We thoroughly enjoyed our week-long visit to the Algarve at Browns. Our 2 bedroom Villa was spacious, nicely decorated and had all the amenities usually found in nice hotels. We were delighted that the kitchen came fully equipped, there was absolutely no need for us to use the plastic utensils we had purchased on the way.
Unless you only plan on staying poolside, enjoying the health-club/classes and outdoor sports facilities, and playing golf, we highly recommend that you rent a car for your visit.
We enjoyed short day-trips each day (i.e. Lagos, Faro, Sagres and the nearby lighthouse, Olhao, etc.), and still had time to enjoy the many public beaches in the area (some secluded little coves, as well).
A few evenings we spent strolling at Vilamoura's marina and enjoyed dinner at one of the many restaurants.
The resort staff was friendly and attentive, and when a personal issue arose, they made every effort to accommodate us.
We look forward to a repeat visit to Browns and the Algarve
