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.

Our stay at this resort was truly enjoyable, with clean and spacious rooms that felt just like home. The staff was exceptionally warm and helpful, contributing to a great atmosphere. However, be prepared for a bit of an uphill walk to town and the beach, which could be challenging for some.
