Just a comment that might be of interest to people who don't want to commit to a wired connection. I'm not trawling for business (although it will probably appear that way) but I do sell various wifi products and will be out in Carvoeiro next week. I market a router that uses 3g BUT it is far superi...

Thanks for those observations. Perhaps you can come up with a better provider offering more than 5Gb because I can't. I asked a question some weeks ago about data only sims on payg and didn't receive as informative reply as I hoped for with no indication of cost or allowance. If I go payg with Vodaf...

Bingo...............August 31st Free Mobile Internet: Unlimited usage is subject to a fair use policy of 5GB per month. You must have a minimum account balance of 1 cent to use your internet, usage in excess of this allowance will be charged at our standard rates. Offer is not valid for roaming. Val...

How true, you'd think at my age I'd know what date it was ............... or perhaps it's because of my age!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to contact their customer services and re post accordingly

Your observation was greatly appreciated

I asked for any info on this site regarding data sim cards on pay as you go that provide a good allowance and was directed to a previous set of posts. I was looking for an equivalent to the 3 Network in the uk that offers unlimited data (and 300minutes & 3000 txts) for £15.00/ month and obviously no...

I need to be on line frequently wherever I am and use a Wibe 3G router that can provide a good 3g signal even if your phone isn't receiving any and can give up to 21 Mbs download. In the uk I either use 3 Network or GiffGaff both of whom offer unlimited (no fair usage policy) and cost £15.00 and £12...

Hi there, I appreciate and understand the support for Algarve Driver but it's all about the money honey as far as I'm concerned. I'm back and forth to Carvoeiro frequently and usually hire a car if I'm there for more than a couple of days. I use, and I've said it on here before, a company called Aut...

Hi, saw the post regarding free i-pads, I can't match that but if you are interested in getting an iPad I can get hold of them through a mate. The numbers are limited and he has 20 iPads going for less than half price – it’s first come first served. He has already sold one ( pic is below so you can ...

I checked yesterday and they weren't there and I checked again today and they were..........Ryanair flights from Leeds/ Bradford to Faro, Summer 2012...............so I booked a couple of seats for August 4th and accommodation at Monte Santo Resort again, I do like it there. Stayed at Monte Santo an...

I'm not sure about the 2 bed apartment thing having stayed at two quite gruesome properties at Rocha Brava and then more recently the pristine accommodation at Agua Vale da Lapa and before that Vila Domilu I know where my preference lies. I don't want to rough it on holiday, I did that years ago. Li...

I was in Carvoeiro a few weeks ago and had a lazy holiday at Agua Hotels Vale da Lapa near Sesmarias.....without children. I'm intending to return during the school holidays with 2 thirteen year old boys with me and I'm debating about where to stay. I'm familiar with the area having been a frequent ...

I booked to come and try this place last year but then the evil ash cloud descended and I gave it a miss. I still fitted a couple of weeks in at Carvoeiro during August staying somewhere else. Well I've decided I deserve a quick week away in May and have decided to book it again and see what it's go...

I've always used this company, cars are available, always had good cars.

Last year my hire car was broken into, the side window was smashed. Within 2 hours a replacement car was delivered, no hassle, no charges.

Thank you EMM but I'm very familiar with the area, and the attractions and facilities together with the parking problems it was just a bit of feedback on a couple of hotels that I was seeking. Thanks again

Your comments are appreciated, I've booked us into Monte Santo Resort, haven't a clue what it'll be like, assuming that we'll actually get there on Wednesday with the damned volcano thing then I'll put up a review when we get home.
