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 😁😁

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.

Convenient location a short walk from the beach. Plenty of food options within walking distance and close to a regular small grocery and pharmacy for supplies if needed. The gym at the hotel was passable, not much options, and the pool was at the front of the property (due to location of where the sun sets, I'm assuming). Staff were generally friendly. We were quoted €70 for a taxi to the airport but used Uber and it was €38.

It was ok. Breakfast, very average and they do not provide individual salt, pepper or condiments. They leave empty bottles of olive oil. Food just poured into unheated basins with cold canned sausages beans and mushrooms. We were there just for coffe as no coffee in rooms. a tea kettle was provided with tea cups, and tea. Walk to beach about 600 metres no view, Balcony had a drying rack for beach towels, a deck table and facing the pool next unit had smokers so we stayed indoors. They did provide me with plates, wine glasses and cutlery but had to ask for it at front desk.

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.
