I hope I made the right choice.
This is our first trip to Portugal, July 2009. The plan is to spend a week on the mainland and then a week at Pestana Madeira Beach Club, Madeira
Booked Village Cascais Suites Hotel 1-BR (outside of Lisbon on the rail line) a while ago via RCI Weeks for the mainland, and the Madeira week 1-BR also in RCI Weeks.
Now at the 10-month date Four Seasons Vilamoura (studio) became available in RCI Points for the same July mainland week and I've booked that, meaning I'm out my exchange fee for Village Cascais and maybe the Wyndham points I used for its RCI Week deposit (I think they come back in some restricted way).
So we'll be renting a car for the mainland week, driving Lisbon to Vilamoura and return, then the weekend at a hotel in Lisbon (to be determined), then to Madeira.
What do you think about Cascais vs. Vilamoura?
Any good Lisbon hotels for a July weekend?
Thanks as always
