Fodor's Expert Review Pestana Viking

Praia Nossa Senhora da Rocha, Porches, Faro, 8400-450, Portugal

About 1 km (½ mile) west of town, the Viking stands on a promontory directly above a lovely beach. Its manicured grounds are studded with palm trees and include several massive swimming pools (one just for children) and a lawn with lounge chairs where you can enjoy the view. All rooms include balconies, though only some look out to sea.
