Dining
Guests can enjoy cocktails in the Laguna Bar before dining in one of two superb restaurants - the Ca d'oro serves fine Venetian cuisine in an elegant atmosphere, while the Navegadores offers a varied menu featuring many traditional Portuguese specialities. Only the freshest local produce is used. Light meals are also available at the poolside bar. Room service is available 24 hours per day. For the convenience of our guests, there are non-smoking areas in our restaurants.
Ca d'Oro
A Venetian restaurant with a Mediterranean twist, the Ca d'Oro offers a comprehensive menu that includes a number of classic dishes you are unlikely to find elsewhere in the Algarve. The famous Carpaccio Classico con Salsa Cipriani (thinly sliced raw tenderloin beef with Cipriani sauce) is a notable example. The pastas are all home-made, and many of the ingredients that give Venetian cuisine its distinctive flavor - the finest olive oils, flour, vinegars, Parmesan and seasonings - are all imported from Italy. An excellent wine list includes 22 different Italian wines which are unavailable in Portuguese wine shops, and there are 20 different types of grappa to choose from. The restaurant's intimate atmosphere, with Venetian style decor, is enhanced by resident Brazilian guitarist Percival. Guests can enjoy a pre-dinner drink in the adjoining bar and outdoor terrace, which has glorious views of the Ria Formosa Natural Park and the ocean beyond. Open every day for dinner only. Reservations are recommended

& Things To Do
* Portugal's leading golf courses are to be found in the Algarve, including nine within easy access of the hotel, and are of world-championship standard. They provide an exhilarating experience for both the seasoned golfer and the occasional player. Conditions are ideal for golf all year. * Miles of superb, golden, sandy beaches are a sunbather's paradise. Every kind of watersport is available, including excellent sailing, with remote coves to drop anchor and relax in, marinas such as Vilamoura and picturesque fishing villages. Hire a dinghy or charter a yacht and experience the excitement of sailing the Atlantic. Deep sea fishing is also on offer for those who want to wrestle with swordfish, ray, tuna, shark or snapper. Waterskiing, windsurfing and scuba diving are also available. * Horseriding is one of the more exhilarating ways to explore the countryside, from the luxuriant pine woods to almond groves and soft sands. There are dozens of good stables stocked with Anglo-Arab Lusitano horses. * For tennis fans there are tennis courts located throughout the Algarve, with several specialized centers such as the David Lloyd Tennis Center near the hotel. * Enjoy a boat trip along the coast, with a barbecue lunch on a secluded beach. * Visit a local market to choose from traditionally made handicrafts such as grass-matting baskets and rugs, beautiful handpainted pottery and tiles, beaten copperware and intricate lace. * Visit Faro with its lovely cafes, smart shops, cobblestoned streets and grand houses with wrought-iron balconies. In the Cidade Velha (Old Town) you can browse around the 13th century cathedral and bishop's palace. * Take a day trip to Cabo de Sao Vincente - the southwesternmost point of Europe - with its famous lighthouse and dramatice views of sea and cliffs. Nelson defeated the French off this cape in 1797. * The old Moorish capital of Silves is well worth visiting for its sandstone castle and battlements standing proudly against a backdrop of rugged hills. * Monchique - a quaint, Roman spa town with picturesque 17th century architecture, set high in the hills. The summit of Monchique offers superb views towards the coast.
