September 2011 - Had another great holiday here .. .only two complaints, price of the drinks and the food in the pool bar was also expensive ..We are hoping to book again this year 2012 and again for September, but have been told that this Hotel has changed hands and will not open this year? Can anyone help in finding... More

This hotel is ideal for the beach but there are a good few steps down to it from the pool area. The rooms a quite good but basic and very clean. The pool area is tired but clean with lawned areas and no problem with sun beds etc but sadly the pool bar is hugely expensive so stock up at... More

My husband and I had 10 days here in September and had a fabulous time. This is our third stay here and we hadnt been for 8 years so were a bit apprehensive about any drastic changes having been made- we neednt have worried,any changes were subtle and sensitive to the hotel. Several staff members were still working at the... More

I stayed at this hotel in September/October 2011 and had a very good stay. As my sister and I were dropped off by the shuttle bus upon arrival, we felt pleasantly smug! This was due to the exclamation and comments from other passangers on the shuttle bus (who were not staying at the Levante) 'OMG!' exclaimed one; 'what a fantastic... More

I agree with batty51 The best location in Armacao. Built in the seventies it had prime choice of location. All rooms are on the ground or first floor (ie low rise) with good sized balconys and it matters nor whether you have a sea view or not as the large mature gardens are a delight. The staff all speak English... More

In fact just great for lounging by the pool with breaks to wander down to the beach and have a dip. Made it about a... More

The location and grounds of this hotel cannot be faulted but the inside is definately not 4* quality. The bedrooms are very dated and in desperate need of refurbishment. It is not a patch on the other 4* hotels in the immediate vacinity or it's sister hotel the Pestana Viking which is about one mile away. It advertises Wifi but... More

Our 3rd visit to this hotel which is in the best location on the cliff overlooking miles of sandy beach. Good breakfast, over priced evening meal not to our taste so try a local restaurant & enjoy two meals for the price of one at this hotel.Lovely gardens, good sized room, nice pool. Even better when the water features are... More

This hotel really is what you want to make of it. If you want a quiet hotel, superb views and good food then Pestana Levante is for you. However it is not for nit pickers. You can make a case that the hotel is probably due for a refurbishment and that the garden features at the back make it look... More
