Facilities
Like at all Golf Escapes holidays, you can expect:
The hotel features sea or garden view rooms with a spacious & stylish design. The rooms range from Standard Deluxe rooms to the Suites located on the hotels top floor giving an breath-taking view out to the ocean. Each room is equipped with a balcony with table and chairs, a contemporary bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, tv, and air conditioning.
What Golf Courses can I play when I am staying at The Pestana Viking?
The Pestana group are in partnership with a number of courses in the Algarve allowing guests to play a number of fabulous courses within a short transfer from the hotel.
You can dine at the hotel’s restaurant called Valhalla, this is a buffet style restaurant that also provides an á la carte menu that serves a number of different food options to cater to everyone. The hotel also features the Gallery Bar which provides live music and drinks to entertain guests long into the night. And if you get peckish or thirsty whilst enjoying the outdoor swimming pool then the Pool Bistro Bar can provide drinks or snacks throughout the whole day.
Are there restaurants and bars nearby?
If you want to venture away from the food and drink at the hotel, then you will find many local bars and restaurants located only a short walk or taxi journey from the hotel. If your looking for great food or tapas our recommendation would be Tasca 26 which is a 2 minute taxi journey or a 10 minute walk from the Pestana Viking.
Is there a spa at the hotel?
The Magic Spa which is situated at the hotel has 3 treatment rooms, an indoor & outdoor pool, a water circuit, jacuzzi, sauna, relaxation area and Turkish bath. This allows guest to rejuvenate and refresh during their stay.
What else can I do when staying here?
The hotels central location means the choices are plentiful for things to do outside of enjoying the hotel spa or local golf courses. Guests have Zoomarine as well as Slide & Splash water park less than 15 minutes away to provide an fun filled day out for all. Or why not go and explore the Senhora da Rocha Beach along with the unspoilt coved beaches located only a short walk from the hotel. And if you want to explore the ocean rather than the land then a number of local boat trips are available for a day out at sea.
Just returned from a 5 day golf break to Tavira, Portugal on Nick's recommendation. It was absolutely lovely. Stayed at Maria Nova Lounge hotel which was a real gem. Close to the lovely cobbled centre of Tavira for some wonderful restaurants and Portuguese charm, and only 15 minutes transfer to the 2 golf courses we played, Benamor and Quinta da Ria. We played each twice, and they offered different challenges but both thoroughly enjoyable. The staff at the hotel and at the courses, and the locals in Tavira were are very welcoming and pleased to help. The local area offers more than just golf and we hope to explore it a bit more because we plan to go back.

Have been very impressed by you and your team.
Have been very impressed by you and your team. I plan to contact you about a golfing break later this year with my partner Sarah (a great golfer...unfortunately!). I also had a brilliant, hilarious conversation with your colleague Chris earlier this week. Give her my regards.

Golf Escapes will be our first point of contact now for future holidays!
Just returned from 7 nights staying in the wonderful Maria Nova Lounge Hotel, Tavira, Portugal and playing 4 rounds of golf over the week. Everything that was arranged by golf escapes ran like clockwork, hotel is lovely, the transfers from airport/hotel/golf etc were absolutely spot on, always on time. The 2 golf courses we played were also very accommodating and both were in very good condition ( Quinta do vale & Castro Marim ) with excellent service in the clubhouse. The staff at the hotel were great and a lovely touch was leaving a bottle of sparkling wine in the bedroom for one of our party on their birthday which we hadn’t mentioned to any of the staff. First time we have used golf escapes but they will be our first point of contact now for future holidays, well done.

Thank you.
As always this was brilliantly organised by your team. A good time was enjoyed by all of us with probably a little too much beer and wine. Golf and weather was great!

None come even close to Golf Escapes for first class service
This is, I think, my 6th or 7th year of organising a golf trip and I have tried a few other companies...but none come even close to Golf Escapes for first class service, great advice and great prices. If I have ever had an issue, either before or during the trip, they have sorted it without fuss or delay. I once called them from the plane at the stand at Gatwick to tell them French ATC had just gone on strike and our departure was going to be delayed and we would miss our tee off time. Within 15 mins they had changed the tee off times and called me back to tell me not to worry (not easy when you had 20 people relying on you!). 10 mins later the pilot came on the tanoy to say we had clearance to go so I called GE back and they changed the slots back, no fuss, no drama. Top people. I won't go anywhere else.

All arrangements by Golf Escapes worked very well!
9 of us went to Cascais, hotel and courses (Estoril, Penha Longa, Oitavos Dunes and Belas) all decent/very good. That coast can be windy though! All arrangements by Golf Escapes worked very well including hire cars, which can be troublesome. Competitive price vs other well known golf tour companies.
