Monte Gordo Hotels

The hotel is nearby the beach and just away from the main tourist area.

The hotel needs some heavy refurbished. The food is basic.

Food was terribles for all inclusive the dinning room was like they were feeding starving people no class what so ever. Rooms old style loud and air units were a joke. location good and thank god for that.

food was terrible for all inclusive. The dinning room was like they were feeding starving people. No class whats so ever. if you want a heart attack eat there. Outside my room was the bins and each morning at 5am they were collected it was so so loud went on for 30 mins. air conditioning unit did not work. . Not happy

The hotel was fine, clean and well located. We were on the 15th floor and the wind was very strong. I am not fond of being up so high especially in the wind. Otherwise all was great.

We needed a one night stay in accomodation that would accept pets. This turned out to be an excellent choice.

I thought the decor in the hotel was very unique and unusual and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful

Perhaps the lack of a spa

The spacious room with balcony and the fact it was only a short walk from both shops and beach.

The resort is located in one of the few unspoiled areas of the Algarve, in an environment protected area, far from the main centers. The access to the beach is direct, although the hotel beach is on the ria and not in the sea. One shall cross the ria during the low tide. The sea beach is one of the best kept secrets of Algarve: almost desert, sandy, long, and with warm waters.

The resort is a German ‘island’ in the Algarve, as it is conceived specifically for these clients. However, it is very family friendly and pleasant hotel.

Cenral to facilities of Monte Gordo

Very large hotel in an excellent beach front position. Large comfortable bedrooms

Friendliness of the hotel staff. Good location.

Difficult access to some of the hotel premises for senior and handicapped guests.

The pool area and crazy golf, access to the beach, the food was very good with a large variety. The staff in the bar by the pool very helpful as allthe other staff were and worked very hard and long hours especially on the sunday for the Hotels 50th Anniversary which we attended after the football match. Would like to come back in the near future.

Arrived at the hotel just before 11am, nowing that our triple room would not be ready until 2pm. Checked at 2pm told to come back at 2.30pm, went back told 3pm. Other people in our party who had booked triple rooms had theirs at 2pm. In the end we had to wait until 3.30pm. The beds could be a little softer.

Hotel adjacent to beautiful beach. Very tranquil surroundings

In my opinion it does not justify its 4 Star Rating it needs refurbishing.

Fantastic location, very helpful staff wonderful stay would return

No

nice quiet place to stay , given the required privacy.Great safe parking.Wonderful helpful staff.lovely bathrooms /other rooms

none

Close to Monte Gordo and to Vila Real De Santo António. Clean and large room, with air conditioner. Parking place. Friendly staff. Good cost-benefit ratio. Breakfast was included (it was simple but quite good).

It's not in the center of the village nor in front to the beach (but it's quite close, though - 5 minutes by car).

Clean, Staff very helpful. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Hotel ideally situated in quiet location not very far from beach. This was my third stay!

The coffee at breakfast!!

A comfortable apartment which was well mantained and within easy reach of the beach.

Nothing

Quite close to the beach (even my 2yr daughter didn't complain the walking distance), quiet since the room was opposite to the main street (quiet this time of the year though). The T2 apartement was big enough, big bed in the larger bedroom (not 2 individual beds) and we just had to leave the living room to the balcony (spatious too) to find the swimming pool. Good value for money (107EUR/night).

Not many shelves to store goods in the "kitchen" (on one side of the living room....big enough though); bathroom a bit smely; RTP1 tv signal noisy (no antenna on the TV....broken ?!); hot water "time limited" (thermoaccumulator); swimming pool minimum depth is 1m and short lasting so <5yr kids will find scary.

It was in a very nice, intimate resort town with plenty of amenties without all the big high rise resorts. Although not right on the beach, it's proximity was great.

The receptionists were not very helpful or informed. We were required to pay upfront for all nights so we needed touse credit cards rather than pay cash, which is our preference given foreign currency fees on the creidt cards.

The hotel is in the hearth of the village, no car is needed. Perfect location for family with kids wanting to go to the beach.

convenience,Comfort,Courtesy and location.

central to all amenities

uncomfortable beds, very basic breakfast

The reception staff were very helpful and informative, the pool though small was great for relaxing in. Would happily stay in this hotel again.

The barman had a very poor attitude.

The proximity to the ocean was exactly what we were looking for. Very enjoyable stay. Thank you for the complimentary bottle of champagne.

the weather

location & swimming pool

great central location, plenty of parking. good wifi link

air conditioning did not work correctly -we complained 3 times over 8 days but never fixed

The beautiful view.

nothing

Too isolated the village is dead. If you stay rent a car and drive to Albufeira, but it's better you stay closer to Faro and drive from there as there are plenty better choices for the money.

Internet fees are absurd 2 Euro for 30 minutes 20 Euro for 24 hours

a pleasant, relaxing, peaceful stay

lack of tv channels in English, other than the news

Fine relaxing rest! Pleasant design, spacious rooms, compact kitchen with bosch technics. a place - remarkable, in pine wood. The hotel location is one of the most beautiful places in Algarve.

Is absent accessible wi-fi. Connection to the Internet only by means of a cable.

Nice clean chamber, nice toiletroom and big balcony. Airco was very nice.

The people in the hotel didn't speak english, very anoying.

It's near the landing stage to reach Spain and not so far by the centre.

I advised I could be arrived around 2 p.m. but my room wasn't ready; after a wait of twenty minutes they assign me a room where floor was just cleaned and you was able to see a lot of hairs on the wet floor. Hairs that I met also in my bed. Beakfast was very poor and no so tasty, meagre quality of food and what is more you have to walk for 500 metres to arrive in the restaurant in which breakfast is served. Location is very awkward, along a dark street frequented by stray dogs.

The room was very large, and the bathroom was enormous. It was a grea value for my 2 friends and I. It also was about a block away from the beach. Also the next morning we had a lovely breakfast with hard boiled eggs, bacon, cheese, and baguettes. Quaint, but nice!

No complaints!

Very good breakfast

My room had a strong scent of smoke, which is highly unpleasant. Plus, there was no blanket on the wardrobe, and it could have been very useful, since it's winter.

Ideal "respectable" central location. Very close to supermarket, restaurants, shops and ferry for Spain. New furnishing and bathroom fittings (June 2010). Rua D.Pedro v is the street opposite the post office.

Breakfasts are taken in a nearby restaurant.
