"We had a wonderful relaxing week at Vale da Lapa in April with our two young sons. The villa was spacious, well equipped and cleaned every day if you want it to be.
The swimming pools are great and the boys loved them. It was quite quiet the week we were there, so we often had them to ourselves. We also used the spa facilities and these were great too.
The restaurant had a good menu for lunches. We didn't go in the evenings, so I don't know about the menu for that.
The staff were really...
"Everything was absolutely perfect. One of the best resorts I’ve ever stayed at. Every staff member from the front desk to the wait staff were absolute professionals and made us feel very important and welcomed. This place is a dream. I will be back. OBRIGADO!!!"
"Located in a quiet area of Carvoeiro the property and grounds, pool etc are kept in good condition.
Apartment was well equipped with dishwasher and washing machine etc and AC.
All staff were friendly and very helpful.
A hire car is useful but Carvoeiro is walkable, but the the return walk is uphill and very steep in places. Cars can be hired through the hotel and the rate we got was better than going direct to the bigger companies.
We would definitely return here if we go back to this area....
"Endroit tranquille malgré le fait que ça soit très familial.
Déjeuner inclus excellent.
L’appartement qui nous avait été assigné était bien situé par rapport à la piscine.
Localisation centrale par rapport aux activités environnantes de la région. Nécessite des déplacements en voiture."
"Roads near by are small and the restaurant is too expensive. However. The rooms, staff, pool and included breakfast are 10/10 a must stay. Eat dinner and lunch elsewhere and plan your route into town."
"Pestana Palm Gardens was a wonderful apartment/ resort! Great location, complete apartment facilities, pool and fitness room was very good, But most of all, the staff were outstanding! Friendly, fast, perfect service. "

The staff were really friendly and really happy to help with anything, including sorting out our airport transfer that had not confirmed our return trip.
If you want to explore the area quite a lot then you will probably want to get a car. We just went into Carvoeiro town a couple of times, which is about a 5 minute drive and about €5-10 in a taxi. It has loads of great restaurants and a lovely beach.
We loved our stay and would love to go back again. "
