Pestana Palm Gardens - Carvoeiro

Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal.

Bra hotell med ett härligt poolområde. Närheten till både restauranger och strand var mycket positivt. Välutrustat kök med plus för stort kylskåp och diskmaskin. Personalen var mycket trevlig och tillmötesgående.

It was a short break with my daughter and her friend . The resort was very different from what we expected . Do not go expecting a spa as though it says a therapist is on site she isn't but has to be called in . The pool is not heated after April and was so cold very few ventured in . The reception is sated as being 24 hr but is actually 8 am / 11 pm . As it also says food is available from 8/. 10:30 pm actually after breakfast 8/10 there is no food or drinks till 12 ... I paid for breakfast buffet for each day we were there and because our flight was early we could not have it that day .. also I would like to see other people's comments on this buffet as I have never seen anything like this .. the accommodation was good and well equipped except I paid for 2 bathrooms and none wanted to use the shower room as it was so old and had really bad stains and n the shore . I would recommend the site as a whole as the staff are really friendly apart from a few of the restaurant personnel . The area is perfect . Within walking distance to the beach and a short taxi ride into town . I would visit the area again but not this resort

We LOVED our stay at Pestana! The codo was big, spacious, 2 bedrooms - 2 bathrooms - kitchen & dining room/living room & a loft with another couch with pull out bed & 2 chairs (a lovely seating area). The yard with dining table and sun chairs had a partial ocean view as did the massive roof terrace. We were just one couple but it was big enough for 2 couples with kids or a family. The staff were very friendly & professional and the condo was spotless. Beds were super comfortable - so much so that we slept in most days! The kitchen has everything you would need; however, take along dish/dishwasher soap & clothes cleaning soap. You can also walk 20 mins to the little store in town to buy same. The Manager left us a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. What a thoughtful touch. It's not a resort where there is non-stop action but a peaceful/restful location. We would wholeheartedly recommend Pestana and we won't hesitate to rebook.

All first class, just one issue, booked inclusive of Breakfast. Hotel insistent that this was a mistake and charged an additional €18 !! Not good.
