Very good
Room very comfortable. Staff very friendly. Highlight was the breakfast. Not only great quality food but they had gone to great lengths to ensure it was covid- safe. Excellent
TV remote control didn't work properly. I reported it but it could not be fixed
Superb
Friendly staff with excellent command of English. All facilities and room extremely clean; extreme attention to COVID regulations throughout. Will use again on next trip.
While the breakfast buffet was extensive, we found the taste and quality generally substandard.
Very nice hotel and good...
It was a very short stay, arriving late at night and leaving after breakfast the next morning but everything was fine.
No negatives
Superb
Almost everything was perfect...
The only complaint I have is the smell coming out of the sink hole and shower hole at night and in the morning was absolutely nauseating... even if it’s a problem with the sewer system you guys have to find a way to fix it, I can assure you I almost threw up in the morning.... other than that it was perfect....
Good choice if you're staying...
This is one of the best choices if you're staying in Monte Gordo. Very good breakfast, the rooms are very comfortable and were recently refurbished. The staff are ready to help and do their best to accomodate your requests.
Nothing much to say here. Generally speaking, the stay was very pleasant, I would maybe point out that the price of the Spa services are a bit on the expensive side. Also, the access to the gym could be included in the room fare.
Nice stay
Nice ambiance, decoration and cleanliness. Very comfy room.
Staff could be more cheerful. They were thoughtful but could be nicer.
Superb
Good location, excellent room with balcony, very good breakfast, dilligent staff, nice outdoor space to chill out among pine trees close to the pool. Among the best in Monte Gordo.
Very good
l wuld like more copration from Alcazar and flexcibilet wen us guess request for any .
Good
Location of the hotel is good. The bedroom was nice, clean and new finishes. The room had a nice terrace. The swimming pool and gardens were excellent.
The breakfast was poor. The public areas are old and dated
Extended our stay
The staff was well trained to manage the hotel during this pandemic in an efficient, safe and friendly way. We specially likely the swimming pool area with the pine trees and the fact that the pool staff were constantly clean the long chairs. My kids loved it. The breakfast was quite reasonable given the circumstances. We liked our first week so much that we ended up extending our a stay by a further week and a half!!! I was working remotely whilst the family carried on their holidays.
Whilst the room was great, it lacked hanging space given that it was a family room. But the refurbishing was very good.
The room was clean and modern. Nice size balcony. Breakfast was good. The staff were all pleasant. Parking at €7.50 a day was reasonable. 10 minute walk to the beach. I would stay here again the next time I’m in Monte Gordo.
Nothing
Clean and simple and quiet. The outdoor surroundings the pool and relaxation areas. The room was a double and had balcony and sea view very relaxing. No noise from the streets.
There was one employee from the breakfast section, that was rude and unpleasant on our last breakfast day, we arrived 10minutes before closure which seemed to annoy them.. first time ever I experience such a thing on a hotel... I made official complaint on complaint book as staff should not address clients these way. Just made us want to leave and I left with a bad impression. The remaining staff overall was ok.
Everything about the hotel was perfect. From the reception to the check-out, could find no faults.
Because of the Covid-19 it was very strange environment, having to take turns in the morning for breakfast and the strict hygiene conditions needed to ensure everyone was safe. Ever
Breakfast was excellent well presented and plenty of it bar service very good with efficient staff and very pleasant reception staff
Living in Portimao would have been nice to watch Portimonense win at football ( Joking) but they lost seriously a longer stay but due to family work commitments 4 night's was all we could manage
large room. choice of pillows. bicycle hire. only short walk to the beach
breakfast room was a bit cramped - lots of people - tables very close to each other. a little bit old fashioned
There was nothing to not like
Nothing
The bed was super comfortable and room very spacious. We also appreciated the restaurants buffet.
The hydromassage in the bathtub didnt work and the room was very cold when we entered. There are only two small lifts in the hotel so since we were on the sixth floor it took a long time to get into one, we waited too long during the breakfast time to get down so we had to go by the stairs.
The view out of room
Arrived day 1 to an awful smell from the shower we didn't use the shower due to smell. Repoeted to receptionist who did nothing. Went down the next morning to report again and this time the same lady actually took action. She agreed the smell was unacceptable and after 1 night of paying full rate for a smelly room we were moved. At checkout (we left a day early) i challenged the cost of the first night due to unacceptable standard. Guy at reception said he couldn't help as he wasnt there but his boss would email me. 2 days later still no email.

Never went in the Restaurant near the beach but the food in the hotel was excellent
Position , cocktails were amazing,
Neighbours in the next room . Extremely noisy , arguing into early hours , but the property has no control over inconsiderate people
We stayed there for 12 days. This is a good hotel, especially for people over 60 y.o. When we stayed there about 90% of guests were in theirs 60's and 70's. - a room was clean and spacious - ocean’s view on was very nice - breakfast has a good choice of food - close to a beach (4 mins walk) - close to small shops and restaurants (3 mins walk) - service at a reception desk was helpful and professional - there was no problem with changing our booking - nice fitness room (nearly nobody used it)
Overall my feeling is that this should be 2-3 stars hotel (not 4 stars). In details: - restaurant is closed in middle of the day. we tried to take a dinner 3 times and it was always closed. Fortunetelly there is a very nice restaurant in a hotel next to ours which is always oppened and is very nice - we booked a double bed room, but we got 2 single beds. all renewed rooms have single beds - nobody except pigeons used swimming pool outside - I did not feel confortable with people that stayed at this hotel - Spa is old and relativelly small (paid extra 15 Euros per enterance). In the spa there is an indoor swimming pool which is nice as far as you do not look on old concrete ceiling. There are 2 saunas which are good, but nothing close to a standard of 4-5 stars hotels I visited before. There is also an ice well which I liked a lot. Spa massages are good. - breakfast is nearly the same everyday. There are changes in sussages and cakes everyday. There is no warm food except tosts, omlets and susages. Breakfast finishes at 10.00 am - in our room there were ants, which is a kind of strange because the room was on 5th floor - you cannot order any tea/coffee neither any food to your room. there is no electric kettle in a room, but there was a fridge
Pool and Garden area is very good.
Hotel is a bit dated and with only a part of the hotel being refurbished. Little information provided about the facilities and not an welcoming experience.
Room was lovely. Exterior pool.
Breakfast, it had many different things available but food could be much better.
The spa
The food
Lovely hotel great service and great staff
The breakfast, room, and parking.
The reception hall is ugly
Very friendly staff & it was very clean
Would have liked a mirror in the bedroom the light was dim in the area where mirror was , not much room for hanging cloths either, but I would stay there again .
Beautifully appointed hotel, professional courteous staff. A short walk to the beach. Enclosed paid car within the hotel grounds . Seriously good gym and spa.
Nothing
The exterior parte if the hotel, pool area
My room was quite old, although great terrace. Interior of the hotel needs renovations. Big breakfast, but no alternative milk options exposed
Nice breakfast buffet. Ocean view from our balcony. Entertainment every night.
Parking can be problematic as there is not enough space in the hotel’s parking lot. Street parking can be difficult.
Loved the hotel-excellent for families and the service was brilliant! We loved the cleanliness of the room and the fab pool area. Incredibly family friendly and perfect location to the beach. Super room and really friendly staff. The breakfast was excellent loads of variety/-fresh fruits, pancakes, and even little cakes!
Would be good if gym and spa was included in the price as we didn’t end up using the spa and only used the gym once as didn’t seem worth spending the extra money on it.
Hotel several years old, but very nice. Good hearty breakfasts. Spacious rooms. Experience close to the beach.
There is a lack of parking spaces throughout Monte Gordo! When booking a room, immediately book a parking space, as you will not have anywhere to leave your car. Typical tourist destination - lots of people on the beaches.
The hotel's architecture is charming and is well located. The hotel staff are extremely kind. Breakfast is good but not exceptional (coffee quality could be improved and juices are of poor quality with lots of sugar. The hotel is a little run down and maintenance could be improved. The Montegordo beach is very nice and once we walk a few hundred meters East we can find lots of space on the beach. Overall I recommend and would be inclined to repeat my experience.
The breakfast
Electric issue:
Staff, food generally good and pool snack bar is very reasonably priced.
The room could have ironing facilities and kettle, though I did not inquire if they were available on request . The mini fridhe didn't refrigerate properly, but i wasn't really using it so I didn't mentioned it to staff.
The staff, location, cleanliness
The breakfast desplay and content
There was some facilites that should be for free for the price we payed...like sauna.. jacuzzi ..
Awesome facilities, great stuff and good breakfast. The beach is less than five minutes away. Same distance to supermarkets if you need water/sunscreen,... Nice town with little restaurants.
Balcony sea views lovely beds clean helpful staff
During night extractor fan in bathroom came on I could hear it
Rooms we a good size, the shower was nice and big. Facility were good.
I booked this hotel as it had a spa pool as I wanted to relax in the indoor spa that evening but when I arrived I was told that to use the spa for only 2 hours there was an extra cost of €15 per person. If I knew this before I would have booked a different hotel.
Staff and accommodation excellent
Only tea coffee and toast was warm for breakfast...rest off food not hot at all
Quietly situated hotel which has been refurbished. Only a 10 min walk to the beautiful Monte Gordo beach, lovely outside space. We will definitely come back to this hotel.
Pool area excellent ..goog breakfast
Tissues in bedroom ... Coffee making facilities...complementary water in room
Awarded room update on top floor ...fabulous
Food reused at breakfasts ....scrambled egg had a crust on it! Also tomato juice tasted a bit sour ...previous day's juice ! Also rather zealous housekeeper on top floor .
Nicely located - modern property that offer many services on site to the guest. Great views from the balcony. Staff always professional.
Seperate beds despites the suite booked was described including as double bed. However this has been rectify by reception and housekeeping upon arrival.
Location accomadation
Nothing
Breakfast was very enjoyable with a good selection on offer.
Our room was comfortable, but we were not aware prior to booking we had no views from our window as such. as it was so high !
Excellent hotel, the breakfast is very good and everything happened like my expectations.
I didn't any problem there.
Breakfast is super. Reception Very professional
Location, customer service. Great breakfast
Expensive to use the on site gym. Perhaps that was why it was empty.
The housekeeping staff were excellent, it was my partners birthday and they left a note and wine in the room for him, really nice touch. We visited in November so didn’t get to use the outside pool ...
Breakfast was terrible, horrible orange juice and coffee that was undrinkable. They really could improve on the breakfast and not serve last nights leftovers, for example-carrots, courgette, pate, ...
I really appreciated how they done the bedroom as it was for a romantic evening
very good spa!!
rooms very cold! abit old.
Wide variety of breakfast choices
Bath in the room
Wonderful hotel. Old style but renovated. Very professional staff. Beach 5 minutes distance walking.
Bed could be less soft.
The spa and treatments were very good. The hotel was very quiet and relaxing.
I didn't like the cave like corridors. I didn't like the fact that I could not get a towel for the pool because I had no cash to pay the deposit, only credit cards and they would not charge it to the room. Would have liked tea/coffee making facitiy in the room.
I liked the hotel very much the facilities were good and restaurant food was great.
n.a.
Outside facilities are great
Not really a property issue, but the problem with parking around the hotel is annoying.
It is a bit over-crowded in August but the staff are very kind and try to meet all the requests. Breakfast is good but not really exceptional (quality of the coffee could easily be improved and, as Algarve is known for the quality of its oranges, fresh orange juice would make a difference. The hotel is nice and the original architecture/design still has its charm.
Th hotel is nice, but August in Monte Gordo is overcrowded, the ongoing constructions messy, and the quality /service of the restaurants is not that good. The beach is quite nice and we can take long walks along this wonderful sandy beach.
Staff was friendly and willing to help (even within the August confusion of Algarve). Breakfast was relatively good with different things to chose from (although no natural orange juice which is ...
What could have been better: first of all this is not a four stars Hotel, this is a four star hotel according to Portuguese Hotel guidelines (which unfortunately seem to be below standard). The room ...
Staff was friendly and willing to help (even within the August confusion of Algarve). Breakfast was relatively good with different things to chose from (although no natural orange juice which is strange in Algarve where they have the best oranges!). The hotel also has a great perspective over the ocean (although one must book 5th floor or above). Nice pool outside (although not very deep, only 1,50m) and nice space to relax on the rest of the territory.
What could have been better: first of all this is not a four stars Hotel, this is a four star hotel according to Portuguese Hotel guidelines (which unfortunately seem to be below standard). The room was a Double room and there were two beds side by side which is NOT the definition of a double room. Breakfast was not re-stocked until the end meaning that 30 minutes before end of breakfast hour there was already a very limited choice of bread, fruits and so on (water was non existent). In the bedroom there was no cotton pads, no mini bar, no iron, no hear cotton swabs. The parking was 15 EUR per day - outside one could get it for 10 EUR a day (a four star Hotel should do the utmost to please the customer, charging extra for a parking which is even more expensive than outside is not the way to go).
The decoration of the common places
No carpets in the room. The breakfast. The swimming pool. It sshould be organized in order to allow old people and babies to enjoy it withou the risk to be hit by a ball or a teen ager jumping ...
friendly staff a nice bar the food nice cold and hot buffet and the the breakfast very good selection of fruits .etc.
I have nothing of any great consequence to complain about. For the price the hotel was perfectly adequate but somehow staff were invisible and did little to engage their clients. There was a good ...
All included above
Room was perfect and on top floor with a stunning view
Evening entertainment
Clean room, nice staff, good location
Breakfast could be better
Nice breakfast with variety of food and fresh options, good facilities
Uncomfortable bed, access to the room only through stairs
Have to pay extra for Gym & spa New rooms are nice other rooms dated but still nice
Disappointing that the bar closes at midnight, on one night they even switched the lights off just gone midnight not adequate for a four star hotel to treat guests this way.
The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything about this hotel was excellent. This was my second stay there and I will stay there again.
Nothing!
Its a nice hotel in a nice location
Very noise inside
Variety of breakfast excellent, including smoked salmon ! Very large comfy bed
Being on the 8th floor shower was a bit slow and irregular temperature sometimes.
We booked a twin room but we were given a king size bed and a very small single bed. There was no space between the two beds so it meant climbing along the bed to get in it. This may have been ...
Confort ( bed) & breakfast
Extra expenses , waiters not smiling , not saying hello.
On the first 2 days the coffee was always cold as the Coffee Urn was not connected. On the 3 day we moved to the newly refurbished Restaurant which was much better As the Hotel is undergoing ...
Lovely breakfast
Room was smaller than we expected . Surprised bedrooms are not non smoking. Got the smell of cigarettes when we first got into the room. Ashtray provided on the balcony.
Fitness centre
Tvs extremely old fashioned everywhere in hotel and room
booked a suite, what we got was a two bedroomed apartment, no hot drink making facilities.
THE VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY STAFF. OUR ORIGINAL ROOM ( A BUDGET DOUBLE ) WAS VERY SMALL AND NEARLY WINDOWLESS AND NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED BUT THE STAFF SWITCHED US TO A VERY PLEASANT LARGE ROOM WITH ...
THE FACT THAT THE EVENING DINNER WAS ON A SELF SERVICE BASIS CREATING A LOT OF NOISY MOVEMENT AND BEING BUFFET STYLE SOMEWHAT DEFEATED THE OBJECT OF A SELECTIVE DAILY MENU.
The breakfast was outstanding always plenty to choose from
All good will be back
Quiet and Tranquil, nice area only a 5 min walk to a beautifull beach.
The first room we got hadnt been refurbished as others have so the bathroom was in need of modernising, the shower over the bath was uncontrolable and the water pressure forced the water to hit the ...
Food location
Charging for safe in room, charging for towel and charging on top to refresh towel after a day when the first clerk told us it was included.
Great location, relaxed environment, very clean. Staff excellent, friendly and helpful.
Only mirror was in the bathroom.
Coffee was nice which is unusual at the hotels cause you usually have to go to cafes and restaurants to get coffee which is the best coffee . Bed was good although it was 2 singles put together. ...
TV was tiny, no pay movies, view from balcony was very run down and unflattering to Faro which does have it charms. Nice looking hotel but I have stayed there before and the rooms aren't great. I ...
Room are good size for my family very comfortable for our stay.
Not much activity there, no entrainment!
Beautiful hotel. Spa and outdoor swimming pool were fantastic! Friendly staff, great food. Would reccomend.
No enough air conditioning,toilets very old and dirty,daily room cleaning poor,lunch or dinner poor food and to expensive,not happy a tall also we left a day early and no recund been given, i won'...
Hotel especial the room accommodation as that was to hoot inside as there was only 1 air conditioning for 2 rooms suite.
The staff were great and near town and beech.
Small double bed in junior suite. Id recommend two singles. Plus seaview not worth extra £. As you'd need binoculars.
Events everyday, confortable bed and room view
Breakfast could have been better
Lovely break away x
very comfortable
very comfortable
Breakfast was amazing, and the outside facilities are fabulous for the price we paid. I gotta leave a word for the staff, very professional and friendly, no complaints about them.
My bathroom could be a little bit more cleaned as i found some little ants there. Also my bathroom door couldn't close because the lock was broken.
