It was a perfectly organized holiday!
It was a perfectly organized holiday. The hotel Pestana Alvor Praia, the rooms there, the breakfast, and the bar were excellent. For dinner, we didn't use the hotel restaurant but ate ate at various restaurants in Alvor. All the courses we booked with the Pestana group were in excellent condition.
The move to the Palmares Beach Hotel brought a small surprise. They had sacrificed the small bar area with sofas and club chairs for new dining tables to create more space in the restaurant. This wasn't ideal and detracted from the otherwise good impression.
All three courses were in good condition (Palmares, Boavista and Espiche). We also visited several restaurants in Lagos while at Palmares.
All in all, it was a perfectly organized trip.
Everything was first class!
Thank you for organising a great trip. Everything was first class from the start to the finish from the drivers, the Pestana Dom João II Hotel and the golf courses (Silves and Alto).
So a big thank you to you and your team and we will definitely be in contact regarding next year’s trip.
Everything perfect!
Thanks again for your help and support fir our fantastic 4 day in Algarve at Pestana Vila Sol. Everything perfect, a part of the weather , that in any case we always played without rain!
We will back in Algarve as soon as possible!
We had a great time!
Thanks for the perfect organization of our stay!
We had a great time, the weather was fine, the Pestana Vila Sol was comfortable and the golf courses in very good shape - Alto, Vila Sol, Gramacho, Silves and Pinta goolf courses.
2 comments I would like to make:
1. It would be helpful to indicate the distance from the hotel to the golf places. We did not pay attention to this aspect and found the driving distance quite long.
2. The wellness area of the hotel is more than poor, the sauna beyond acceptance. That was a great deception as we like to relax in a cosy wellness place.
But apart from these two aspects the package is surely recommendable and I do believe that we will be back in this region in the future.
We had a great time and loved Portugal!
Pestana Dom João II was great, perfect location in Alvor for us to explore the town, hotel staff were great to deal with and the amenities were good as well.
Hilton Vilamoura was also a nice hotel, front staff were not the most pleasant but oh well, we didn't explore to much in the hotel. They did a very nice gesture for me on my birthday, delivered sparkling wine and a cake so that was very touching.
Golf courses were amazing (Vila Sol, Gramacho, Silves, Pinta and Alto golf courses), and we had a few favorites!
We definitely loved the small town feeling of Alvor. The beaches were clean, the ocean and views were beautiful and everyone was friendly and inviting. This was more our vibe vs Vilamoura but we enjoyed Vilamoura. We ventured to the Vilamoura Marina on our last day, very interesting down there and fun.
Overall, it was a great golf vacation! The food and pastries so yummy , the small cafes and bars were great!
Thank-you again for assisting us with our Portugal vacation, one we will not forget!
Great experience we had!
We have just returned from our trip to the Pestana Vila Sol Golf Resort and would like to express herewith our sincere thanks for the great experience we had.
We had a fantastic time and enjoyed the hotel as well as all the golf courses (Vila Sol, Silves, Gramacho, Pinta and Alto). Everything was very well prepared and organized from your side.
Have a good start into the winter season!
Wishing you all the best.
