Pestana Carvoeiro Resort

Not as good as last year when the cleaners came every day but still a great placa

Superb apartment stunning views lots of space and big balcony to fit everyone on. The pool was great all be it a little freezing but didnt stop us having a dip.

Lovely apartment overlooking golf course and swimming pool. Comfortably furnished and well equipped kitchen

Brilliant resort although we were quite a way from the clubhouse but the taxi shuttles were good and always on time. We had a problem with one of our 2 bed apartments but it was sorted out efficiently and to our entire satisfaction between the resort & YGT. The town of Carvoeiro is very beautiful and only €12 in a taxi (8 people).

Self catering apartment had to change again this is the 4th year in a row, stayed one night in original apartment, moved next day into 84E apartment we had last year, all comments from last year had been taken on board and fixed.

Very bad customer service. Not accomodating at all. We arrived slightly earlier than scheduled but the resort had no safe place to store our luggage. Were told to leave it in changing room which had no lockers. Two villas were 30mins walk apart. Came as a group but spent most of the time in two groups, what a waste. Villa 181 had issues with water everyday and ants on last two days. Rang maintenance, main reception and tried to get hold of manager, all were useless.

Villa was excellent and we spent our afternoons there lazing by the pool. Breakfast was good lots of choice. Bar & range of beers good. Supermarket on site was good although taxis will stop at hyper market on way from airport if you wish.

Comfortable and spacious

The apartments we stayed in were not elaborate but were very comfortable. They were equipped with everything you need for self catering not that we made use of this as were dined out every day. The breakfasts were good and plentiful and we ate evening meals in the clubhouse on 2 occasions with both of them being very good on not overly expensive.

8 of us shared two 2 bed appartments Very good quality with everything you would need

Excellent rooms and plenty of extras..(iron washing machine and towels)

Excellent nothing to complain about, staff great, food and drinks great, service very good & rooms are fantastic !

First visit in the New Year of 2013 was supposed to be a hotel B&B week but hotel was closed. We ended up with a one bedroom apartment overlooking the 18th at Gramacho with breakfast at the club included & self catering for the rest of the food. The apartment was well appointed & the local off course supermarket very reasonable. All the Pestana courses were in good condition. We booked again in the New Year of 2015 because we enjoyed 2013. There was a bit of a hassle to get a suitable apartment but the resort staff fixed the problem within a couple of days and we had another good week with excellent weather. Silves had matured and has some spectacular elevated tees. 

Accommodation in self catering on the course was great. 

Service was exceptional at the course and the villa was above expectations.

Courses in superb condition. Staff extremely helpful. Will definitely return to same place next year!

Accommodation was first class, a 3 bed villa between the three of us overlooking Vale de Pinta. The courses were spectacular, we played Gramacho twice, Vale de Pinta once, Silves Twice and Vila Sol on our last day. Gramacho for me was a cut above the others, in fantastic condition, and a challenging course, with the par 3 10th possibly the nicest par three I have ever played. Vale de Pinta is much more elevated, and although I wouldn't recommend walking this course, it was a fantastic layout with some really memorable holes. Silves was the favourite of our other group members, it was in outstanding condition, the par 5 13th dogleg over water is without a doubt the nicest hole I have ever played. It was an easier test of golf compared to Gramacho and Vale de Pinta. As we had an evening flight we played Vila Sol on the way to the airport. the course was a little dry and much busier than the others, probably due to it being in Vilamoura. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anybody, I have been to a few resorts in Spain such as La Cala and this place is a different class. I would recommend a car to get about though. 

19th hole will always be the best hole, which ever the course.

Great choice of championship courses. Accommodation was very nice. Best value golf resort in the Algarve, our 4th year planned.

Great course.

The best course we played was Val de Pinta, but all are great courses and the staff were so polite and helpful. I would recommend to anyone.

Great breakfast. Buggies were a bit pricey. No consistency in prices from one clubhouse to another. Close to 3 premier resorts for apres golf.

All good, there's too much for me to say really. Have booked again.

The only thing that lets it down is the food and slow service. Golf was excellent and the courses great to play. Although not easy, the courses were very playable. They had a lot of caricature and were in good condition.

Greens can be fast and if windy keep to low irons.

Gramacho was my favourite as I Broke Par for the first time ever, shooting 69 Gross!

Gramacho hole 10 and Pinto hole 13 were the stand out holes. The apartment was clean and spacious and the staff were very helpful. Really enjoyable break. Would definitely go back.
