We booked to stay in a Villa in Ponta Grande Resort through Owners Direct (property ref P8527) but when we arrived at the resort the Villa that we were staying in was completely different to the one advertised on Owners Direct. Rather than being the 4* Villa we booked we were staying in a very basic Villa without half the... More

First the pluses. Large pool, well kept grounds, staff quite helpful, maid service very good. Good bars across road and nice restaurants in walking distance. Bus stop including stop for Algarve tour bus nearby. Great beaches especially Coehla (Rabbit ) and Castelo a short walk. The Negatives, Villas in dire need of a makeover every item of furniture and electrical... More

We were a party of five four adults one child we stayed from the 13th- 27th July we feel that the Ponta Grande resort does not deserve its 4* rating the villa was spacious and had a good air conditioning system the pool area was adequate and grounds were well maintained however the interior fittings were of a poor standard...

Near restaurants and nice beach but not too far from town either. Helpful reception staff. Restaurant nonexistent however and bar poor at night, closing early and understaffed. All... More

Pool area is lovely, very clean with pool attendant cleaning pool on a regular basis,... More

Accommodation is fantastic, location ideal for those who do not want to be in the middle of lively night scene... More

Hi all, i just thought that i would leave my opinions on Ponta Grande. I went with my wife and 3 year old for our second visit there in May. In a nut shell, We love it! Its biggest plus for us is the quiet location and the safety aspect for our child. We found that it felt like a... More

This place is a mixed bag but mostly I would say it does not deliver. Very understaffed and no real customer service. It is quite remote from the main action in Old Town or the strip so u definetly need transport. God forbid you would ask them to to book u a taxi...if i hear 'none avaialble' one more time!!!...
