Bed was a little uncomfortable though and the scrambled eggs at breakfast weren't the best 😉 ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 17 Jul 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen 21 Sept 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 #### Zahid 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very beautiful hotel in beautiful Mountain area. Service was awesome. Staff very friendly. Elevator was out of order, but staff helped with luggage. In room phone was not working, had to walk down to reception to request help with luggage. I needed an iron. Had to walk down to get it. On our 1 week cross- Portugal trip we learnt that amenities like toothbrush/ tooth paste , body lotion, iron in room are not of standard amenities in the hotels. Breakfast was included, though hotel.com mentioned that we would be charged. Enjoyed our breakfast. Huge variety. However, coffee is provided only via a machine which lets you choose what kind of coffee( espresso, cappuccino, black/ latte) but taste was awful. It’s better to have tea. All in all we still enjoyed our stay. ##### Zahid Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Avril 1 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place for a couples break. Not a good place for children. ##### Avril Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 3 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Comfortable room. Quiet place Quite extensive breakfast. Can’t comment on the dinner, as we had it elsewhere. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Hotel, Monchique Pros: - Very Good air Conditioning - Very beautiful view - Not very busy pool - very Clean - Friendly Staff Cons: - The Food was hit or miss - Often Missing stuff on the Menu - Website info was out of date - Bath was leaky - Charging for the water which is exactly the same from the taps ##### Daniel Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ian 21 Jul 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefan 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Monchique experience Place is nice and relaxed . Missing more stuff to provide massages at spa and also some machines to buy water or snacks after closing hours . Otherwise all perfect and def finely come back ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E7E9F7A0A09F6CDBB1D1811EBBD0AB7C56B2E7DA1697372696308.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BB6B9CF8C246445EDE7AEF2EFFA183B1730BFA3A1697372695385.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/85CE9B819E88274A4E90B60B342A3420D5098BA31697372697340.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stefan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gary 8 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It was OK, everything is stuck in the 70’s. 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Natasha 29 Aug 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The toilet & AC did not work properly. The shower head was very loos & could not stay properly. The wall & floor rag is dirty. The bed sheets were clean & the breakfast was good. To expensive for the price paid. ##### Natasha Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### john 2 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Welcome to resort was great. Unfortunately there were too many steps to the pool to negotiate. Dinner was a buffet with limited choice but was very good. Mix up over what was booked and paid for resulted in us being presented with a bill for dinner in the restaurant which was unfortunate. Eventually restaurant manager agreed to sort out with reception. Good breakfast with lots of choice. ##### john Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### karyn 3 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place is beautiful. Breakfast buffet is plentiful and tasty. I would have given it a 5 but when I called before booking I was told they have spa services available upon request. I told them we wanted massages and treatments and I was told just give 24 hour notice. For this reason only I booked the place and drove 45 minutes to beach every morning and then back to beach in the evening. When I arrived I was told no services are available until after August 8th. For this I would have stayed on the beach and not wasted time and gas. Before arriving I also asked for two beds, We arrived to one bes. The lady was very kind and gave me two beds but the room STUNK. The next morning I made then aware that the AC unit is not functioning properly and wreaks of fungus and stool. Nothing was done about this, we had to sweat all night long and I mean sweat, miserable sleep. I was so tired I slept all the way back to Lisbon in the car. The pool is great but no towels and no chairs. Obligated to sit on concrete until someone left. I absolutely love the outdoors. Being from South America I am use to these resorts and when they get it tight, its a perfect stay. I would have loved some spa treatments since I work very hard and really needed that downtime. If they fix those things the resort is a perfect 5\. They also need a small vending machine for when you are starving at night. The refrigerator and safe nonfunctional. Due to the stench of fungus we had to leave suitcases in car. ##### karyn Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sina 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Charming hotel in a beautiful setting.
