Pestana Viking Resort

"We had such a great time at the Pestana Viking. The rooms were clean when we arrived, comfortable and cleaned daily. We think the bathroom could have benefited from some extra storage space though. The hotel staff were polite, friendly and helpful. We asked for advice from them multiple times and they were always able to help. We enjoyed the food. A good selection of dishes in the evening buffet that changed each evening. The freshly prepared breakfast omelettes were also really nice. There are also a number of local restaurant options around, although to get to some there’s a walk up a gentle hill. There’s a large supermarket also within walking distance (10-15 min walk) up the hill. We loved the location too. Though the town is small, the beachside location is great. It’s just a short walk down the hill and cliff to some really beautiful beaches. There are a choice of at least three within walking distance. There are sun loungers and a really nice beach café on the closest beach. If you want to get out and about the hotel offers lots of tours with local companies. We took the day trip to Lagos and Cape St Vincent which we really enjoyed. It’s also possible to book boat trips exploring the coves up and down the coast. The hotel leisure facilities were really good. There are plenty of sun loungers by the outdoor pool. There’s an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. There are also spa and gym facilities. We enjoyed making use of th outdoor bar for drinks and snacks during the day. The atmosphere in the indoor bar during the evening was a bit dead (but that might be because we were visiting in October)."

"We had a really good experience at this hotel; lovely pool and nice food. Child friendly complete with popcorn and sweets!"

"Food was great. The outdoor pool and surprisingly the indoor pool as well were a little too cold. The rooms had have enough space and were clean. A little old furniture but that works."
