One of the best holidays we have had!
To be very frank it was one of the best holidays we have had. Really, really good. Yes, the weather helps but I don’t think it would have taken from the experience we had.
The girls at shop in Gramacho and Pinta were so accommodating. The girl in Gramacho facilitated an earlier tee time in Slivies so we could play with a couple we met and then on Wednesday we were checking in at Pinta only to discover it was Thursday we were booked for the young lady said it was no problem and got us out 10 minutes later!! Brilliant people who put the guests front and center. Likewise the staff at the Pestana Dom João II hotel were first class. My only criticism is the bath/shower.
I cannot let the opportunity pass without also acknowledging all your help in putting the package together for us. I know all the work you had to put in to get it together and this is really appreciated. We will be back.
One of the best golf holidays we have had!
Thank you for your kind letter and all support regarding our recent travel to Portugal!
Without any exaggeration I can confirm that it was one of the best golf holidays we have had so far. We have already travel to Portugal before, but it was the first time for golfing. I can confirm it was not the last!
The Pestana Alvor Beach Villas, although a bit worn out, are very spacious, exceptionally clean and well managed. The location is sensational, so close to the beach and the hotel with all facilities for a pleasant stay. My wife and I like to make our breakfast by ourselves so I cannot comment on the meals in the hotel, but I am convinced they are on the same high level. Needless to say, the staff is incredibly kind and helpful.
As for the golf courses, thank you for the excellent choice. All five courses that we played (Gramacho, Vila Sol, Alto, Silves and Pinta) are so diverse, well managed and in a beautiful environment. Although the weather report for the second half of the week was bad and rainy, we were able to play all rounds and really enjoyed them very much.
We all had a brilliant time as usual.
We all had a brilliant time as usual. Thanks very much for all your help in organising the accommodation at Pestana Dom João II and golf at Silves and Gramacho. It is a great hotel and the staff are brilliant. The courses were fabulous so thanks again
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.
