Vale d'Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"The entrance is very nice, but the pool is a bit small. And some of the rooms are a little outdated."

Colina da Lapa & Villas ★★★

"Location is terrible! Unless you enjoy walking 55 mins to the local town this place isn't for you. The staff are pretty rude and unhelpful. Rooms are very very basic, beds, sofa are uncomfortable and theres no warmth from the blankets provided. If you don't understand Portuguese then you won't be watching television. The walls are paper thin so if you enjoy a peaceful sleep you won't get 1 as you can hear everything from each apartment. The hotel offers no tours or anything like most hotels. The tours are very limited in the area, with carvoeiro only offering 1 or 2 basic tours. If you want somewhere local then I suggest you don't book here as you will end up walking miles or paying for taxi everywhere. Pretty disappointed as some reviews make it sound very good, but in theory it's 2☆ at maximum."

Pestana Gramacho Residences - Aparthotel & Golf ★★★★

"The location is a bit remote but the service is very good. There are two swimming pools in the hotel that you can use freely. There are waiters at the front desk 24 hours a day, so you don’t have to worry about there being no customer service staff."

BO House & Hairshop ★★★★

Pestana Carvoeiro Golfe - Al ★★★★

"Significant Disappointment at Pestana Golf Resort Carvoeiro (Booking reference: 743278) We booked our trip over a year in advance through Golf Breaks as a group of 12 women, with clear and specific requirements: two villas located next to each other, each sleeping six guests, and twin room configurations. Unfortunately, Pestana Golf Resort Carvoeiro failed to meet these expectations on multiple levels. Instead of the requested arrangement, our group was placed on opposite sides of the golf course, and the villas did not include the twin rooms we had booked. Several members of our party had to share double beds, not everyone was comfortable with this option and the only alternative offered was a cot bed, which was wholly inappropriate given the cost of the trip and the notice provided at the time of booking. The accommodation itself was also below standard. Villa 199 (a V3 villa) was very run down, with miscellaneous items shoved into cupboards, giving the impression of poor maintenance and disorganisation. Although the villa accommodates six people, it was supplied with only four sunbeds. We were assured additional sunbeds would be delivered, but they never arrived. The second half of our group was “upgraded” to a V4 villa, reportedly due to the resort being fully booked — raising concerns about overbooking, particularly given our early reservation. While the V4 villa was an improvement, it still presented issues, including ants inside one of the sofas and a smashed patio door. The significant distance between the two villas left our group feeling disconnected, which detracted from the overall experience. Our golf day at Pinta de Vale was similarly problematic. Our tee time was delayed due to the resort’s error in arranging transfers to the course, and by the time we finished, the scheduled transfers had already ceased at 4pm. The initial suggestion from staff was that we should order an Uber for 12 people with 10 sets of golf clubs, which was entirely impractical. Only after waiting for over an hour and requesting to speak with a manager was a transfer finally arranged. It is important to acknowledge the positive aspects of our stay. Gramacho Golf Course was excellent, the clubhouse food was of a high standard, and the bar staff were friendly, engaging, and contributed positively to the atmosphere. These elements were appreciated, but they were not enough to offset the broader issues we encountered. Overall, the experience fell far short of expectations due to poor organisation, inadequate accommodation standards, and a lack of effective customer service. Despite a few highlights, I cannot recommend Pestana Golf Resort Carvoeiro based on this stay."

Silena ★★★

Presa de Moura ★★★★

"We had a wonderful stay at Presa de Moura. The flat was beautiful and had everything you need for a trip with friends or family. The location was incredible as it was very close the most beautiful beaches, like playa da marinha or playa dos Caneiros. We also really loved walking around Carvoeiro and trying the food nearby. Final shoutout goes to the facilities in the residence such as the pool and incredible view of the sea. We loved this stay so much and will be back!"
