Pestana Dom Joao II,
Alvor, Algarve, Portugal |
 |
|
The Dom Joao II hotel, set in extensive gardens, sits 50 yards from one of the prettiest beaches in the Algarve (Alvor).
All the rooms, restaurants and bar areas were refurbished in early 2008 in modern style and the hotel now offers superb accommodation at fantastic value prices. Undoubtedly, the major attraction is the fantastic golf offer available on the five Pestana courses: Vila Sol - Pinta - Gramacho - Silves - Alto for all guests, which are between 5 and 25 minutes drive away other than the Vila Sol which will take about 45 minutes. Airport and course transfers are also available for parties of up to 8 golfers instead of car hire. |
