The hotel is a generally attractive and pleasant facility. The staff are generally helpful and responsive to questions. We stayed Feb 2-16, 2009 an unusally cold period. However, we had several problems which were not dealt with in a manner expected of a 4 star facility. a) The apartment was unavailable to us until 1300 hr on the day of... more

We arrived here on New years Day and the area was very quiet and alot of shops and restuarants in Carvoeiro was closed for their holidays,but we were lucky that the restuarant on the resort was open so we could eat that evening!! The town house we stayed in was fantastic we had a gorgeous sea view and we had... more

stayed here after previously staying at pestana porches. I looked on the website and expected the same quality as it was a similar price. How very different. The reception is very small but staff helpful and allowed me to check in early. I emailed hotel and requested a room with a terrace and sea view. They were accomodating and upgraded... more

I was very disappointed with this place especially after having read the mainly positive reviews here. We were unfortunate in where our house was located - we had no garden and what was described as a terrace (more like a lump of concrete with bars around it)overlooked what was fundamentally a car park. Because it was Easter the resort was... more

The appartements are clean and spacious, we had the two bedroom two bathroom one and the kitchens are well equipped, thou we ate out mostly. Our patio area was a bit disapointing small and near the parking area. The pool is a bit small and... more

Returned back a week ago from the Palm Gardens, and can safely say that I would go back there again! I went with my mum dad and 17 year old sister (I'm 22) and pretty much everything was just what I wanted in a relaxing holiday away from the English "summer". The villas/condos/apartments are fab, really well equipped, from what... more

I stayed at Palm Gardens for a week in April 2007 with my wife and 2 children 9 & 13 and we had a wonderful time. The staff were so helpful which is always a big plus. The house was very clean indeed and everything worked perfectly. In fact, the whole place was clean, no litter anywhere which always creates... more

We were two couples who shared a two bedroom in Pestana Palm Gardens for two weeks this April. We enjoyed our time there. The pool was heated and the surroundings were clean. We had a rental car and were able to visit many parts of the Algarve and were very impressed with the scenery that we saw. We ate in... more

Our family of 5 stayed at Palm Gareds after reading reviews. One of our reasons for choosing this place was because they advertised heated pool. What we found when we arrived was very disappointing! Beginning with check -in, Thankfully the security guard was very pleasant and checked us into our condo that was reserved online. The next morning, front desk... more
