The service back then was second to non, and happily that hasn't changed either... I was actually staying further along in Albufeira but visited Olho's D'Agua for the day and you can't not visit Gloria's Sleepy Donkey when in Olho's. Myself and my cousin had the mixed tapas for lunch washed down with their excellent lemonade (and it still tastes just as good as I remember, so I won't be waiting another 4 years for next one, lol)... The quality of the food has stayed the same, which is very high quality, much as I would have expected based on my hospitality experience as a Chef. The prices are very reasonable, the portion sizes are very good value for money and the quality is always good. I highly recommend visiting the Sleepy Donkey if you are in the Albufeira/Villamoura areas, (a Taxi from Albufeira to Olhos D'Agua is €12 December 2022). Keep up the good job you are doing Gloria!
