Reception staff were good. A lot of pensioners and at weekend hotel was full of Portuguese and mainly Dutch tourists. Would stay there again as convenient ##### Andrew Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Sep 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hotel room was a good size with an extra large balcony. There is an option to have your room serviced every day, we found the hotel to be very clean. The beach is a couple of minutes away as is restaurants, cafes and bars. The pool area is fine and there was always sunbeds available. There was also a good choice for breakfast. ##### Thomas Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ugo Feb 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good ##### Ugo Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyle Oct 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We like this hotel. We visited this little touristy area during an off-season. The hotel is located near the beach and lots of eating and dining establishments. The hotel itself has very comfortable larger rooms and it included breakfast. Parking in an area just in front of the hotel is usually a paid area. However, while we were there, the parking meters were broken and all parking was free. since there were very few tourists in the area, we found no problem finding a place to park. This would probably be, a great spot for a family vacation. We found the hotel had a drying rack out each room on a balcony that was a real plus for a wet beach wear. ##### Lyle Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tuula Feb 18, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Exceptionally poor for a four-star hotel. The breakfast was institutional, served in a dark, low-ceilinged, noisy, and bleakly decorated space. The room was spacious and generally okay, but it had a laminate floor and a rotten bathroom door. Since we visited during the low season, street parking was free, and the hotel was relatively quiet at night, even though our room was right next to the entrance. The gym had no free weights and was very limited. The indoor pool was out of service. The saunas were small and cost €8 per person. If you want to enjoy your holiday, do not stay at this hotel. ##### Tuula Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bryce Nov 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Four nights in Monte Gordo. Great hotel in Monte Gordo, we had a fabulous stay in a wonderful town with amazing beach and very close to the Spanish border. Staff were grand, we had a very good buffet breakfast, main items to choose from. Very close to beach and shops. If needed there is a 2 1/2 mile walk to the border town of Vila Real de Santo Antonio along a straight road but the beach walk is glorious although twice the distance. Beach is just fantastic. Was a small fishing village before tourism and no natural harbour so the fishing boats are launched by tractor pushing them into the sea. Many eateries, cafes etc in the town. The bed we had was very comfy and the shower was so lovely , with power and heat. Also had a fridge in the room. Would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again. Cheers 😁😁 ##### bryce Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah Mar 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel isn’t 4 star, very dated, extra cost to use sauna, no beach towels available. Very noisy, woken up at 4/5am from next door and upstairs everyday. Clean and fine for a base. ##### Sarah Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark Mar 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The property itself was fine for the price. Excellent location, proximity to beach, restaurants, bars etc. walkable. Felt safe. The hotel room doors need something on them to stop them slamming. It seems no one on our floor noticed this and the slamming, inadvertently, im sure, contined til well past 1am. 😵‍💫 ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### C Jul 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness #### Parking is a problem Our main problem was the lack of parking, which was an important criteria for us when we booked. The receptionist just shrugged her shoulders we we pointed out that we booked a hotel with parking. The hotel’s car park only has 39 spaces and was full for our two day stay. We were put on a waiting list but never achieved a parking space. The nearby on street parking has a four hour maximum stay between 09.00-22.00 and the machine only takes coins. We were forced to get change and then keep returning to our vehicle every four hours which became restrictive of what we could do in a four hour window. ##### C Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ruth Jun 22, 2024 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the location by the beach and the close proximity of the hotel to Monte Gordo Station and Faro Airport. The restaurants and massage parlours along the beach were also top noch. Now to the bad, the hotel which in my view should definitely not be classed as a 4\* hotel for the following reasons: 1. Premium rooms to offer the choice of an upgrade 2. No kettle or Tea or Coffee making facilities 3. Limited to only 4x hot food options for breakfast (Egg, Sausage which didn't taste great, Baked Beans and Mushrooms) The cold continental options were cold the majority of the time 4. Only breakfast meals no lunch or dinner is served here in the hotel 5. No masseuse due to the lady being sick which is understandable but there should ALWAYS be back up staff 6. The prices for the steam from and sauna was ridiculous even when I mentioned it to the locals who live around there €8 for 15 minutes is ridiculous. Also the facilities hadn't even been turned out and meaning as a customer I would need to wait a few minutes for it to heat up before using it 7. Train transport wasn't very good and the prices in general for excursions were misleading because they didn't include pick up from the hotel. The majority were based in Albufeira or Olhão which were far on public transport (train and bus). The taxi option was quicker but extremely expensive. This is the first time I have travelled to a European country and had to figure out how to reach the starting points of an excursion. ##### Ruth Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margarida Aug 11, 2025 ##### Margarida Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LAERCIO C Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ótima estadia Tudo funcionou perfeitamente, ótima estadia ##### LAERCIO C Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ## 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](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 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)
