Top Monchique Hotel Reviews

Lagosmar Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent value hotel. The breakfast at €10 was amazing value and highly recommended. Very close to the centre of town. There's no parking but and underground car park about 5 minutes walk away"

Bela Colina Holidays - Boavista Golf & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"All superb."

Hotel Da Gale

10/10 Excellent

"Imaculaterly clean, decent breakfast, excellent price-quality ratio!"

Tivoli Carvoeiro

10/10 Excellent

"Our room with a balcony had a spectacular view of the water. The breakfast area also offered amazing views. The breakfast options were excellent, but is the same every day. Don’t pass on the mimosas! We had a fantastic stay!"

Belmar Spa & Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Rooms were very spacious and clean. Veranda was lovely to sit out on. Beautiful resort with short walk to beach. Only disappointment was Restaurant didn’t offer à la carte while we were there. Buffet was very over priced and not really good. Very disappointing for the $$"

Iberostar Selection Lagos Algarve

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing resort, food selection, quality and variety was outstanding. Location was great for accessing the beach and close to town for either driving or using a taxi/uber. Lots of areas around pools to sit and relax."

Vila Vita Parc

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely stunning property with outstanding staff and restaurants/bars. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of traveling to Algarve. We will definitely be back!"

Monchique Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great value deal off-season & mid-week, looks quite new. Amenities & cleanliness actually score closer to 4.5 if more precise, due some nitpicks (at least one was easily fixable). Mountain gives beautiful views - terrace is a great place to eat breakfast/a la carte restaurant meals from (covered for shade). Included breakfast buffet great, totally worth it - choice of fruit/cereals/muesli/cooked breakfast (good), several fruit juices/coffee, milk choices including lactose-free milk ("sem lactose" in Portuguese) as well as other non-dairy "milk"s without a special request. Reception spoke enough/good English. Went extra mile when mentioned was my wife's birthday one evening, came out with a little cake with candles (like a big brownie + pretty, decorative icing), plus left another in our room's fridge. Pools are lovely (though covered outdoor warm one was full of little dark-coloured bits of perhaps the wooden boards around/stuff from between the ridges there). So much across 3 linked blocks (A, B, C) with numerous floors but because of all the corridors & going up/down levels in lifts or stairs to move across them to get to the different facilities, can feel like a rabbit warren. But a well signed one (except one area exiting a lift/stairs I ended up unsure which way to go). Nit-picks: - Missing corkscrew/sharp knives, maid got 1 (said should've had, maybe unchecked between guests). - Hairs on shower wall - Limiting fridge layout (removed shelves for wine/any carton)"

RR Hotel da Rocha

10/10 Excellent

"The suite we had had lots of room. Hotel ideally located near beaches and restaurants! Great stay."
