The new marina area is quite nice. They do boat tours out to the caves, which were unfortunately cancelled the day we went to go due to the wind. Your kids will probably enjoy the experience of getting the lift up from fishermans beach, nice views over the harbour when you get to the top too. Depending on how old your kids are, they will be able to either eat free or very cheaply at one of the many all you can eat restaurants.
There is also a nice walk along the beach (heading east) which takes over some very small cliffs with nice lookouts, there is a theme park at the end of it and a main drag with all the bars, restaurants and nightclubs you could hope for (a bit too seedy and blokish if you take the kids though)

Restaurant called Sexy Meat is absolutely unreal
Actually I do remember a few days out now, vilamoura marina, qateira on market day and a couple of other towns but can’t recall their names now, also booked a jeep safari which was great and a Portuguese night up in the mountains which was also fantastic with an endless supply of piri piri chicken, sardines and jugs of sangria….. enjoy yourself mate

Spent some time in New York City last week. Got to see The Dakota (Yoko apparently still lives here?) and a memorial for John Lennon in Central Park. Impressive building.

Visited not so long ago and a guy I work from the region sent this:
Here are a few good places to start:
Tasca do Petrol/ Monchique:it's in the middle of nowhere and you have to reserve but it's one of best spots for traditional Algarve dishes (mainly meat);
Restaurante O Teodósio/Guia: original "frango da guia" - chicken barbeque
Inevitável Wine Bar/Armação de pêra: for wine and tapas
Sapori da Giovanni/Armação de pêra: pizza
Riviera Cake Shop
Pastelaria Riviera/Albufeira: they have pretty good pastries
Faina/Portimão: mainly for the view
Finally Sol Dourado/costa vicentina: probably the best seafood place.

Love nyc. I sought out the memorial in my 1st visit in 2008. I expected more than a little disk on the floor for some reason!
Sure I done a trip to monchique, up a mountain and it was freezing

Stay away from the main strip (unless you enjoy a sunny version of Blackpool).
The Old Town is pleasant enough, Olhus d'agua on the outskirts is a bit nicer. The beach there is decent too.
Apparently some of his ashes are scattered in the trees next to it
