We absolutely loved our stay at Pestana Tropico. The best thing about the hotel is the feeling of being in a family hotel, with staff who are attentive to detail. I would like to thank the staff at the reception, at the bar, restaurant, and the staff cleaning the rooms - they were absolutely lovely and very helpful! Great hotel!

Jó elhelyezkedés, szép medence, nagy szobák, jó reggeli, ingyenes, kényelmes parkoló. Kicsit régebbi a szálloda, a fürdőszobában is voltak már a korból fakadó kisebb problémák, de alapvetően jó a szálloda és jó választás néhány éjszakára Praián.

It was an OK stay. The staff was pleasant, the rooms are large, but window area cleanliness was not perfect when I arrived. It's a very nice hotel for a one to two-day tourism stay. I stayed for a week on a business trip. Breakfast did not have a lot of variety. Not sure I'll stay there again next time I am in town.

Slidt hotel og personale.

Købt som værelse med balkon og havudsigt. Vi delte opgang med 3 andre værelser, der alle skulle “gennem” vores balkon når de skulle ned til poolen. Havudsigt var der, når man strakte sig på balkonen… Det hele godt slidt, rengøring tålelig, uden at være prangende. Dog var det værste, den manglende entusiasme hos personalet, ingen smil, nærmest til ulempe i baren. Bedste beskrivelse er vel triste mennesker 😳. Lidt ærgerligt når man holder ferie. Endelig var der alt for mange larmende børn på hotellet
