Hotel Pantai di Carvoeiro

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful location - we went at a time where it was a little quieter but still sunny. They town is small and cute and during summer I’m sure there’s more entertainment. The staff in the beginning weren’t as welcoming but after that they were all very pleasant. We did mention it’s our anniversary but as this was in the beginning with staff that weren’t bothered nothing was done. Other staff were very very nice and always so helpful. Breakfast was lovely and the bar at night was also lovely.

We have just returned and loved our stay, so much so we’re booking for 2025. We booked with on the beach and had a 2 bed garden villa facing one of the smaller pools, the location could not have been better. The villa was dated but functional , maids every 2 days and clean towels etc. in between we just wizzed through with the brush to sweep up (5 mins tops). The reception staff were always nice to us and pleasant ! The shop on site was ok but the spar behind the resort was better (fresh bread , pastries and croissants etc) Heldas bar behind the resort also fab for lunch , we got taxis to town to eat out 7 euro each way and ate in bars locally , the restaurant on site was also fab. Would recommend primavera and the lighthouse as our top eateries , the villa was a little dated but it didn’t bother us , it was so spacious ! We loved it here , saw a few people arguing over sunbeds but that happens anywhere ! Book it with confidence ! We’re headed straight back next year x we also hired a car at the airport with zitt auto who were fab , we went to zoo marine , albuferia , Portimão , obvs Intermarché and Apolónia for food shops ,(never seen so much wine choice in Apolónia) amazing ! We did the caves in a speed boat which the kids loved , (14&5) !! It’s been so lovely to escape the all inclusive chaos ! We stayed in villa 523.

Quarto grande e silencioso mas os armários são velhos e as cortinas sujas e com partes emperradas. Varanda grande porém suja e precisa de uma atualização na pintura. Banheiro com bom espaço porém com cheiro forte que vem do ralo. O quarto é grande e seria bom ter um lixo adicional porque só tem no banheiro e na cozinha. A mini cozinha tem um bom frigobar mas os armários e pia são bem antigos, com cheiro forte. Senti falta de detergente e bucha na cozinha. Pelo nível do quarto justificaria ter uma Nespresso, seria muito bom. Ponto favorável são as toalhas de ótima qualidade tanto no quarto quanto na piscina. A área da piscina é linda, jardim bem cuidado e cadeiras top para deitar. O bar é interessante também mas não usei porque achei os preços um pouco caros. Café da manhã médio, sugiro suco de laranja fresco para melhorar e mais opções de pães. Jantamos um dia no hotel, não recomendo, é serviço de buffet e a comida não estava boa, foi caro. Melhor fazer as refeições fora.

Pestana was a bit hit and miss, your enjoyment of your stay all depends on what neighbors you get as the rooms are NOT in the slightest bit soundproof as advertised.  I would love to give 5 stars just based on the staff and the facilities for the price you pay but this is the least soundproof place we've ever stayed in and we've stayed at Ibis and Travel Lodge and even they didn't have paper thin walls. I'm quite annoyed at the false advertising of soundproof as that's what our booking was based on for a week and half of peaceful break. I understand the hotel can't control who checks in and where they stay and how noisy they are, however we would have avoided Pestana if we knew how thin the walls are. We also did not like having to pack and unpack 3 times but it's what we had to do to tey get good nights sleep to enjoy our holiday. Upon arrival we checked into G61, we could hear every step every person made up the stairs and along the top floor as  as every draw or door being closed. There is absolutely no privacy when sitting outside the lounge in the garden, the table next door is literally 1m away as well as their sun lounges. Due to noisy kids we asked to be moved.  Reception lady was freindly and pleasant and made every effort to move us, she gladly checked availability and got another room ready for us while we went for a hike. We then checked into 27. This house was also not soundproof whatsoever. We could hear the neighbors TV  but it was quieter as there were no kids constantly running up and down the stairs. However our peace was short lived as 2 days later our new neighbors came home every morning at 2am and made a noise till 4am and then woke up early too continuing with their noise. All we heard constantly was doors closing, showers running, loud steps, talking, constant whistling and you can even here them plugging things into the walls. So needless to say we were exhausted from the lack of sleep for days which made our stay unpleasant. We then moved a 2nd time to G67 which was the same block of terraced suits as the first one. Luckily our neighbors on either side were quiet but on one side they woke up at 6am every morning which meant we did too due to the lack of soundproofing. Basically if you're in your aparent you are subjected to constant banging from cupboards and doors, hearing every step made up m down stairs and the plugging in of appliances into the adjacent walls. All 3 rooms had pretty much the same layout with decent sea and garden views. There is quick easy access to the cliffs infront and a short walk to 2 beautiful beaches on either side of the resort, as well as a quick 2km walk down into town.  We didn't eat at the restaurant on site as we self catered and there are also many great restaurants in town and the best sushi takeaway in Lagoa. Intermarche supermarket is a 5 min drive away and had a great selection of everything we needed for our 2 week stay. Had a few maintenance issues in the 1 apartment,

My Wife and I have just returned from a week's stay in the Mirachoro hotel, Carvoeiro. We were booked bed and breakfast. The hotel was excellent and a joy to be in. It was well situated, beautifully maintained and spotless. Our room was perfect, cleaned every day with fresh towels, lovely balcony view and well air conditioner. The Staff were so helpful and breakfast was an absolute treat! A variety of cereals and seeds, fresh fruit, cheese, yoghurts, cooked items, assortment of breads and more. Great pool, WiFi service, book library and more. What a fantastic week and The Mirachoro was just perfect!!! Thank you so much to the Management and Staff!! 👏👏❤️ Paul and Roisin

AMAZING! I will 100% return to Hello Villas. The pool is a great size and the pool bar has a simple menu with sandwiches, pizza, chips and drinks and is reasonably priced too. There is a barrier and porter at the entrance/exit so it felt very safe with children. Just a 10 min walk to the centre where there are plenty of places to eat and drink and shop. The walk is steep so coming back up takes a little longer and would be a challenge with a buggy or small kids/older travellers but the taxi cost around €4/€5 which we took at night and walked in the morning. The beach is stunning, the coastline is amazing and there are plenty of place to walk where you will see something different every time. We climbed through caves and jumped into the ocean and swam in cave pools. We had the 2 bed villa which was huge. Came with a washing machine and everything you could need. Beds covers and towels were changed regularly and the villa cleaned. We stayed 10 night and could have stayed 10 more

It’s our second time to Monte Santo and it was better than the first a number of years ago. Apartments were spotlessly cleaned and well maintained. All facilities available with the exception of a clothes horse. Hotel said it was because there was a washer dryer but I prefer not to use a dryer on lots of items. Cleaners were good and came every day. Towels were changed when required and pool towels can be changed daily. Lots of beds available at the pool however if you want an umbrella you need to be there earlier. I understand that more umbrellas are on the way. Lots of maintenance taking place to keep the resort up to standard. In comparison to other resorts I’ve stayed in, I think they could do more with the restaurant and bar. A better lunch and snack menu and a better priced evening menu would attract a lot more customers. Overall a lovely stay. It’s not 5 star and probably more good 4 star.

OK the positives to start: the apartment is big and very clean, kitchen was fairly new and the bathroom was a good size too with two sinks, the pool was a decent size and I'm afraid that's it... Negatives: the gentleman on reception took forever to check us in, half an hour... he was on his mobile the whole time. The beds are awful, like sleeping on a slab of concrete, hardwood under the mattress. The pillows are small and lumpy. The breakfast had to be one of the worst we have had, no variety, same thing every day. Bacon and scrambled eggs, not once were they hot. Bread for toast, croissants were bland, no sweetness, fruit salad looked awful, cereal, bread, meat and cheese, that was it for the whole week... Not fresh juice, tasted like cordial. We only stayed B&B so cannot comment on lunch, evening meal or snacks. There are kennels nearby and the barking in the early hours took its toll, was up around 5.30 every morning, not what you want when on holiday... This could be a great place if it was updated, the furniture is also old looking...

We stayed here in August after a week long group holiday in a villa in Benagil. This was just what we needed to recover from a hectic week ! The villas are spacious and spotlessly clean . We stayed in a two story two bed villa . The bed was huge and the balcony had wonderful views over the gardens . Most of all - the people who make this place so special are the staff . Tania , Natalino and Tieery to name a few . All the staff at this lovely village have made this one of the best holidays . They are so friendly and charming they make you smile everyday . I would love to name them all but there were so many . The taxis are cheap (5 euros) if you want to visit nearby Carvoiero for a bit more of a lively scene and amazing restaurants like A Gale and Jota Lita . There was a really good mix of nationalities staying at the village so you feel part of a truly global family . 100% we will be returning again .
