First online hotel booking service experience

Wrote on January 9th, 2010 under Vacations

Now that 2009 is gone, I can write a review about my first online hotel booking service experience.

Until last December 12, I had never used such services. So I chose to do a search for online booking agencies, which gathered the following conditions: Had several customers reviews, seemed to be reliable and the best relation between cost/quality.

After this I chose Hotelopia, an online booking agency who aims to help you find and reserve the right hotel at the right price, from a wide range of good quality accommodation.

Thanks to Hotelopia I’ve spent my New Years Eve in Albufeira, in a nice and cheap resort without the common problems of trying to find an apartment for rent in this time of year for a short time period.

Certainly the next time that I will need this type of services I’ll use Hotelopia again.

Back at home

That’s right I’m back at home.

Last Monday was my last day at Algarve, unfortunately my vacations are almost ending. The few days that are left will be spent in my hometown.

Like I’ve planned I went to Albufeira and Alvor, unfortunately I didn’t had time to visit Lagos which is a really nice place to visit, with great beaches, night activities and restaurants.

Although I didn’t planned I’ve also visited Portimão and Armação de Pêra which are also great places.

In these trips I’ve visited two touristic attractions that are worth to talk about.

Finally some time off!

That’s right, today I start my vacations. After a year with lots of work and pressures, these vacations are well deserved.

This year I will be somewhere around Algarve or Allgarve if you prefer, probably in one of these three places, Albufeira, Alvor or Lagos these are my favorite places to spend vacations in Portugal.

They are near the beach and they also have great night activities.

Hope to get some rest because there is almost a new year starting with lots of new as ideas, projects and challenges.

I’ll be back in a couple of days, see you soon!
