Pestana Hotel Vila Sol 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.

Getting Around
The hotel is to the North of Vilamoura. It is possible to walk around the local area which is mainly accommodation and resorts.
There are a few small shops.
A car is probably the best option for getting around. There is plenty of free parking at the hotel.
The hotel is also close to the main coastal road and the A22 motorway which runs East/West along the Algarve.

The gardens are lovely and filled with tropical-type plants including palm trees.
Water features dot the gardens and my room looked over a pond with a waterfall and palm trees.
There was also a restaurant in the main building that did evening meals. This has a nice terrace area that looked over another water feature outside.
As it was November the outdoor pool wasn’t in use but the weather was still warm and pleasant. It was nice enough to sit outside in the evening – although that might just apply to those of us from the Highlands as I was the only person doing so!
