Great place to stay in Algarve!
Pestana Palm Gardens was a wonderful apartment/ resort! Great location, complete apartment facilities, pool and fitness room was very good, But most of all, the staff were outstanding! Friendly, fast, perfect service.
The villa was spacious, well-equipped with all amenities, and conveniently located just a short walk from the beach. The reception staff were very helpful and provided useful information for first-time visitors to the area. The property features a lovely pool, sauna, and restaurant, with beautiful ocean views from the patio and terrace. It is also situated right along the famous Seven Hanging Valleys Trail.
The only issue during our stay was an unexpected water shut-off on both days. We would have appreciated prior notice so we could prepare accordingly. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing.
