Review by hotel critic
My recent stay at Pestana provided a mixed bag of experiences. The tranquil environment and close proximity to the beach were perfect for unwinding. The Magic Spa treatments offered a soothing escape; however, the spa services could benefit from an upgrade to match the promised luxury standards. The indoor swimming pool was a nice retreat, but the cold water diminished the relaxation factor.Exploring the wellness area with a Jacuzzi and Turkish bath was a highlight, complemented by the serene garden surroundings. The spa's selection of massages and body exfoliation treatments promised rejuvenation, but the execution fell slightly short of expectations.The presence of a business desk and conference room is convenient for those mixing work with leisure. My stay was peaceful, accentuated by the lovely sea view room upgrade and the thoughtful birthday gesture. Pestana's potential shines through, awaiting a touch of refinement to truly elevate the guest experience.
