Stayed here for two nights in a garden bungalow room. as part of a long weekend break. We enjoyed the thermal bathes which are situated just a few steps away from the hotel . The gardens and pool area were very relaxed and pretty . There is a nice bar on the site which closes at six which seems a bit strange. Maybe it’s because we’re out of season ? But was a lovely spot for a beer. The breakfast was good with lots of choice.. we did have one issue which the manager sorted very professionally and quickly which we were grateful for. Really lovely place very happy . ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1359CD652D62B15087D806FB030439A5399822621683034105902.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### gregg Feb 17, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Terrible beds, worse food. Hotel is understaffed and the staff they have are mostly rude. The food is an absolute train wreck of grease. Turkish sauna was broken. The "thermal" water is not hot, but luke warmish. Locker room was disgusting. The property is beautiful and being wasted by imcompetent management. Stay elsewhere, eat in Monchique and stop by for a walk around the property. ##### gregg Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### STEVE Sep 19, 2022 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Bad service in a old and unrenovated hotel Old thermal hotel that need a real renovation in its concept and specially with their local staff that were for 2 days exceptionally and surprisingly unfriendly for Portugal . Rooms are ok , clean and average food mattress . Food is really poor in terms of quality , healthy and creativity . Low cost food !! The infrastructure is old and the maintenance is just made on surface ! Very bad service from the host at the Spa ( Ann) , unfriendly, rude and unpleasant . She made me decide to leave the place on the spot ! Staff of the restaurant t at breakfast we’re not friendly too : pleas Make a change and hire new and young staff ( I did have still some good attendance the night I arrived from the Brazilian staff working there ) . The source and fabric of the Monchique water was definitely not making me dreaming , big disappointment considering I love this water and it’s very healthy. In conclusion : I will not come anymore and can not recommend to anyone to stay there . ##### STEVE Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### richard Jul 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Short break on journey through Portugal We decided to stay in the countryside for one night away from the busy coast. The Hotel is in a lovely natural park setting and has a pretty courtyard and a good size pool with sunbeds in a grassy garden. There is also a bar , restaurant and two shops onsite. Checking in was easy and professional and the room a good size and clean. As this was a night to just chill, after using the pool area which was clean and in good condition for the afternoon, we decided to eat at the restaurant. It was not busy, the service was ok for drinks, although not all on the menu were available. Similar story with food, although a shortish menu, not all available. After a 20-30 minute wait, the food arrived and mine was very nice as was the wine we had, unfortunately my wife's food came out cold, so it had to be sent back, we were told it would be re-done, but after another 20 minutes it had not come back. After more chasing it still did not arrive so we ended p cancelling that meal, very disappointed. The staff did apologise, and we were not charged for the wine and the 1 meal we got, so that was a good attempt to recover the situation. The Breakfast had no similar problems and was good, with a limited but good choice. We would stay again but might eat in the nearby village ##### richard Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen Sep 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service We stayed for four nights in a Prestige room, located in building number 3. We had a lovely large room overlooking the resorts' tree bounded square, charming in its simplicity and very quiet. The pool and gardens were lovely, with plenty of sunbeds available. Pool towels were readily available at the hotel reception. The staff on reception and restaurant were pleasant but did not make any effort to enhance our experience. No tourist information and little no local knowledge. We did not dine at the hotel restaurant, but did have our breakfast every day. The food served at breakfast was varied, well presented and plentiful. However, we felt the breakfast service was understaffed and consequently they were under such pressure to deliver breakfast that the experience was spoiled for the hotel customers. On one day only one person was available to both restock the breakfast and clear/reset tables, the tables did not get cleared!! ##### Stephen Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paolo Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Struttura un po' datata, camere molto spaziose e ben pulite, ma che mostrano tutti i loro anni. Buona colazione con ampia scelta. Personale nel complesso disponibile. ##### Paolo Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ian Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good holiday Reception was adequate. Lift was out of order. Fridge in room was broken but housekeeping sorted a new one for us. Telephone in room didn't work. Shower screen had been removed so having a shower soaked the floor. Overall, the room was good with much needed a/c. Breakfasts were the highlight - excellent fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, toast and pastries, coffee and fruit juice. Didn't eat at the restaurant as it seemed too quiet and a bit over-priced. The "village" is delightful with a couple of shops, a bar, a huge outside seating area and a pathway up to the water spring. The swimming pool and surrounding area was OK but it was dominated by guests from the spa who were constantly chatting loudly on their mobiles and taking hundreds of selfies. Parking was easy - we parked (free) every day just outside the hotel. A great place to stay for a week so long as you have a car. No good for people who have mobility issues. ##### Ian Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness #### Never revisit a hotel you loved! We visited this hotel a few years ago and sadly it has lost a lot of its ‘feel’. Then, there was a very traditional and beautiful bar, which is now modern and could be in any location/country. Reception is now quite isolated from guests so you don’t enjoy any interaction with staff as you come and go. In general the hotel room was clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was good and not overly expensive but overall it’s just missing that something extra to make you want to go back - apart from the location in the beautiful Monchique! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudio Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent and quite place ##### Claudio Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lukas May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Ruhige Gegend, schön gelegen.

A estadia foi excelente, o quarto era muito confortável, com uma pequena varanda (havia um barulho do motor que incomodava muito), banheiro limpo, bons amenities. Café da manhã muito bom e serviço também de qualidade. Infelizmente o spa estava fechado para reformas, mas fomos avisados antes e mesmo assim, aceitamos a reserva. Recomendo este hotel, e com certeza voltarei. ##### HELCIO Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucile Dec 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hôtel charmant Cadre magnifique Très bien Chambre très confortable ##### Lucile Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter Oct 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful location and great staff We were on a house hunting trip - Beautiful location, gorgeous hotel, fantastic staff.

The buffet dinner and breakfast were great, and we had a jazz pianist over dinner which was awesome. We walked down to the thermal pools €20pp extra, and they looked very uninviting, so we swam in the outdoor pool. I would not recommend and wouldn’t go again ##### Gary Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Hotel.h4071.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagos Avenida Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Lagos-Avenida-Hotel.h19333855.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Velamar Boutique Hotel - Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Velamar-Boutique-Hotel.h2928512.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [VidaMar Resort Hotel Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-VidaMar-Resort-Hotel-Algarve.h5670748.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Santo Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Monte-Santo-Resort.h2135874.Hotel-Information) > > [São Rafael Holidays](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Sao-Rafael-Villas.h8516728.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Lagos Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Lagos.h2543952.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina Club Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Marina-Club-Suite-Hotel.h1489839.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Blue Ocean](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Blue-Ocean.h14861176.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Algarve Hotel - Beach & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Jupiter-Algarve-Hotel.h1133428.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta Pedra dos Bicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Quinta-Pedra-Dos-Bicos.h1200216.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Marina Portimao Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Portimao.h976931.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Apartamento Brisa Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-Apartamento-Brisa-Sol.h2335413.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > > [Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sagres-Hotels-Martinhal-Sagres-Beach-Family-Resort.h3091253.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Pedro Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Dom-Pedro-Lagos.h1382394.Hotel-Information) > > [EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-EPIC-SANA-Algarve-Hotel.h5995034.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Clube Praia da Oura](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Muthu-Clube-Praia-Da-Oura.h1182280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Algarve Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-Hotel-Algarve-Casino.h6468.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Atlântico Algarve by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Kimpton-Atlantico-Algarve.h3036868.Hotel-Information) > > [W Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-W-Algarve.h73757170.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Cerro Alagoa Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Cerro-Alagoa-Hotel.h891218.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Lagos](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Tivoli-Lagos.h876691.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Petra](https://www.expedia.ca/Albufeira-Hotels-Vila-Petra.h1100476.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Oriental Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Portimao-Hotels-AP-Oriental-Beach.h912470.Hotel-Information) > > [Cascade Wellness Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-Cascade-Wellness-Resort.h4018224.Hotel-Information)
