We stayed here in May, and we suffered with really bad weather so were forced to stay in the hotel more than we would have usually. It's times like this that you find fault in a three star that frankly needs some money spent on it. Bar was small and dark, barman incapable of even attempting to break a smile,... more

Ithe hotel should not be classed as 3 star as there were too many faults. the rooms were ok in size but the balconys are only 6 x 3 feet and you do not get the sun at all as there are too many high rise buildings around, The plumbing does need seeing too as every time upstairs someone flushed... more

As long as you do not expect any sort of luxury you will be OK. We didn't pay a lot to go here so was expecting what we got. Basic rooms, basic bar & restaurant area and not the warmest welcome from staff. However, it was bearable and for a cheap get away couldn't complain. Monte Gordo itself was very... more

Paid £435 for 2 adults and a child on a half board basis. After paying that, what really can you expect? A pleasant surprise. THE RESORT Quiet. Clean. Lovely beach-goes for miles. A bit characterless, unfortunately but it was okay for a cheap week. A lot of Dutch and English guests stay here for the winter. Not for your young/lively... more

I stayed at the hotel, a few years ago, and was glad that I did, because there was a lot of trouble brewing at most of the other hotels. I met a lot of people who were disgusted with their hotels. I had a pleasant room, and plenty to eat. OK, the food was fairly basic, but it was good... more

A group of us stayed for a week in October 2006 and were impressed by the very friendly, efficient and helpful staff. Our room on the sixth floor was excellent. The buffet style restaurant was a bit crowded but a good variety of food over the week. As the hotel catered for a wide variety of nationalities they made an... more
