TL;DR:
Cascade Wellness is a fantastic family-friendly base in the Algarve with spacious apartments, great amenities, and a unique sandy-beach pool the kids loved. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone wanting comfort and easy access to Lagos.
Full Review:
We stayed 5 days and couldn’t be happier with the location and setup. Having an apartment instead of a standard hotel room gave our family extra space, a full kitchen, and a washer/dryer—saving money on meals and luggage space. Our boys loved having their own room, and we enjoyed having our own space as well.
The resort is very family-friendly, with many young families around, and the staff were friendly and fluent in English. The highlight for our kids was the pool with a sandy beach entry—a clever touch that meant they could play in sand without us having to go to the beach every time. There’s also a well-equipped gym, a games room, and a restaurant on site.
Only one drawback: the resort has just one main TV, so sports fans may need to go into town to watch games.
The location is excellent for exploring Lagos and the Algarve coast. The old town of Lagos is charming (though parking can be tricky—use the north-side garage), and from here it’s easy to explore other towns. We drove down from Lisbon, but Faro airport is an easy alternative.
Overall, Cascade Wellness offered comfort, space, and amenities that made our family trip smooth and memorable
