Boa opção à beira mar !
Pros:

Simpatia dos funcionários, em especial da Inês, que nos deu “up grade” de quarto, com linda vista das piscinas e do mar.
Espumante de boas vindas. Disponibilidade de bons produtos sem glúten e sem lactose, ótimo pequeno almoço!
Quarto confortável e silencioso.
Estacionamento.

Cons:

A limpeza do quarto e a qualidade dos travesseiros poderiam ser melhores.
Não disponibilizar café expresso no pequeno-almoço (apenas de garrafa térmica), e máquina de café no quarto.
É necessário ajustar a localização do hotel no Google Maps, pois manda para o lado oposto.

Fantastic hotel. Highly recommend.
Pros:

We loved everything. It's location was perfect. The rooms, dining room, pool area all were immaculate. The variety and quality of the breakfast was amazing. The hotel is located right on the beach with miles of boardwalks leading right from the hotel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

There's nothing we didn't like only when we had to leave!

Excellent short stay
Pros:

We stayed for three nights at this excellent suite hotel. Our spacious room was on the ground floor with views towards the ocean.

Breakfast was an extensive self service buffet providing something for everyone. We enjoyed sitting outside overlooking the pool watching the beautiful birds overhead.

Reception staff in the main were friendly and helpful. Although we were taken aback when we asked a junior member of the reception staff for directions to a well known beach front restaurant to be told, she didn’t live in Alvor, so could not help us.

Would we stay at the Pestana South Beach again, yes.

Pros:

Tolle Lage am Strand, Erwartung war 4 Stern, kein Luxushotel, diese Erwartungen wurden voll erfüllt. Da Nebensaison nicht ganz voll, eher ältere Kunden. Daher ruhig und entspannend. Könnte mir vorstellen, dass im Sommer bei Vollbelegung es eng und lebhaft wird.
Frühstück war für diese Klasse sehr gut, nicht zu vergleichen mit Luxusklasse, aber alles gut. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Amazing and relaxing getaway
Pros:

Amazing hotel with amazing sea views. 50 meters from the beach. You can choose if you want to lay by the sea or the 4 pools they have.

Nearby caves, grottos right at the beach. Only a 15 min walk from restaurants by the pier.

Breakfast is amazing well served. Staff was friendly no worries about that. Asked to be accommodated earlier than regular check in and no issues with that. Will definitely come back. ❤️
