Aldeia das Acoteias Holidays from £605

My husband and i absolutely loved our stay at Pestana Viking. Everyone in the resort was so nice, helpful and kind. Absolutely breathtaking views! Redonda Cove right behind the resort and other beaches walking distance. Cannot recommend this enough. Thank you guys so much! Can't wait to be back!

Hotel and rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.We went all inclusive and the food was good with plenty of choice. The staff were very friendly especially Andreia and Miguel. We would definately stay there again in the future if holidaying in Albufeira

There was a lack of seating with shade around the pools.

We stayed at Palmares Signature apartments a week with our 2 boys. The property is beautiful, modern, unique concept, great furniture, partial sea views from the terrace, fully stocked kitchen ( cuttlery, glasses, cups, pots and pans although we have not eaten in the apartment). The two rooms are connected thru a short outdoor hallway which offers privacy between the master/living room and the second room. The restaurant views are stunning. Cleaning staff were wonderful, always on time and did a great job. You need a car as Lagos is 12 min away. Unfortunately some things didn’t go smoothly hence the rating. The A/C in the main living area hasn’t worked. The room temp hovered around 25 until it fully died, leaking on the floor. Staff have offered to move us to a new room ( lower floor though) that had the same broken A/C. As the A/C was still working in the bedrooms we decided to not move.They brought a noisy portable A/C for living room with towels spread on the floor to contain the leak. The water was lukewarm until the last day when it was raised to a comfortable temperature. The breakfast was good quality, decent assortment but every day the same. After 7 days it got repetitive. The beds were not as comfortable as we were expecting from a resort of such caliber. There is construction at the property although they try to contain it. The windows are great at protecting the units from the construction noise. All in all was not the experience we were hoping for.

It was ok. Bedroom was good, comfortable bed and good bathroom. The living room part of the suite was pretty bad, very uncomfortable furniture. The food was mostly poor, even for buffet food. Breakfast was an exception and was pretty good. As we stayed for more than 4 nights we got a free booking at one of the "restaurants". The food came out the same quality as the buffet (poor). The tiramisu dessert was dire, like 2 bits of bland rubber. Eat out where possible. One pool was closed for half of the 6 night stay and the other was only half full for 2-3 days but when they were fully functional they were good. Staff were mostly indifferent to you with some exceptions of them actually caring you were there. Cleaning service was good and front desc staff were friendly. The beaches close by are nice and only a short walk away. I was disappointed with the quality compared to the price. It feels like the price is high due to the room being a suite (quite needlessly as the suite aspect was very poor). For a similar price I would recommend VidaMar just 15-20 mins up the road (stayed there for a work trip before this stay). Better food, better room, nicer grounds, better beach access, and better quality of life improvements over NAU and all for a marginal increase in price (at the time of review). If this was a few hundred pounds cheaper it might be a worth while stay but for the price it is I don't think I will be visiting again.

Great 3 star hotel well located. Kids enjoyed the ping pong table.
