Professional Traveller Review
I stayed at this hotel for three nights in Vilamoura. I loved the accommodation and the lovely green areas to enjoy. The indoor swimming pool was great, the staff were super friendly. It was a lovely relaxing stay.
What I Loved
Cute little bungalow-style room with a terrace. Lovely green areas set around ponds and swimming pool. Lots of lovely trees and plants.
Pestana Vila Sol Golf & Resort Hotel Review
I stayed at this hotel in November. It was pretty quiet which meant that I was generally the only person at the indoor pool.
The restaurant and bar were nice places to relax and enjoy indoors too.
The Pestana Hotel Vila Sol is in a great location for exploring the Algarve too.
I really enjoyed the resort style of this hotel. It had low level accommodation with small bungalow style rooms set around lush gardens and a swimming pool. Very relaxing.
