I have spent many holidays with Pestana, both in Armacao de Pera and Alvor, covering almost every month of the year. And I have never had a bad holiday with them. The staff are friendly and courteous at all times. The guest relations young lady, Barbara Muller is extremely helpful and has a wonderful smile for all the guests. There is a really lovely young lady, Lili Fritas, who takes care of entertainment and who can also entertains the children for a few hours during the day. The restaurant and bar staff are friendly and hard working and always have ... a friendly word and a smile. What else can I say the place is a marvel)) !!!!! read more

    The breakfast buffet is in my opinion very good and adequate. In the evening you could still a bit versatile are. There is always pasta, rice, a fish dish and two meat dishes. Furthermore a soup salads and a dessert area. The dishes were very few seasonigs. Here one could still a bit improve. The waiters is the somewhat slow, it takes time to you the beverages order can. A negative point is, that in the evening not enough spaces available were. The led to queues in front of the dining room and annoyed guests.

    The staff are very friendly and helpful, nevertheless there were some things the us didn't bother. For example we have a room with sea view booked, which in the higher floor beach chairs should. We got a room on the ground floor right next to the air-conditioning devices. The volume was accordingly high. The view of the sea was only through the trees erssichtlich. This I found very rude. We complained immediately, however we were told, that the hotel is full and we no other room could get. We should on the next day call again. We made use of that. On the next day they said it is not at: hours us we should then come back. By accident the room was then finished early and we could lunch a new room relate. This was then also on the 7th floor with beautiful laterally view of the sea. Nevertheless you could already may have. We also heard, we are not the some defendendo which experienced. Otherwise in the service good, cleaning the room ok. The knowledge of German at the front desk are adequate and the communication worked pristine.

    The location of the hotel I would rather quiet describe. In the area there are smaller restaurants. The sandy beaches are in 5 to 10 minutes over stairs to reach. There is several possibilities. For a the beach praia de senhora de rocha, which on the hotel staff is recommended. This is between two rocks. A snack with selbstebdienung and a fish restaurant are also at the beach to be met. For swimming you can buy a liege buy, the prices are however in my opinion too high. You can also a small sun screen in the nearby located supermarket buy and with this and towels in the sand. The sandy beach is very nice, however falls the beach very quickly, so you no longer stands can. Is however actually not a problem. To our time of vacation it was always very windy at the beach, the waves are accordingly high, so very little people in the water were. For snorkeling is the beach also not suitable, the only sand to see. Nevertheless because of the beautiful landscape recommendable. To the other you can also a nearby beach on the other side of the hotel go. You could reach them, if you the main road a little and then turn right the stairs down runs. This beach is a bit bigger, the landscape also very nice. A visit is also recommendable. Next to the beach the hotel lies about kilometers away from armaco de pera, a shuttle bus there is free of charge from the hotel offered. This drives 10:15,! 4:00, and 5:00 P. M.. The city is however not so nice.

    Unfortunately we do not have the room type to get, the we booked. We have extra the category double room with a view of the sea against an extra charge booked. This room should be bigger (28 meters²). This category there are however in this hotel according to the front desk not at all! Only the suites have direct view of the sea. From the balcony our room we have inland against a palm looked. After complaining we were a room with even worse view shown. After a further complaint the hotel has for us a move organized. The' new' room should much better and our reservation are, it was but unfortunately not before shown. We are then exactly a floor higher and a room further landed ( hotel: U-shape), therefore still lateral view of the sea is. We were always yet unsatisfied, but we had no desire to another move, which us afterwards galls. During our stay we have again and again exactly this conversation from other guests received, the also view of the sea and did not get. The lady at the reception always very surprised, what the guests as wrong in their travel agency would have booked and the guests asked, in the travel agency to call. The mistake would lie. In short: in this hotel there are only double rooms with 1/4,1/2 and three-quarters view of the sea to book and not the direct view of the sea, what therefore misleading in the catalog of the various tour operator presented and considerable displeasure during the guests on the ground! And this lateral view of the sea even on the floors 5,6 and 7, beginning with the rooms 515, 615 and 715, as the palm trees otherwise the view bar. The room, that we then got was of average size, renovated a couple of years, tiled, had a beautiful bathroom and a small kitchen with a fridge. The tv was rather small, only the transmitter ARD, RTL and satellite. 1 could be received. The safe costs 3 Euro per day. The balcony the room offer unfortunately little to no privacy, since we had the whole width of the hotel any person can see, the balcony enters.

    The food was quite okay, you have always found something. Peppered unfortunately as good as not at all, which one in Portugal actually expected. But also for the food we would have for the not cheap price for the journey somewhat more expected, also like for instance the food presented. In the first week you could get only outside food, what early September evenings simply already too cool, as it also easy windy. Quite apart from this, that the beer garden-ambience (olle unsteady tables, biergartenstühle and plastic tarpaulin as attempted wind screen) and the noise from screaming guests from the next door to of the terrace presides indoor pool ( the door was not too close) not even nearly comfortable was. That means for the majority of the guests: fast food and then nothing like going away. In the second week we could then finally inside food, however was the dining room simply too small for the number of guests. Because of this you had to either exactly the time at o'clock in the room or on a lines of people and also times 20 minutes for a table to wait. You can perhaps introduce itself, that all the guests not impressed and the mood in the food area and outside not very positive. The waiters were understandably overburdened and when eating one really felt obligated, 'gas to give', to quickly a table get rid. And the on vacation! We are really not cheap, but the beverage prices were really unbelievably high, which led, that the most couple a large bottle of water share. We would like also times a glass of wine for the food drunk, but everything has its limits! So you then the majority of the guests evenings on the balconies with a beautiful bottle of wine sitting see, the supermarket at best 1/4 of restaurantpreises cost has.

    Even daily water aerobics and water polo was offered. Evenings there was a solo entertainer, then really also entertained, nobody listened to him, what really says everything.

The view from the lawn is beautiful and you will not with music treated to music, what we also as a positive felt. The fitness room with air-conditioning we often used. He has 2 treadmills, 2 cross trainers, 2 bikes and a rowing machine. Free weights and gym mats are also available. Everything is in a very good condition!

    The location of the hotel is of course very nice, so we mainly for this hotel decided. The small bays, the left and right from the hotel beach chairs, are beautiful to look at. Steps respectively ways you can get those and you will with clear water and fine, very clean beaches rewarded. Nearby there are two small supermarkets ( just out of the hotel and right the larger street high) and a bit further away ( circa 10 minutes) a large supermarket = warning: bill to the cash control!. Definitely we can recommend the excursion 'historic algarve' (when we took our jahn reisenleitung booked), in which you all beautiful and interesting places of the surrounding environment starts. A pub or club unfortunately not nearby. Merely a restaurant in the small old church (a spur further) and simple restaurant the road a small piece turn right up from the hotel. We ate there.

With my daughter I made a Wochein this hotel vacation, we got room 522. It was a small fridge available, as well as a safe. Everything was there, plates, cutlery, glasses, mugs, but no stove burners, which I had very much regretted, this Wahnsinnsangebot of Atlantikfisch. Now I know, why the ' most people an apartment booked, the flavors spoke for itself. We only booked with breakfast, that was really recommendable. We got in the restaurant fed, for 25 €per persons, totally overpriced and not the taste. Recommendable. I had for my 14 yrs daughter and me a car and ... I a few times on the head. The place is small, with a few small pub, food great, and cheap. No GR. Supermarkets available and not any shops for shopping which we very much love. You can hour parallel to the sea drive, through the dunes, looks from above the wonderful stone formations and then at the very top Portugal. There is a Bratwurstbude with the inscription 'last bratwurst prior to America', all food! From the hotel is added to say, that it nothing special was clean, my balkonboden was black, the I saw, as I just aufwischte, the bathroom not clean, room small, rock as Kofpkissen. The pools are, also with 40 °C freezing and the Atlantic also. The air conditioning is inadequate, the beach under half of the hotel is small, but a bit further, eternal beaches, deserted. The ruggedness and love solitude, there is in good hands, for us, it is a one time. Some will love it. read more

The hotel is already somewhat outdated, but still ok. The rooms have a good size, but not in every floor seems the air conditioning to work. On hot days was It in the room not to be borne and the air conditioning has only warm air blown. After the complaint at the front desk we got a room in another floor with individual air conditioning system; then it was good. The swimming pool was closed for renovation, but with the distance to the beach didn't mind. I would a rental car recommend, because the hotel off the beaten track. read more

We can the hotel only warmly recommend. The room with megabyte was large and modern. The staff members were very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is in an optimal location, around the Algarve to explore. Restaurants and shopping opportunities in the area rather moderate. The place armacao de Pera is rather ugly, but with nice small old town. Offers but a super long, clean beach. Rental car definitely required. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxed vacation would like to spend, is in this hotel perfect for you. read more

After a disappointment behind us had, in a complex nearby, and then, thank god, move or could change, we I Pestana felt really good. We are very nice and nearly lovingly greeted, and it was the whole time so continued, full satisfaction. We had once, because of a defective air conditioning, at night at 23 o'clock move in a different room, even there we got fast and competent help on the side, so everything worked smoothly drain. The maid service (one is astonished. Rather ' old women') were lovely and very clean and tidy.

Absolute relaxation. This should a vacation entail. We were immediately welcomed friendly, in case of difficulties was immediately and at any time ( even at night ) in case of any problems someone to help and has helped. Friendly staff, where you look, not pushy and very grateful. Cleanliness top. Whether pool, room, hotel in general, everything in good condition and very clean. The breakfast had a good choice and it there was something for every taste. The quality was very good. Pool area directly at the rock faces the Algarve with beautiful views of the Atlantic ocean. Very relaxing ... 100%. This hotel I can quiet conscience recommend to anyone, the a few days the escape would. But also all other, the beautiful days in Portugal want to experience. It is however advisable a car to take, since the nearest town about 3 kilometers away is. But a shuttle bus of the hotel brings free of charge 3 times per day directly after armacao. All together, a wonderful hotel, in the I for certain not for the last time am! read more

The only thing, what we didn't like, was the architectural style of the building. ( Concrete building). You will however by the location above the cliffs, the internal area of the hotel, the cleanliness, as well as the staff's hospitality compensated.

The LTI Pestana Viking boasts extraordinary location, on the cliffs, directly on the Atlantic ocean. We sea side had booked and got a suite on the top floor, great views. In the hotel were about 80% golfers, very lots of regular guests and long-termtourist. The breakfast was OK. For dinner was a menu serves, which we have high in the star area map would be. The use of the fitness room with good devices and the beautiful Indoorswimming pool were the morning ritual. The complete staff is very friendly. The right and left of the hotel are small sandy coves ..., the stairs reachable are. After armacao is 3 kilometer. There begins the great long sandy beach. A hotel bus- Chuttle drove three times daily in the town center. Along the cliffs offer beautiful Wanderrungen at. With a rental car is best explored the beautiful Algarve. The weather, at this time of the year, just dreamlike. We would gladly come again. read more

However at the beach promenade several pub what local dishes and fish offer!

For me, the perfect hotel in the autumn or spring chill out! If you have a lot of action and disco fever in the night needs, this is the wrong place at the wrong time, but if you're looking for peace and quiet and wonderful beaches and bays to yourself to experience, this is the one spot on. You can offer very good sport possibilities, relaxed fit to get through the winter. The weather in the Algarve at this time is still wonderfully warm, when the sun shines and it has mostly (rain clouds are being driven from the Atlantic ... wind mostly just as quickly, as you'have arrived). The hotel lies about three-kilometer outside of armacao de Pera, in a wonderful steep coast. You have a choice, the steep coast either direction West hiking and almost endlessly long anytime again new bays to be explored or one goes to direction armacao, where the steep coast from a long sandy beach is replaced. If the weather does not fit, the hotel offers excellent sports facilities with a large fitness room and a heated indoor pool, the necessary length, in order to really be able to swim (around this seasons always find it enough room, Except carnival, the hotel and pool filled by Spanish and Portuguese). Then have a sauna, and a steam room ready (the latter the more often striked, here would be ' appropriate time an investment). Internet (wireless) is also offered, since this year, unfortunately for extra charge (questionable ' progress' of Pestana group). As has often been told me, outside of the hotel there are excellent opportunities to play golf (well at fair prices). With the rental car you also has the possibility, many highlights in the area to explore (especially the westernmost point of Europe with the spectacular West Coast or fantastic walks in the mountains, for example, at the time of the mimosas bloom, a sea of yellow). The whole hotel has a friendly seventies retro-charm with much light-green, turquoise and orange (but not from this time, the hotel was completely renovated a few years ago). The rooms are nice equipped, in good condition and those on the sea side have a great view (depending, at which time of the day in the sun on the balcony to enjoy wants, in accordance to the Himmelrichtung! Otherwise were also sufficient couches in the huge garden on the cliff). The decor is very pleasant with a small kitchen (fridge, sink, and dishes as well as Cook possibility/microwave). A larger supermarket only about ten minutes walk away, you can also a small something cook your own. Breakfast is based on a wide buffet offered (for example always 2-3 sorts of fresh fruit. Oranges, grapefruit, etc. prepared meals), hot rather English breakfast is served. What a webig lavish but unüberwinderliches problem seems: hard and soft boiled eggs in separate containers to offer, so that was always a gambling. The nice waiter but on request at any time ready, an egg in their ability to communicate to serve, the expense could be simply avoid). A visual treat is the huge picture windows toward garden and the sea in the breakfast room is. Last but not the least is extremely friendly and courteous staff of the hotel to mention, in the usual relaxing Portuguese art never pushy, but always helpful is. In particular at the front desk and with the waiters was possible English conversation, at the front desk often also German, a very friendly German customer service is available. read more
