Resort Complexes

Luz has one huge complex which is the Ocean Club. It spreads throughout the town. It is divided up into various 'villages' which take bookings and function as individual businesses whilst sharing the facilities of all parts. This seems to work well and the layout is not as intrusive as you would think.

Inns (Estalegum) and Guest Houses (Vivenda)

Inns (Estalegum), Pensions and Guest Houses (Vivenda) are quite plentiful in the Algarve but are not the easiest to locate. They are by far the cheapest form of accommodation especially for the shorter stays. Not to be confused with 'Aparthotels' which are usually a group of apartments with hotel  type facilities.

Campsites and Caravan Parks

Don't dismiss this as a form of holiday 'accommodation'. Camping in the Algarve is nothing like camping back in the U.K, its something to do with the weather I think. Plenty of places  to be found in the Algarve, all with first class facilities. Most have tents, caravans and even bungalows to rent.
