The Viking is a great 4 star hotel. Rooms were very clean, fully equipped with kitchenette, nice shower, with balcony's. Bar area was nice - very friendly bar-man, prices a little steep (but usual for hotel bar). Music on Fri and Sat nights is one man and his piano. I nearly committed suicide. Bottled water's quite pricey, we were told... more

4 weeks of vacationing in Portugal - Pestana Viking was by FAR the best 1 week stay we'd experienced. Very comfortable suites, very clean, well appointed, well equipped. Pools/spa were very clean, staff were much more pleasant and service conscious than any other Portugal hotel staff we'd encountered on our previous 3 weeks in the Algarve. Pestana Viking has great... more

I recently spent one night at the Pestana on my trip through Spain & Portugal. This hotel sits in a lovely location along the central Algarve. I had the benefit of a GPS system otherwise it may be difficult to find. Parking is a bit tight and in the summer might be impossible. The hotel is well maintained. The pool... more

Set just out of town and thus ideal for those hiring a car (a must to get the very best out of this region) this hotel is funky and laid back with enough of an eye on customer service to really make it worth a visit. Many of the rooms come with a kitchenette area, with a large fridge, which... more

Just back from spending Christmas week at The Viking. Weather was great all week, people were actually sunbathing in swimwear around the pool tho nobody actually swam in the outdoor pool. The hotel is beautifully situated on a cliff top with tremendous views and a lovely garden to lounge in. Shame that the other buildings in the area are a... more

I took my partner here for her Birthday, having visited it once before to look around and been impressed. Since being bought and refurbished by Pestana, the hotel is of an excellent standard. We wouldn't consider it luxurious, as we were only staying in a small twin room, but it was well furnished in a modern style, clean, and with... more

Fabulous hotel and service, a perfect location to totally relax and unwind. Hotel is surrounded by small intimate beaches, you can for €15 go on a boat trip for the best part of an hour along the coast going in and out of caves and seeing totally private secluded beaches - you really can have a whole beach to yourself... more

this was our first time travelling abroad with our baby , so we were expecting high standards from the Prestana Viking; having being told by our travel agent that it was a 4* premier hotel. However, on arrival, my partner was taken to one side by the assistant hotel manager and informed that we would be staying at the Prestana... more

We have just returned from a week in this hotel and had a lovely time. We had booked a standard rrom with garden views but when we arrived they upgraded us to a suite with a sea view which was great. We did find some confusion on our first day regarding the sun loungers by the pool. Reception give you... more
