Herdade Lago Real

Was here with family in Jun 2024. Good,well maintained and super-clean resort with lots to do in it. - gym, boating, tennis, table -tennis, basketball, cycling, swimming, ... The main pool is beautifully designed and quite large. There is also a lazy pool near the rooms. Rooms are large and come with a mini fridge and hair dryer. No microwave. No iron. Microwave is in the common area on the floor below the front office. The resort serves an excellent buffet breakfast which is replenished regularly by the kind lady server. Front office is very kind, efficient and helpful. Check-in was a breeze. There is a bar near the pool that offers a choice of cocktails and alcohol. There is also a mini zoo in the resort which houses a peacock and peahens, fouls, geese, ducks, goats, ponies and other colorful birds. The beach is a 5 min drive away. Worth visiting Praia de Mira the beach. The town of Mira does not have too much to offer otherwise. People at Mira did not come across as friendly or helpful as compared to other parts of Portugal. Restaurants in the beach area and the other parts of town are pretty pricey. Very few good low cost dining options. The resort offers grand buffet dinner, but you need to pre-book. I would sure recommend the resort but not the town of Mira.
