I truly enjoyed my time at Pestana Garden Village. The staff were incredibly attentive and always ready to help, which made my experience phenomenal. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. However, there was a minor issue with the balcony not receiving much sunlight. Dining options were delicious, especially the breakfast, but I wished there were more local specialties included. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the nearby attractions and the beautiful gardens added to the overall charm of the place.

Our stay at Pestana Miramar Village Garden and Ocean Resort was mixed. While the beautiful gardens and welcoming layout of the smaller buildings made for a charming environment, the dining experience fell short, with chaotic meal service and an unappetizing buffet. Despite these downsides, the assistance from the staff was commendable, showcasing their friendliness and helpfulness. It felt like the hotel has the potential for greatness but needs some improvements in service and dining quality.
