The property is very nice, the pool is superb however they close it very early at 7 pm but I understand they may want to prevent noise for the tenants facing the pool. The staff in general was nice, but a few were a little annoyed by questions. You need a car I will not walk outside the property since it is a main road. They offer a shuttle to the Alvor beach ( it is a public beach) you can inquire if they offer other stops, I am sure Uber works fine too. If dinning in the property make sure to reserve in advance. Our room on the 4th floor was far from the elevator, easier to take the stairs, however our view was breathtaking looking at the golf course, pool, and far town (back of the property) it had a semi second level with a desk and balcony very nice room layout for two. The buffet breakfast was also very nice with a good selection. It was definitely a beautiful stay but I didn’t expect it to be so uptight. Close to Silves and Lagos. It is conveniently located to explore other areas.

Our 2 night stay at the Penina was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Every member of the team were so friendly and welcoming. The room was spotlessly clean, the grounds and facilities at the pool were wonderful. The food in the Henry Cotton restaurant was excellent. We played tennis and the golf course was amazing and excellent value. We would definitely recommend and we are already planning to return to the Penina next year. Thank you Penina for a wonderful stay.

We had 3 nights at Penina after a week in Vilamoura. We arrived at 1.30pm and were able to check in and use the facilities straightaway. We had a mountain facing room which was fine for a short stay. The buffet restaurant was disappointing - the Mexican food was very bland. The Italian restaurant wasn’t much better, the scallops hadn’t been seared, neither had the skin on the sea bass. The Grill restaurant was much better, with excellent service and significantly better food. The food at the Henry Cotton restaurant was good but overpriced for what was provided. Disappointingly the beach club was not open - on the website says open April to October, but clearly this is variable! The golf service is very efficient. We only played the resort course, but had no problems playing when we wanted. Although check out is by midday, we were able to play golf and use the facilities in the locker room afterwards, so we didn’t leave until 4.30 pm. Generally a comfortable hotel although a little dated. It was quite windy whilst we were there, so an indoor pool would be nice.

Penina Hotel is lovely and the staff are fabulous. It might be a little tired but as one guest said to me in the lift - she’s a grand old lady - maybe a little tired, but she gets the job done.

I’ve been to Penina for 20 plus years and love the place but it needs some serious money spent on the hotel and golf course. Each year it deteriorates a bit more this includes the staffs as well as the hotel and golf course. I will return but not play golf there until they get the course in better shape

We had a wonderful stay at the majestic Hotel Penina over Christmas, New Year's Eve and the first days of the new year 2023. We were very satisfied and would especially like to highlight the excellent breakfast and the friendly courtesy of the staff. No wish remained unfulfilled. The coastal landscape of the Algarve and the beaches between Armação de Pêra, Portimao, Alvor and Lagos are picturesquely beautiful.

Whilst slightly dated the hotel and staff have a unique and very special charm. You can sense the unique history and how it was the place for the jet set in the late 60s'. Have returned many times for exactly that reason. Also the best hotel pool I have experienced and magnificent grounds.

Lovely hotel for golf relaxation and dinner. The two golf courses are superb, the hotel has a lovely calming and relaxing feel but is dated and lacks a bit of style. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The main restaurant dinner is a la carte and the food is of a very high standard. Buffet breakfast has lots of choice of hot and cold food, nespresso coffee machines in rooms and breakfast buffet. Fantastic location and grounds. Only a short taxi ride into town or a hotel courtesy bus to the beach. Highly recommend 😀

We booked this hotel because it looked great but mainly because of the all inclusive kids club for my 7 year old son. Hugo and all of the staff and activities at the kids club were fantastic.Plenty of activities for the kids and a few family activities too which were great. I particularly loved family football, morning yoga and my son happily playing in the kids club so we could read a book and have a swim in peace. The kids club have a wrist band system that was perfect for us. One band meant my son couldnt leave without us signing him out and one band on the days when we were close by and he could leave by himself and come to find us. The hotel was wonderful - location, room, staff were all great. The holiday was so relaxing. We have never done this before but are booking to go back again next summer. Thank you to you all.

A lovely hotel,beautiful setting,with very helpful dedicated staff,and a special mention to Carlos and Pedro ! Good size rooms, great pool, breakfasts,and facilities in general. Quiet location, well away from centers but free bus to the beach. You really need a car if you want to get about the area. Couldn't comment on the golf.The food was well outside our price range at the hotel restaurants,so we eat mainly in Alvor -a 10 minutes drive away.
