Sun-kissed Quarteira in central Algarve is one of southern Portugal's top holiday resorts; here, overlooking a beautiful expanse of sandy beach, you'll find the Dom Jose Hotel.

Sporty types will enjoy the excellent local leisure facilities. This area of the Algarve boasts some of the best golf courses in the region. Alternatively there is a huge range of water sports on offer, or if you fancy a change of scene, options such as karting and horse-riding can also be found locally. Nearby Vilamoura also offers an array of entertainments to be had. In the day you can explore the many shops that line the marina. When the sun goes down you can experience its dynamic nightclubs or try your luck at the casino.

##### The Dom Jose Hotel really does offer the complete package for your holiday in the sun:

The Dom Jose Hotel extends a warm welcome to every guest. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the stylishly appointed interior throughout. Tastefully decorated rooms complement the pleasant restaurant, terrace and pool areas – and with staff on hand to accommodate your every need, you'll know you're destined to have a lovely holiday.

Each stylish twin/double room is air conditioned and comes equipped with satellite TV and direct dial telephone. All feature a private bathroom. To really make the most of your stay why not opt for a sea view room complete with a charming balcony on which to soak up the sunshine? These are available for a small additional supplement.

To enjoy the Algarve sunshine, you have a choice: reclining by the Dom Jose Hotel pool, or soaking up some rays on the beach just outside. The hotel maintains an area on the beach complete with sunbeds and umbrellas (seasonal and at a small fee) so your total comfort is assured.

Venture beyond the hotel and you'll soon discover that as well as the beach right outside, the immediate area also hosts an eclectic selection of cafes and restaurants. Quarteira is renowned for its exceptional seafood and these eateries source their fish fresh each morning from the vibrant local market. Sampling these dishes is simply a must.

The Algarve is loved by all for its sun, sand, sea and sport and you will find that a stay at the Dom Jose Hotel guarantees a welcome which is as warm as the weather.

Dom Jose Beach Hotel


It isn't always easy to find a hotel with the right combination of amenities, comfort and elegance – all set in the right location. But when you choose the Algarve, the possibilities open right up.

Beautifully situated, overlooking the sea at Sesmarias, the Baia Grande hotel is a wonderful example of a hotel that meets all those criteria. Set in elegant, well-tended lawns, it shows how a modern hotel can look at one with its surroundings. You'll be assured of a warm welcome and a very comfortable stay – the wide ranging amenities mean you'll want for nothing.

##### Elegant surroundings and spectacular outlooks all within easy reach of Albufeira:

When you stay at the Baia Grande Hotel, you'll immediately notice just how well presented it all is. Clearly this is a hotel where great care and attention have been lavished on everything from the beautifully laid out swimming pools to the elegant guests' rooms.

All twin/double rooms are air conditioned, and feature full en suite bathrooms. You'll also have satellite TV, telephone, minibar and hairdryer. A safe and Wi-Fi are also available to hire. And, as you'd expect of a four star Algarve hotel, all guests' rooms have a balcony or terrace with a pool or ocean view.

The pool really is something very special. It's been beautifully designed – complete with a walkway to a central island, and is one of the most enticing on the Algarve. There is also an indoor pool – with sauna and Jacuzzi facilities. And you can hire the hotel masseuse to soothe away any aches and pains.

Another great benefit of staying at the Baia Grande Hotel is its location – just half a mile to Galé beach, and a couple to Albufeira. And to make it even easier for you to get there, you can catch a free bus to Albufeira or Galé from the hotel (weekdays only).

With its palm trees, and its beautiful sense of design, Baia Grande Hotel is a wonderful place to call your holiday home. It proves that finding the right kind of hotel is always worth the effort.

Everyone who's been there loves Albufeira. It's one of Portugal's favourite holiday destinations, and with good reason. The picturesque old fishing village has grown into a thriving, friendly place. It retains its picture postcard charm, but has still got plenty to offer today's holidaymaker.

Not surprisingly, people who love going to Albufeira love staying at the Inatel Albufeira. This wonderfully friendly hotel is located right in the heart of Albufeira making it the perfect place for holidaymakers to make the most of the gateway to the Algarve.

##### The Inatel Albufeira is the perfect place for holidaymakers in Portugal's favourite hotspot:

There's a lovely welcoming feel to the Inatel Albufeira; you'll experience it just as soon as you step into the bright, modern reception area. Guests don't just pass through; with free Wi-Fi on offer, it's a great place to spend a few minutes just taking it easy, perhaps rattling off a quick email and enjoying the laidback holiday experience.

In fact, everything about this hotel is designed with your relaxation firmly in mind. Whether you choose the fabulous indoor sports complex, or the large, outdoor swimming pool; whether you take a leisurely trip out into Albufeira; or enjoy a cool drink at one of the hotel's three bars, you can relax your way. This is your holiday, and the staff at the Inatel Albufeira want you to make the most of it.
There's certainly no shortage of ways to pack your day. We mentioned sports – you can enjoy billiards, snooker, football, volleyball and tennis, all within the hotel and grounds. The main pool and children's pool are both excellent too.

You'll certainly be able to relax in your room. All rooms at the Inatel Albufeira are comfortable en suites and each has a balcony. They come equipped with TV, telephone, hairdryer and mini bar. Safes are also available at a fee.

Rooms are light, bright and airy – and in common with the rest of the hotel, cheery. This is a fun place to stay, and a great place for you to experience everything Albufeira has to offer.

With an excellent on-site restaurant – and all the great bars and restaurants of Albufeira just a stone's throw away, you'll be able to enjoy the best of the local cuisine too. After all, that's all part and parcel of an Algarve holiday – look out for some sumptuous seafood and great local dishes…

The Inatel Albufeira is more than a great base. Like Albufeira, it gives holidaymakers just what they want – a bright, happy holiday experience, with all that Algarve charm.
