Vale d'Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"The entrance is very nice, but the pool is a bit small. And some of the rooms are a little outdated."

Pestana Gramacho Residences ★★★★

"I had a very disappointing experience at Pestana Gramacho Residences. For three consecutive nights there was no running water in my room — no shower, no sink, and not even the toilet flush. On two occasions, I was forced to use the swimming pool late at night just to wash myself, which is absolutely unacceptable for a hotel of this category. In addition, my room went three days without any cleaning service. Only after I went to the reception personally did they remove the garbage and provide fresh towels. I also tried several times to contact the hotel by written messages, but never received a reply. The lack of communication, combined with such basic service failures, made the stay extremely unpleasant. This experience was far below the standards expected from the Pestana brand. I cannot recommend this property until serious improvements are made."

Pestana Valley ★★★★

"A fantastic holiday home with great comfort and a beautiful pool. The park is green and spacious furnished."

Colina da Lapa & Villas ★★★

"Just came back after a 4 day stay at this place, I had booked breakfast included. Well, I wish I never bothered. Breakfast: Stale bread, 4 slice of watermelon that isn't covered, Dry pastrys and hard cheese and smelly ham. And the most miserable rude owner I've ever come across my first day i asked, "Do you make eggs he replied in the most loud voice "No" I said anything else "this is all you get" I complained to reception and was told that's not part of hotel but yet again your selling breakfast as part of the package. Villa is okay needs serious updating the beds are horrible and uncomfortable the bathroom tub was dirty look like oil marks and mouldy, showercurtain is 🤢the housekeeping never came once to empty bins so we had to throw it ourselves. Area around is beautiful, but that's about it. I would come back here in a hurry only because the food and cleanliness of this place. The only polite person I came across was carolina at reception that's it. They take card at reception for any tours has to be cash. Atleast tea and coffer and water should be provided. I wouldn't recommend this place "

Quinta Tapada Do Gramacho ★★★

"I have travelled since I was a kid all over the world, but I believe this is the best accommodation I’ve ever stayed at all things considered. Me and my wife have stayed there two years in a row now. I would recommend it to everyone except for noise groups of people since it is a very soothing and relaxing place."

Pestana Carvoeiro Golfe - Al ★★★★

"Significant Disappointment at Pestana Golf Resort Carvoeiro (Booking reference: 743278) We booked our trip over a year in advance through Golf Breaks as a group of 12 women, with clear and specific requirements: two villas located next to each other, each sleeping six guests, and twin room configurations. Unfortunately, Pestana Golf Resort Carvoeiro failed to meet these expectations on multiple levels. Instead of the requested arrangement, our group was placed on opposite sides of the golf course, and the villas did not include the twin rooms we had booked. Several members of our party had to share double beds, not everyone was comfortable with this option and the only alternative offered was a cot bed, which was wholly inappropriate given the cost of the trip and the notice provided at the time of booking. The accommodation itself was also below standard. Villa 199 (a V3 villa) was very run down, with miscellaneous items shoved into cupboards, giving the impression of poor maintenance and disorganisation. Although the villa accommodates six people, it was supplied with only four sunbeds. We were assured additional sunbeds would be delivered, but they never arrived. The second half of our group was “upgraded” to a V4 villa, reportedly due to the resort being fully booked — raising concerns about overbooking, particularly given our early reservation. While the V4 villa was an improvement, it still presented issues, including ants inside one of the sofas and a smashed patio door. The significant distance between the two villas left our group feeling disconnected, which detracted from the overall experience. Our golf day at Pinta de Vale was similarly problematic. Our tee time was delayed due to the resort’s error in arranging transfers to the course, and by the time we finished, the scheduled transfers had already ceased at 4pm. The initial suggestion from staff was that we should order an Uber for 12 people with 10 sets of golf clubs, which was entirely impractical. Only after waiting for over an hour and requesting to speak with a manager was a transfer finally arranged. It is important to acknowledge the positive aspects of our stay. Gramacho Golf Course was excellent, the clubhouse food was of a high standard, and the bar staff were friendly, engaging, and contributed positively to the atmosphere. These elements were appreciated, but they were not enough to offset the broader issues we encountered. Overall, the experience fell far short of expectations due to poor organisation, inadequate accommodation standards, and a lack of effective customer service. Despite a few highlights, I cannot recommend Pestana Golf Resort Carvoeiro based on this stay."
