first second, then lovely! The poolside was never overcrowded and although often other people around it wasnt noisy. Perfect to relax! Rooms are clean and have all you would expect, we had a really large balcony which you could see the sea on the horizon (perfect for a glass of shop brought wine while getting ready for the evening). I would recommend the rooms on the second floor as the outside space for rooms downstairs was overlooked by anyone around the pool. I would really recommend here if you dont mind a short walk into the centre and are looking to relax and plan your days as you wish. Theres no bar / reception / restaurant so you are left to get on with your holiday - just what we wanted. Only one pillow per bed and lack of toilet roll - hardly a big problem. You have to carry your own bags up a flight of stairs if you have a room on second floor.

would recommend these appartments quiet and not a bad location 3rd year on the bounce and no regrets from myself or other users
