It worked!

Folding electric cool bag worked brilliantly. Not too heavy in my case and chilled drinks perfectly for the beach. It even came with a selection of 2 & 3 pin adaptors.

Hi All
Just returned from CVO and can highly recommend the following:
Casa Algarvia (next to strip club) - Steak on a stone fantastic
Happys - Staff very entertaining and food excellent
Oasis - I had Chicken curry, wife had ribs, both delicious

Just returned to UK from CVO. We ate twice at Casa Algarvia - the steak on a stone was to die for, the staff very friendly and food reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Hi Baggysallyjane

Yes we live in sunny Weymouth, home of the 2012 Olympic sailing events.

Traffic here is a nightmare now during the summer, heaven knows how we'll cope during the Olympics

Cool bag arrived today (2 days after order- not bad) It is fairly light and compact, I was very happy with it until wifey told me Aldi were selling them for £20 last month!!!! She likes to kick the stool from under me. Oh well, when we're on the beach in 10 days time and she wants a nice cold beer.....

I have ordered one too, so will keep you informed as to it's usefulness

wee Beanz, We are going to the Sol this year just as a taster for CVO. Next year we plan two weeks at an apartment. The kids are going to bring friends with them next year so we'll need a 3-bed apartment or villa in CVO. I too prefer all the mod-cons - beer fridge, tv, sun beds...and, of course the ...

not champagne.......Pimms darling

Thanks everyone
I've found this portable electric cool bag that folds flat to go in a suitcase and runs on 100-240v

That's easy if you buy the drinks cold and have several large flasks. If you buy the drinks and they're not cold what do you do? I've thought about an electric cool box but don't think it'd be classed as hand luggage on the plane.

Hi All
Just 2 weeks to we arrive....
One question- Our Hotel room (Sol) doesn't have a fridge. Any suggestions for keeping drinks cool on the beach?

Steve

Thanks all

Everyone is so pleasant and helpful on this forum

we certainly will have a good holiday and try some of the restaurants you recommend.

Hi All We will be making our first visit to CVO in August, staying at the Carvoeiro Sol. As it is B&B basis we will be eating out every day. Most of the restaurants on here sound fabulous, but with two strapping sons it may prove expensive! :shock: Any idea of rough costs for meal for 4 with drinks ...
