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 And some of the rooms are a little outdated."

"Stayed in a 4 bed villa.beautiful well maintained home with big spacious rooms and a well manicured garden and very clean pool.pictures do not even do it justice.Villa provides transport to two local beaches but place far from other facilities.but an Aldi nearby to restock will set you off 4euros one way. Can get Uber to local towns as well as a reasonable cost. On the downside,found the reception staff rude and very unfriendly. The transport staff was amazingly courteous and friendly.Also,one of the upstairs bathrooms had a very unpleasant smell and we'd to keep the door to the balcony open. Above all,it was an amazing holiday for my family and I."

"We had a wonderful stay here in the interim period between Christmas and new year. Quick and easy checkin. Very pleasant staff. Room was clean and fresh. A little bit basic but absolutely fine. My only very slight gripe was that the water was not very hot. Very happy with our stay and am looking to return. Very isolated - which was lovely as really nice and quiet- but you do need a car. We didn’t eat at the hotel as we played golf each day and ate at their clubhouse."

"A beautiful residence the life of our beautiful apartment apartment 2 rooms all equipped toilet lingerie changed every week super well equipped kitchen spacious room shortly super clean apartment (and I am maniac 😉) The swimming pool sports room Hammam Nickel staff who take care of the pool and complex are really super under 40° really a great BRAVO!!!!!"

"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."

"This is a lovely development and is new. It’s spacious with lots of nice planting and a great location for the coast. The bedrooms are small and the only big issue we have it is NOT suitable for children of a school age. There are no play facilities or any space to play ball games. It’s fine for young families and great for older couples/groups. I would not go if I had children in this age group. But for anyone else it great."

"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."
