“Will definitely go back!!”
Friendly staff, good facilities, clean pool and a kids club. My four year old thought that this was the best holiday ever and the standards have been set very high for our next holiday!!!!
“Hussain Family”
Easter holiday 2011. I went on this holiday with wife and daughter of (nearly) 5 years old. We loved the hotel, the staff and the indoor and out door pools, there was also a large puddling area. the outdoor pool area was large with plenty of sun loungers with essential toilets attached. free towels were provided. Hotel Restaurant provided very good breakfast (watchout for high quantity of sugar in everything, inlcuding fresh fruits). Meal price in the hotel was out of this world. bar food like a burger, chips and a drink of pepsi would set you back 15euros. Hotel Meals are note great as we paid 24euros each for buffet and was dissapointed with the food. Best thing to do is to get a taxi rider (5euros to near by town or a 20 minutes walk only recommended if in groups, i took the cab as i had child and had seen few dogs on street) where you will get down2earth price. This hotel was on a cliff and below was a secluded beach between two cliffs which was mainly used my guests from neighbouring hotels but again did not feel cramped as there was plenty of space for all. theres also a restaurent at the beach and again price is rocket high for meals, drinks are okish. From the Hotel 5-10 mins walk is a supermarket, where you will find pretty much everything you need, best to go shopping and stock up fridge which is in every room and theres also a microwave with a little kitchenette area. Highly recommend this hotel.
“relaxing oasis”
The hotel is in a truly beuatuful location - on cliffs over the ocean. The walk down to the beach is only a liesurely five minute trek. The outdoor pool and grounds are terrific and the indoor pool is a nice extra. The hotel desk staff is very helpful and all speak fine English. The room is quiet and comfortable. Be sure to request a sea view. The little restaurant on the beach is quite good (and inexpensive) for lunch or dinner. If you have a car a trip to the Armacao beach walk is worth the ten minute ride - some good restraurants. A drive to Albufeira is also doable but you will have to negotiate some VERY NARROW streets once in town. For purchasing supermarket items the Intermarche is at the top of the hill (a three minute car ride).
“Amazing Hotel!”
The Pestana Viking was everything we expected it to be! This was our first stop on our honeymoon, and we were very impressed. The photos showed exactly what it really looks like. It was in a somewhat built up area, but was very quiet and felt secluded. The room was perfect, and the staff were always very happy to help! We would definitely stay there again.
“Will certainly be going back, totally relaxing!”
The hotel was spot on, of the beat and track a bit but we knew that. There was 4 or 5 resaurants within 5 minutes walk and a free shuttle bus to town which took 5 minutes and if you wanted to stay in town a bit later it was only 5 or 6 euro's to taxi back. beach on the doorstep and beautiful. Just totally tranquil. if i had to make a criticism it would be that there was no mention on the hotel's website that the hotel supply a beach towel free of charge which can be changed for a fresh one every day if required. We were travelling light with no hold luggage and wanted to know if we needed a towel and as there was no mention so we took two big beach towels which we did'nt need, this might have been an oversight on my part but worth updating site if required. Oh, and my pillow was like hard wood! very uncomfortable. These are not faults really as the hotel and staff were great.
“Modern, clean hotel”
Very modern, clean hotel. We had a sea view room on the 5th floor - very quiet. We did not try any of the spa/wellness services. The Belmundo restaurant is just a few minutes walk away for some wonderful Italian food.
“A perfect get away location”
The Pestana Viking is a perfect place to get away from the crowds and enjoy first class service. The views are magnificent if you go for the higher floors. It is a little way from the nearest town but a courtesy bus is provided during the day. Otherwise a hire car is advisable.
“Hotel Pestana Viking Resort - Armacao de Pera”
Questo albergo è arroccato su un costone bellissimo, nel punto più turistico dell'Algarve. Il mare è splendido, le grotte sono molto belle.......ma ancora più bello ed emozionante è stata la gita organizzata per andare a vedere i DELFINI. La consiglio a tutti! Altra attrattiva.....andare a vedere il festival delle sculture di sabbia che fanno ogni anno cambiando il tema delle sculture.
“Pestana Viking”
Verblijf in het hotel was in het laag-laag seizoen (januari) dus hotel was vrijwel leeg. Was op zich geen bezwaar aangezien de opzet van het verblijf was alleen overnachten en ontbijt. Geen gebruik gemaakt van de overige faciliteiten dus ook geen beoordeling. Hotel is makkelijk bereikbaar. Waren hoofdzakelijk in de Algarve om te golfen en daar voldeed dit hotel prima voor. Pestana heeft een aantal golfbanen in de buurt waarbij dus makkelijk geboekt kon worden via het hotel. De geboekte kamer was met zicht op de tuin wat in werkelijk de parkeerplaats was. Nette kamers met een kleine kitchenette en goede badkamer. Bedden en kussens waren kwalitatief een stuk minder wat eerder bij een 3* of lager hotel hoort. Weinig goede restaurants in de buurt en niet alles was open. Dit had te maken met het seizoen. Een aantal bars in de buurt maar meer gericht op de lokale bevolking en de enclave Duitsers en Engelsen die in die buurt een tweede huis bezitten.
