We booked this condo through RCI so I can not comment on value. This property is attached to the Pestana Viking, where we checked in, and went for dinner, and used their indoor pool. I was told during the high season Porches Praia has its own check in and its own outdoor pool. Even so, the Viking (Pestana staff) was... More

We have been visiting these apartments for the last 3 years. We visited for the first time in 2008 when on holiday in Albefura and were immediately impressed not only with the apartments on offer but with the fact that we could use the facilities of the neighbouring Pestana Viking Hotel. We went back for a second time whilst on... More

We were let down by a travel agent who went into administration and just managed to book this apartment at the last minute. What a pleasant surprise. It was advertised as a garden view but we got a sea view. The room was well decorated, clean and had comfortable furniture. The kitchen was well equipped. Nice location. It is a... More

We arrived about 10:00am and our room was not ready until about 2:00pm, which was fine so we were able to hang around and check out the facilities at the Pestana Viking Resort, which were typical of a Pestana 4* Hotel. The Pool area was crowded and there were no free sun beds and packed with children. Our actual accommodation... More

I was sure I had posted a review here before - it's not the sort of place you forget in a hurry. We ended up here by pure accident (long story) two years ago and bought a Holiday Ownership. We've been here twice and I'm already dying to get back next year. To my family this place is ideal. Quiet,... More

we stayed here last july and had a great time. we were in a garden view apartment which was just fantastic for the kids [6 year old and 1.5 yr old].. the gardens are actually closed in by gates at the other end so was safe for kids to play. we had a one bedroom apartment which was very spacious....

my second visit to this hotel and it was not a disappointment. Booked with medhotels as much cheaper than booking direct with the hotel. Had a one bed ground floor apartment and contacted hotel by email for a room with a garden and close to the swimming pool. The staff were welcoming and informative. Allowed to check in early at...

Just returned from holiday, the apartment was fabulous and well worth the 4* rating. The maid service was everyday and thorough with clean towels daily and bedding 3 times a week. We stayed bed and breakfast and there was a good selection of food and the staff were very helpful if you required anything else. Overall we had a happy... More

Just got back from a weeks stay at the Pestana Porches with my parents & my two & a half year old daughter. After reading the fantastic reviews on Trip Advisor we booked a two bedroom apartment with sea view on a b&b basis and we were not disapointed. The accomodation was superb and of top quality. The towels &... More
