Hotel Mesra keluarga di Porches

We hosted our wedding celebration at Pestana Viking, and it was absolutely incredible—far beyond our expectations! From the stunning venue to the exceptional service, everything was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. The attention to detail and personalized touches made the whole experience feel magical. A huge thank you to Fábio, Bárbara, Kateryna, and the entire team for their hard work and dedication, ensuring that every moment was unforgettable for us and our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night!

This hotel is second to none. We have been visiting each year for twenty years as a family in July and as a couple in September. Each time there is a new addition or change that makes it even more special. There is never a single thing that can be faulted. The food is fabulous, having a vast choice of restaurants, the rooms and hotel are beautiful and best of all are the lovely team of staff. We feel like we are family. Cannot recommend enough.

With a stay at this apartment in Lagoa (Alporchinhos), you'll be within a 15-minute drive of Marinha Beach and Salgados Beach. This apartment is 9.4 mi (15.2 km) from Albufeira Old Town Square and 15.6 mi (25.1 km) from The Strip.Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access and a picnic area.Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. Cable television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and an electric kettle.

In August 2024, we stayed for a week in an apartment with our two adult children, in the top left corner of the residence (apartment 6609). The place was absolutely quiet and surrounded by lush greenery. We had a very large terrace with a garden in front of it and a large, magnificent ocean view. The residence's gardens are absolutely extraordinary. The trees are majestic, the species diverse, the flowers are everywhere and in different colors. It's simply magical, and creates an atmosphere of incredible serenity. Thank you to the talented landscapers and the people who look after this natural environment. The overall architecture of the residence is really beautiful, with an ochre-brown color and soft, rounded shapes rather than cold angles. Our apartment was sublime in every way, and above all of a size that exceeded our expectations. The two bedrooms are far enough apart to guarantee privacy. The communal living area (living room, dining room and kitchen) makes cooking and eating “at home” very comfortable. Breakfast is a must - no one should miss it. Everything, absolutely everything, is here and comes from the region. The choice of fruit prepared separately is incredible. And it's enjoyed above one of the residence's pools ... overlooking the ocean... A dream come true! The service is impeccable and, above all, extremely kind. A big thank you also to the invisible people, those we don't see but who make it all possible. We'll be back again.

Just back from this hotel, went for a 10 day trip with my partner and son. Lovely area, much quieter than Albufiera which will suit some people, we did miss the bustle a bit but only 11 euros or so in an Uber Cleanliness Hotel absolutely immaculate, cleaners and restaurant bar and restaurant staff work so hard and it shows. Food and drink Drinks good as was the food. Plenty of options with the 24 hour snack bar, great selling point. Food was mixed and of a good standard, Special mention to the omelette chef at the sea front restaurant making my wee boy his favourite omelette daily with a smile, lovely guy! Staff at both pool bars also extra friendly and were all lovely to me and my family, a credit to the hotel. Entertainment Definitely catered for the French, British a bit of an afterthought with a few of the animation team but didn’t really bother us. They could try a little bit harder with the kids though, seemed a bit passive, more nonsense required to engage the kids, it’s maybe been a long season! The entertainment hall massive, staff there lovely too and a great location for the night time disco, again a lot of which is in French. Overall a superb hotel, definitely would return, well worth the money.

I stayed with my family for 5 days at this Hotel, our experience was excellent, the service was very good, the rooms had plenty of space and the facilities were also new, the kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean. The pool was super cold, we weren't able to enjoy it, even the indoor pool was too cold for our taste. There is a supermarket nearby, the beach nearby was very calm and full of families. The restaurant was also very good and the chef made adaptations for me since I don't eat gluten or lactose. We just missed a play ground for the children. We will be back next year for sure

Alles is aanwezig. Ik kan niks bedenken wat ik heb gemist.Het plaatsje is een prachtig startpunt voor wandelroute langs de beroemde kliffen.Oorspronkelijk had ik in Paderne geboekt. Een paar dagen voor vertrek kreeg ik bericht dat die accomodatie werd

We have just returned from a one week stay and have really enjoyed our time here. Firstly we stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment which was situated over the road from the main complex where the one bed apartments are located (so can’t comment on these apartments). The apartment was very spacious with an enclosed garden to the front with x2 loungers for our use. The downstairs was an open plan dinner/kitchen/lounge space with a tv (no English tv but usb port if you wanted to bring a firestick or switch etc). Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, coffee machine, toaster and oven (although oven was very slow to cook things). The sofa in the downstairs are appeared to be a sofa bed but we didn’t need this. WiFi though out the apartment (limited to 5 devices) was really good. No aircon downstairs but shutters throughout kept the apartment cool. Garden furniture downstairs to the rear however this was open so no privacy, one lunchtime we sat down to eat and our neighbours were also outside smoking - however we just moved inside. 2 bedrooms upstairs both we air con. Plenty of storage space for clothes and cases etc. safe in one room which was included in the cost. Very large bathroom with a great shower. There was a roof terrace however no seating, we did try and move the table upstairs but it wouldn’t fit through the door. The 2 bedroom apartment side of the complex has its own large pool, play area and small pool. There is also a small football pitch which the kids enjoyed using. Plenty of sunloungers. We didn’t venture over to the other side of the complex other than to check in but there was a cafe, restaurant and further pool. We had a car which was very useful as Porches is quite quiet however the beach, shops and local restaurants were all 15/20 mins walk away. The local town of Armancio de perra is about 1.5 miles away and is a traditional Portuguese town. No bright lights and British bars like Albuferia however this is what we like. No noise issues for us however we requested an end apartment- we did hear neighbours at times but nothing too bad but I suppose it depends on your neighbours. Only slight negatives, no BBQ, not enough sockets in the kitchen and as mentioned oven very slow. Overall however an excellent self catering base to explore the algarve.
