Vale d'Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"The entrance is very nice, but the pool is a bit small. And some of the rooms are a little outdated."

Pestana Gramacho Residences ★★★★

"Very good very ..."

Colina da Lapa & Villas ★★★

"My husband and I have just returned from a weeks holiday here at Colina de Lapa, and there are positives and negatives to staying here. We enjoyed the space in the apartment as bigger than what you’d get in a hotel. But if you’re looking for a beach holiday, or a lively/tourist spot with shops, bars, restaurants and souvenir shops, then I’d say this isn’t the place for you, or you need a car to get out and about! We said we wouldn’t return here as we like to be nearer the beach. Positives first The 1 bed apartment has benefits of a full kitchen inc kettle, washing machine, microwave, hob, oven, fridge freezer, TV, living room and dining table, it’s a great space for a small family and home from home really. Beds were firm and we slept great! Housekeeping came in every day apart from Sunday, they made/changed the beds, we had clean towels daily, they emptied bins and did a little clean round. It’s a quiet and peaceful area with beautiful gardens and pool. We didn’t use the pool so can’t comment but it looked nice. There’s a shuttle bus that takes you to Carvoeire. We didn’t use this as we had a car, so not sure of the exact details but I believe it drops you off at 11am and picks you up at 4pm. Evening meals were nice but limited. Tennis courts and basketball court I think Children’s play area Negatives You need a car to get out and about as it’s quite far away from any town. It’s definitely not suited to anyone with mobility issues. There is a bit of a hill from the restaurant area, to the reception area, (where you get the shuttle) and there are steps round the complex. Takes over 30 minutes to walk to nearest beach, going down is ok but coming up (it’s all uphill) is another story! Unless you get a taxi or use the shuttle to go to the beach in carvoeiro The restaurant is limited, not sure if it’s because we went out of season (2nd week in an October.) We opted for half board (which was more expensive than we’d paid in other hotels) the breakfast was continental, cold meats, cereal, pastries, yoghurts, fruit, no eggs or hot food though. The HB evening meal option was a choice of 2 dishes (not enough variety) and we were offered the same food a few times. It did taste nice what we had though but needs more veg/salad options. Others who were eating here and not HB said they didn’t have all that was on the menu either. But could be a seasonal thing. Apartment is dated, needs modernizing. We also had ants in the bathroom, not mega amounts but about 6-12 and then we saw 1 climbing up the wardrobe in the bedroom, so panicked in case they crept in the bed! There was a subtle musty/damp smell In our apartment, more so in the bedroom. You got used to it when in the apartment, only noticing when you’d been out and come back in. No shops on site, (not even for basics) nearest one is a 10-15 minute walk away which isn’t far unless you’ve got mobility issues. No gym. The complex has apartments and villas with pools, whic"

Pestana Valley ★★★★

"A fantastic holiday home with great comfort and a beautiful pool. The park is green and spacious furnished."

Quinta Tapada Do Gramacho ★★★

"I have travelled since I was a kid all over the world, but I believe this is the best accommodation I’ve ever stayed at all things considered. Me and my wife have stayed there two years in a row now. I would recommend it to everyone except for noise groups of people since it is a very soothing and relaxing place."

Pestana Carvoeiro Golfe - Al ★★★★

"Nice place but unfortunately customer service is non existent. Maintenance issues happen, we all understand that but when the lady you phone to speak to to ask someone to come and deal with it politely after having reported it 12 hours prior days to you “that’s life and hangs up on you”! Air conditioning not working. Dealt with it on the first night. But after two nights of it and no one bothering to come over and take a look after reporting it on a number of occasions, patience is wearing thin. There are a number of phone numbers you are given to call for a shuttle and customer service - rarely seems to be anyone answering. Never experienced such a lack of customer service anywhere."

Presa de Moura ★★★★

"We had an absolutely wonderful time at Presa da Moura, the flat has everything you need to spend a perfect holiday with your friends and loved ones, we will definitely go back !
