Lisbon/Albufeira/Cyprus/Tel Aviv/Eilat Suggestions?
Any ideas on this melange of places? In Cyprus I think we will be near Ayia Napa. Need to finish planning this summer. Thanks!

Unfortunately, Ayia Napa is on the far eastern coastline of Cyprus, which is the downmarket side, famed for its clubbing.
The best resort in Cyprus - Anassa - is on the far western coastline, so much too far from Ayia Napa, which is definitely not a place you should stay, unless you are still in your late teens.
The Norman in Tel Aviv is very good.
Lisbon has nothing too good, but then if you are staying in Ayla Napa, you will not mind. I suggest Bairro Alto, which is a charming small hotel in the old quarter that has a lovely rooftop bar, but no clubbing.

How about the Lapa Palace or the Pestana Palace in Lisbon? We've enjoyed our stays there and would recommend both and yes, we would stay again at both of these memorable hotels. Cheers & Safe Travels. ^

In Lisbon is hard to find a real "luxury" hotel. The FS, Lapa and Pestana Palace are somewhere close to "luxury". My personal preference when in Lisbon is the Sofitel in Av. da Liberdade. Solid 5 star and excellent location. Go for a suite.
In Algarve ( near enough to Albufeira ) the Vila Vita is IMO the best hotel in the region.
