Pestana Palm Gardens

Best things: the location for us was great - direct access to the cliff path for a pleasant walk into Carvoeiro (approx 20 min stroll) in the evenings, really pretty grounds with plenty of outside space in the superior villas (not so much for the standard ones), a lovely clean pool area which was (just about) warm enough for a dip in April, spacious accommodation and comfy beds. The not so good: pre arrival cleaning could have been better, the neighbours air con unit was on the balcony right next to our bedroom and was often quite noisy at night, and we had to pay for a locksmith to let us back in one night as the key arrangements make it very easy for you to accidentally lock the key on the wrong side of the door (our fault, but a very easy and costly mistake to make - we’re not the first ones to have experienced this here so seems like it is something the hotel should address - thumb locks on the doors would be an easy upgrade)

Lovely apartments in a quiet area. A short walk in Carveiro where there is a load of top class restaurants and bars. Will visit again for sure.

The unit was well situated and clean. The blankets were not enough but extra blankets were provided on request. The couch bed is not adequate for adults. We were 6 adults. 2 of the twin beds need new matrasses. Overall a good experience with very friendly and accommodating staff. Wonderful area to have a holiday in.

The accomodation was spacious and comfortable with a great view from the roof terrace, but the furniture was a bit dated. Staff was very freindly. Biggest downside was that the complex seemed cramped, squeezed in between to others with a very limited public area, small pool and only one restaurant.

Great area to visit lots of local walks with great views . Hotel clean staff friendly would recommend again
