Hi Angela,
We have returned from our Portugal trip. We had a really good time and enjoyed all three places we visited! The My Story Ouro hotel in Lisbon was a great central location with easy access to pretty much everything- lots of restaurants and shopping close by, walking distance to Alfama and other neighborhoods etc.
The Aqualuz in Lagos fit our needs well. It was within walking distance to town where we went in the evenings and we really enjoyed Lagos. It was also not too far from the beach.
We had a great time in Porto and were pleasantly surprised by how lively the city was, especially in the evenings. The Neya Porto hotel was very nice. We spent most of one of our days in the Douro valley. We had a really good tour, boat ride, etc. that ended up being just us and another couple. We also did lots of other fun activities in Porto and even went to the beach for surfing on one of the days.
It was a great trip. It was nice working with you to plan it.
Thanks again and take care,
Cindy
