Hotel berhampiran Praia da Ponta da Adega (Oeste), Porches

Amazing place, 2 big bedrooms we booked and they were huge. Clean in general. Had all kitchen and catering amenities. Staff was kind. For the price it was a steal. Highly recommend this place. It’s about 12 min drive to albufeira center. There’s a Aldi in 5 min drive very handy. The place has a common swimming pool we did not use it as it was still a bit chilly and we were tired too. Lot of parking around inside the villa. The only downsides I can say and they are minor the shower could be slightly better spray that’s it. 5/5 for me.

This is my 2nd time there and it was another good trip. I can't give it 5 stars for a couple of minor niggles but, overall, it's very good. It's a very nice resort, the accommodation is very nice, if slightly functional, and the people are warm and friendly. The villas tend to have private pools and the apartments share pools, which also have a small bar and plenty of shade. The 'sun loungers' are cheap plastic, which is a bit disappointing, but it's not a big deal. The resort is quite spread out but they offer a free shuttle bus from early in the morning until 11pm at night, so it's not an issue. You phone up from your room and they are there in minutes. Breakfast is very nice and fresh with a decent selection of the usual hot food, cereal, fruit, pastries etc. The lunch menu in the clubhouse is the same as dinner but that's fine as most people either eat in their apartments/villas or go off-site to the multiple restaurants within a 15 min drive. The bedrooms in the two bed apartments are small. We were 4 male golfers and one of the rooms was so small that, with the beds next to each other, you could barely open the cupboards. The other room (the en-suite) was slightly bigger. Our bathroom shower drain was blocked and flooded the room on the last day but I guess that could have been an isolated issue. One thing I don't like is that, with the 3 night package, there is no housekeeping and they don't change the towels. That's very odd to me. I actually called them on day 3 to ask for new towels which they agreed to but they never turned up. In terms of the golf, I know they've had very little rain since April and they are not allowed to water any part of the course other than tee's, fairways and greens. Not an issue I hear you say, but the tees are very lush to the point of ridiculous (they just need to be cut) and anywhere other than the middle of the fairway is very very dry. The plus is that the greens are superb, other than all the unrepaired pitchmarks, but that's not their fault! I was there in the middle of July so it was hot, but the advantage is that it was quiet. I've been there in high season and you are staring at a 5.5/6hr round. This time we were round in 4 hrs. What a pleasure. If you can deal with the 35c, then it's cracking. I will be rebooking for 2025.

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,

Just back from a week at wonderful Mirachoro Carvoeiro. Delighted with our room and the huge balcony with the sea visible in the distance and the setting sun.( we had requested this view and management very kindly were able to facilitate it on this occasion) Loved the quality of the bed linen though the mattress was a bit like a seesaw 🙂All the staff were really very pleasant . The Breakfast food tasted very good. The Hotel is spotlessly clean. The pool area very pleasant. The location is brilliant. 7 mins downhill and 10mins uphill ( a little bit of a climb) to a beautiful beach with fresh Atlantic water to swim in and the main town. Plenty of restaurants close to the hotel and in the town. We really loved our stay and definitely hope to return.

We got a deal on this place so decided to take the gamble and go. We were not disappointed. We loved it. The place is in the middle of no where but that didn't bother us. There is a minibus service early morning and late afternoon but to be honest Uber is only 7 euros into the town. Fab pool area that wasn't crowded and loved the pool bar and eatery. The villa was up 3 flights of stairs but again that didn't bother us because the villa was massive and clean. The staff are also very nice and helpful. There are 2 or 3 bars a half a mile away and walking on an evening was a pleasure. We also walked to the beach which takes a good 30 minutes but we enjoyed the walk. There is a fantastic restaurant opposite the site gates and a fantastic restaurant on the beach, but beware, they are very expensive. You will struggle to keep a meal for 2 under 150 euros in either of them. The 2 or 3 bars nearby mainly do pizza and a pizza is circa 15 euros. This isolation of this place won't be for everyone, but we loved it and will be back.

리뷰가 극과극으로 갈리는 곳.. 가보니 이유를 알겠습니다 시설, 서비스는 좋아요 수영장에 세탁건조기(성능은 영) 사우나 스파까지 무료로 이용 가능하고 건물구조가 특이허지만(1,8층 리셉션, 엘베 2대 갈아타기 등)적응하면 괜찮습니다 저희는 택시가 길을 못 찾아서 캐리어끌고 언덕을 올랐는데, 1층 리셉션은 spar 마트쪽에 있어요. 친절하긴 한데 에어컨 고장으로 2번이나 불렀는데도 안와서 그냥 포기했습니다 여기는 올드타운 한가운데, 사실 위치보고 예약했는데 그야말로 클럽거리 한가운데 있어서 숙소 안에 있어도 밤새 콘서트장에서 지내는 기뷴입니다 방음이 안되어 새벽 5시까지는 함께 즐기셔야해요 이 소음이 외국분 리뷰 표현처럼 어나더레벨ㅋㅋ입니다 세계여행 하는데 여긴 참 애매해요ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 조식도 나쁘지 않은데 그냥 애매합니다…. 개인적으로는 알부페이라 딱 이 골목만 아니면 덜 시끄럽고 좋을듯 해요!!

Llagamos sobre las 15h de la tarde y la persona de la recepción no encontraba nuestra reserva hecha a través de Trip.com. Con mucho cabreo e insistencia nos dijo que no podía hacer nada y que teníamos que contactar con Trip.com para solucionar la cosa con ellos (tras 9horas de viaje y todos los correos posibles de confirmación). Mientras que esperaba que los de Trip.com nos respondieran, nos llama otra persona diciendo que todo estaba en orden, que no la encontraban por un ”error informático”. Ni una disculpa, nada. La habitación no estaba mal, segunda planta, bien situada. Instalación del hotel vieja, las 5 estrellas no se merecen, sinceramente, es un 4 estrellas actual, para el precio pagado está bien. Desayuno a buffet bueno, servicio igual de bueno y atento. Tuvimos un problema un día que no hicieron la habitación, tuvimos que reclamar a las 19:30h y la limpiaron y hicieron muy de prisa (y de manera bastante ”ligera”), pero, bueno.... No podemos opinar sobre SPA, Gimnasio etc ya que no hemos probado esos servicios.

Ottimi i servizi e le indicazioni del personale, tutti estremamente cordiali e gentili con il loro sorriso, sempre pronti ad esaudire ogni richiesta.
