Cheerfulway Balaia Plaza in Albufeira

Sun, sea and somewhere to lay your head, what else does a legendary stag weekend need? How about a location near the beach, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and satellite TV in all the rooms? This 4-star hotel has everything you and the boys could ever need on the condemned man's final weekend as a single man.

In the rooms, besides the great addition of satellite TV, you'll find air-con to keep you cool and a large balcony perfect for chilling out while you wait for the groom to get ready. The balconies also have fantastic panoramic views over the surrounding area and the Atlantic Ocean, so at least when the groom's ready you'll have something nice to look at. There's also free WiFi throughout the hotel so there's no excuse to upload every single picture you take to make everyone back home jealous!

Venturing downstairs there are not one but two swimming pools, indoor and outdoor, as well as a poolside bar serving drinks and snacks. If you fancy drinking while you're a bit dryer there's also a bar inside if you need to get out of the sun to stay hydrated. And for when you get hungry come morning or evening the hotel puts on a feast fit for a stag. You can enjoy a continental breakfast buffet from the restaurant as well as a dinner buffet that includes Portuguese and international food, the best of both worlds!

When you decide to explore outside the hotel you and the rest of the stags won't be disappointed. As well as the restaurant there's also a mini market where you can buy basic groceries and the nearest beach is just half a mile from the hotel so you're never too far away from the sand and the rolling waves. If the need to tee off becomes unbearable then you and the gents are just half a mile from the nearest golf course.
