The staff was super nice and talkative. They seemed very genuine. Waves and winds were high that morning and we didn't end up going to any of the grottos despite that being the primary objective of the tour. The tour guide did try to keep us entertained and brought us to one of the beaches with snorkeling equipment, but I think most people were more interested in getting back at that point. We were promised a 2.5 hour tour and it was only 90 minutes at most. Can't really blame them for the weather conditions, but it would've been nice if they had offered an incentive for cutting the tour short and not being able to actually go into any of the grottos.

My family and I had a great time here! That was a decent amount of rides and water playground and…read moreslides for the youngsters. The water playgrounds were not deep at all and they had lifeguards working! There's a little kid water playground and then there's a bigger kid water playground to include waterslides that can be used by young or big kids. We literally spent all day here! Bring swimsuits and a towel if you plan on getting wet. Bring a lot of sunscreen. We did not need floatation devices for our kids because the pools were not deep at all. If I had to guess, mid calf height was probably the deepest for most adults. However, there will still be a line of parents watching the kids along with the lifeguard at the edge or in the pool play area itself. There are lockers to store things but they fill up to capacity fast. My youngest kid is about 3 1/2 feet and was able to ride all the rides except the adult pirate ship. Plenty of food choices so it won't be a problem. My only complaint, there are a lot of smokers here. Most try to smoke away from the kids, but the wind goes wherever it wants.

When we arrived at this park we didn't know what to expect, but we figured that it would be different than the parks we had been to in the US. As we imagined the experience was different, but we loved spending the afternoon here. The park was smaller than we expected, but everyone was polite, welcoming and relaxed. Not once did we experience the same busyness of the US parks we have been too, and it was nice to relax in their pools. The other great attractions in the park were the synchronized swimmers as well as the dolphin shows they had. In the end, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and we would totally stop here again if we were visiting Algarve.

Canico restaurant and Prainha beach, Alvor, Algarve, Portugal. Review by Suzie Killen…read more With its unbelievable rock formations, beautiful soft sands, amazingly yummy restaurant which includes a bar and café, and not forgetting the absolutely breathtaking sea views, this really is a location you have to see to believe. Having travelled all over the world in my 20s I can honestly say that this area is my all-time favourite. Throughout my childhood my family and I have had many unforgettable holidays here, so much so that my sister has chosen this place to celebrate the biggest day of her life in May 2011. Canico restaurant has very cleverly been built within the cliffs looking over Lagos Bay. To get to the bay below you can take an elevator down through the rocks, something I seem to want to do again and again and never tire of! The restaurant serves choices of Mediterranean cuisine as well as many traditional Portuguese dishes. There's a calming atmosphere during the day and a fantastic magical feel at night with the back-lit cliffs and local DJs or live music performing on the sands making you want to dance under the stars throughout the night! The beach itself is small but perfect, with crystal clear turquoise waters for bathing. Try taking a stroll and explore the many interconnecting quirky bays nearby. This really is such a memorable place that im somewhat reluctant to share it with others, but somehow I just can't keep it to myself either! I can guarantee you certainly won't be disappointed!

GREAT OUTFIT TO GO ON A KAYAK TRIP TO THE PONTA DA PIEDADE CAVES…read more============================================================= Weeks before my family's trip to Lagos, Portugal I did a lot of research on things to do. One of the things I really wanted to do was to go on one of the boats that would take us kayaking to some of the caves and grottos nearby. We ended up just booking the day before when we arrived in Lagos. It was so easy. There was a kiosk for Days of Adventure just west of our hotel on Avenida Dos Descobrimentos. You can also cross the footbridge to the marina and they have a desk and covered patio area on the southwest side of the marina. It was so easy. They also sell clear covers for your phone which I recommend so your phone doesn't get wet. We walked over the footbridge to the meeting point on Saturday, July 6, 2024 for our 11:00 a.m. check-in. The crew members took us to the boat and we were on our way. Definitely wear swimwear because you will get wet in the kayaks. The main reason is a lot of little boats will go zipping by causing waves. The boat ride was really short at about 15 minutes which was nice. I get seasick, so I took two Dramamine and I was just fine. Two people actually tipped over on the two person kayaks right after they launched it. We all had life vests and the crew was great. They helped the two guys get resituated on their kayak and we were on our way. We had so much fun kayaking around the grottos and caves at Ponte da Piedade. The only thing I didn't like were all the little boats zipping in and out of caves with no respect for getting too close to the kayaks. One guy in his little boat did that multiple times and it was really starting to piss me off, but I kept my mouth shut. I could just see the guy doing something more dangerous. I will send an e-mail to Days of Adventure to complain about that. I don't know if they can control other operators, but who knows.
