Should you go back?

Contributed -

Is it a good idea to return to the venue of a successful winter bowling holiday the following year? Well we did and it was.

This February over forty members of Cockfosters Bowling Club and their friends returned to the Hotel Garbe in the Algarve and the unanimous verdict was that it was even better than last time.

The hotel has a perfect location, right on the beautiful beach, but within the busy resort of Armacao de Pera. We were made to feel so welcome, the facilities were first class and the food was excellent.

During the week we enjoyed a couple of games of bowls, with lunch at Club Santo Antonio in Alvor and, to ensure we didn't miss out on what Portugal has to offer, its visitors we left time for some coach trips to local places of interest. The time just flew past and, all too soon, we were back at Faro Airport for the return flight.

Will we go back nest year? Well we will have to wait and see but it would be difficult to find a better base for a prefect out of season group holiday.

For information on the Hotel Garbe call Vicki Good on 00351 282 320360 and take the first step in arranging a first class Winter Break for your group.
