Pestana Viking Beach & Spa Resort

Great

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of a lively tourist area, this resort strikes the perfect balance — welcoming for children without being overwhelmingly kid-focused, ensuring adults can truly unwind.

Great stay location close to beach very nice one.

Is older that it looks on the pictures
Stuff is ok
Rooms are tiny
View amazing so overall is 3-4 stars

It was amazing, the services was perfect and helpful staffs.

Lovely kind friendly staff

The staff were all excellent, unfortunately some amenities such as the pool bar were not open

To positives; Nice grounds, I was there in winter so place was relatively dead, not many restaurants open etc. But it was nice to walk to 2 beaches very close buy. Nice morning buffett
THe negative: This is supposed to be a non smoking in the rooms hotel(not sure how well this was enforced) but apparently allowed to smoke on balconies. If I had known that I probably wouldn't; have stayed there. My room had not been smoked in but the ventilation system would bring smoke into the room from apparently adjacent rooms.I am highly sensitive to cigarette smoke so I requested a room change that was granted so that was nice. But haviing to deal with the smoke temporarily was definitely a negative for me.

Cancelled this before the 11.59 deadline and was refused a refund.

Our stay at the resort was wonderful. The staff was exceptional and very lovely to us. There are several beaches within walking distance. The breakfast was plentiful with lots of choices. I would recommend this resort and we will definitely be returning for another trip.

The property was very dated and mediocre, at best. The amenities were 15 years old. There is no onsite parking and the beds were hard and uncomfortable.

Secluded beaches around hotel

Its old. Looks old. Smells cigarette in the rooms. Terrible ac. Very disappointing. Poor quality food. Terrible mattresses. Towels are old.

It has a great breakfast. Nice access to a great beach or great pool to hang out at. The hotel could use a little updating but is clean and maintenance is good.

This is a very good

This is an older resort that has been well cared for and updated. It is only a few steps from a beautiful beach.
Be aware that you need to establish a line of credit with the front desk if you want to charge things to your room.

My husband and i absolutely loved our stay at Pestana Viking. Everyone in the resort was so nice, helpful and kind.
Absolutely breathtaking views! Redonda Cove right behind the resort and other beaches walking distance. Cannot recommend this enough.
Thank you guys so much! Can't wait to be back!

A really lovely place to stay. Our room, on the top floor, had wonderful sea and coastal views. Great walks to the beaches and plenty of sunbeds in the gardens. Indoor and outdoor pools. Great staff too.

We had one silly problem as, on day one, their credit card system would not work so our purchases of drinks was not recorded! Eventually they did get it to work.

Loved it here. Our room was spotless, serviced every day and very well equipped. Paid extra for sea view and so pleased we did. The location was stunning and within a few minutes walk of excellent beaches and restaurants. The hotel food was really good too.
Without exception all the staff were friendly and welcoming. Would come back in a heart beat.

Overall our stay at the Pentasa was good. The breakfast had a good selection but you need to go early if possible to avoid waiting for a table. The location was good and easy access to the beach providing you have no mobility issues. The indoor pool was great especially as we had a particularly rainy day but the pool could do with being a few degrees warmer as I found it uncomfortable. The steam room was lovely. The rooms could do with a bit of an update in decor, we had the superior suite which had a queen size bed and roll out bed from under the sofa. This was comfortable enough for my daughter but you could not sit comfortably on the actual sofa itself. Our fridge did not close properly but was not an issue for us as only stored drinks in this. The kitchenette was basic but again had no need to use this. The view from our room was lovely. For the price I paid I thought it was good. I would return again but would like to see some improvement to the rooms. It would also be nice to be provided with a do not disturb sign for the door to avoid being disturbed by the cleaning team when you showering etc. Also only on street parking available.
