Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve

Close to alvor, nice pool , large grounds.

The staff was very good, particularly Sebastian at reception. He was very kind and helpful. The property was…weird. The hotel and property was run-down, though relatively clean, minus the ants in our room. The hotel decor was bizarre, leaning toward very tacky. The breakfast buffet was always ridiculously busy and the food quality was poor. After the first day, we opted not to bother going. The one adult swimming pool served hundreds of guests so was always overcrowded with all of the loungers taken by early morning. It felt like we were at a bargain basement all-inclusive resort (that wasn’t all inclusive) and was not cheap. That said, the beach was nice and easily accessible. I get the appeal for some but this is not the hotel or city to visit in the Algarve if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation. We’ll know better for next time.
