Our stay at Pestana Palm Gardens was a mixed experience. The Premium Villa we had offered stunning views and was well-equipped with modern amenities. However, the resort lacked family-friendly activities and dining options were limited in the area. The location had great proximity to picturesque beaches, but it was quite a walk to the town center.
