What's not to like?
Albufeira is a great place to visit. The beach is nice, the city is nice, lots of great cafés, restaurants, bars and so on. A bit from the Old town is also The Strip and Praia da Oura. Go on a boat or rent a kayak to the Benagil caves. Rent a car and discover other parts of the Algarve, such as Portimao, Lagos, Faro, Carveiro etc.

Excellent location and all year good climate
Great choice of restaurants, and bars, with friendly low prices. Get a local car rental and easy to drive around the coasts but avoid using motorway toll roads

Excellent New town restaurants. Señor Frogs' for the best pizza and cocktails. Urban pizza for pasta, meat and pizza. Laras place for fish and chips. Wonder Inn for good value homemade food. Golden Garden for Chinese (platter meals are great). Big Shanghai Chinese great alternative, the Clay oven is an excellent Indian restaurant.

Nightlife
The nightlife was brilliant, plenty of disco bars there. I felt safe with the many police and security near the bar. Our hotel was very convenient and stayed open late and was well stocked with many different beers from the local Portuguese beer to the many world beers
