Lagoa Hotel Guide - Gramacho Pestana Golf hotels in Lagoa, Portugal.

"Excellent location! Amazing views! Great customer service! Everyone went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our stay! Beach, bars and restaurants within walking distance! Safe area for the entire family! "

"We had an excellent stay while on vacation in Carvoeiro. The location is perfect for walking to everything in town. The hotel is newly renovated in tasteful neutrals. Our room was comfortable with a lovely queen size bed and a/c and the beautiful pool was part of our daily routine. Outdoor seating area on the patio near the bar was perfect for evenings chatting with family and playing cards. Breakfast buffet was great, with many options. All the staff were welcoming and nice. Highly recommended!"

"Fantastic service from staff at time of check-in. Went above and beyond to get us set up with early check-in."

"Great staff and the main pool was the main attraction. We were a group of 20 people staying in a mix of 2 bed apartments. All the rooms were good, clean and had everything you needed. We didnt need to fight for loungera in the morning but most people were quite quick to place towels. Some of the pool area had tiles that could do we replacing and some of the bridges needed attention. The Cool Bar by the pool was great for drinks, ice creams etc. The breakfast was always good, attentive staff. They offered various eggs too but no sign to say that so found out by seeing other peoples food. The nearby town of Carvoiero was great to visit too. Easy to get around in cabs and Ubers."

"I wasn’t sure what to expect when booking Vale da Lapa Village, but it completely blew me away. The property is stunning, the villa was spacious and comfortable, and the service was warm and welcoming. Andre checked us in and provided all the details we needed to enjoy our stay. We booked the half-board option, not realizing it included both breakfast and dinner—what an amazing surprise! The food was delicious, and while service at the restaurant was on the slower side (possibly cultural differences), the staff was always friendly. We stayed in a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom villa, and it was perfect for our family of four—plenty of room to spread out. I only wish we had more time to relax and enjoy the property itself. The grounds were beautifully maintained, though I’d love to see some additional pathways through the center of the resort to make getting around easier. The beds were quite firm, which didn’t bother me but might not be for everyone. On our last day, we noticed a few ants around the kitchen sink—possibly due to pouring soda down the drain—but overall, the villa was very clean and well-kept. The metal shutters on all windows and patio doors were unexpected but seemed to help with security, light, and sound. A car or Uber is definitely needed to get around, but the peaceful setting made it all worth it. Out of the three places we stayed during our trip, this was hands-down the favorite for our whole family."

"They were so kind, one of the best places I’ve ever stayed."

"The villa was great to stay in , plenty of room and everything you could need . Our only complaint would be parking the car on the drive as it is next to a busy s bend . The pool did loose some tiles and the tiles had not been grouted but didnt stop us enjoying it . The beds where comfy which was a lovely surprise as some in Portugal are very hard . Toilet door needs a lock as blows open when you are not expecting it . Sadly we will not be returing due to the parking problem which is a shame . "

"The good:The property was really clean. Aircon worked great. Pool was fab. Location great. The ladies at Algarve Vacation were quick to respond to emails. Great automatic ice maker.The not so great: The remote control for the gates did not work and apparently Algarve Vacation knew about this as they have had a number of complaints. I asked why they didn't tell us as this would have resulted in a less stressful arrival at midnight but received no explanation. The hire car had to therefore stay all week on a nearby street rather than the private driveway. The house definitely needs some tlc. The front door is very stiff so the first time you try to open it you think the key doesn't work. Eventually you just get used to shouldering it open. There are screen doors at the back without screens allowing flies in the house. The outdoor dining area needs a new cover over the roof as there were lots of holes, some quite large and unsightly.I don't mind sitting on rattan chairs without cushions but a cushionless rattan sofa is simply not acceptable and in no way useable. The layout in the living room/dining room is odd with the TV beside the dining table rather than the sofa and considering the villa sleeps 6 (or perhaps more) the sofa only seats 3. You'll get a crick in your neck from watching TV from the sofa. There is no welcome information so we had no idea where to take rubbish or when the pool and garden guys would appear without warning, no local recommendations etc."

"Very nice hotel and the staff were all very nice and helpful."
