Pestana Viking Beach & Golf Resort

This place was stunning, perfect location! The views are AMAZING! The Italian place near by is to die for :-) The only reason I lowered a star was bc the room is definitely not big enough for 3. I would recommend doing a boat or kayak tour of the caverns lots of fun and beautiful :-) The beach right next door is tons of fun, lots of seaweed but great waves. Enjoy :-)

We have stayed in Pestana Viking for last 9 years as we love everything about it. Breakfast has been rearranged slightly this year with breads, cakes, pastries in the middle of the restaurant. Toaster is very slow and only toasts one side at a time. With only one for everyone and having to put bread in at least 7-8 times for a hint of brown, a queue quickly forms. Not ideal and badly needs replacing or at least a second one being installed. Didn’t notice anyone cooking omelettes or fried eggs as per previous years. Rooms are very clean and comfortable with everything you need. Our room had microwave, kettle, fridge and was very well equipped. Look forward to our next visit.

Stayed at this hotel for our late summer holiday with my best friend. The hotel is nice. Reception was very helpful and welcoming. Booked our trips through them, very helpful and informative. Reception area very nice. It was much quieter the time we went end Sep to early Oct 2019, which I like and not many kids, which also I like. The layout of the hotel is very confusing at first. We had a sea view twin room which was lovely and over looked the pool too. The balcony was big with sun loungers and table and chairs, nice suprise as did not except this. Sun facing too. Our room was nice, had kettle and cups in the room, but not tea and coffee etc.. we brought our own, not a problem. Room was quite basic and plain, plenty of storage space and the beds were so comfortable, we slept so well. Bathroom was ok, shower pole was broken, we reported it and was sorted quickly, shower was good, plenty of complimentary toiletries too. Our safe broke too, again was sorted very quickly, service was good. We were only bed and breakfast, so ate out every evening, lovely places within walking distance of the hotel and good food and not too expensive either. Breakfast at hotel was ok plenty of choice. It filled gap fine. We never used the spa, as the weather was lush the week we were there. Plenty of sun loungers by the pool and on lovely grass area over looking the sea, had plenty of choice, nice and quiet too. Pool was nice but cold, but once I was in it was nice and refreshing and cool off from the hot sun. Grounds were clean. Pool bar quite expensive if have food. Lovely little walk to the beach, down to the beach, up to the hotel, only about 5ish mins. Nice surrounding area. Nice clean beach too with a good cafe/restaurant there. Overall had a lovely relaxing summer holiday. Definitely recommend the area and hotel. Would go back to this 4 star hotel. Well worth it. Also highly recommend boat trip to the Benigal caves, awesome and well worth it..glad I did it.
