Hotel room was a good size with an extra large balcony. There is an option to have your room serviced every day, we found the hotel to be very clean. The beach is a couple of minutes away as is restaurants, cafes and bars. The pool area is fine and there was always sunbeds available. There was also a good choice for breakfast.

The property itself was fine for the price. Excellent location, proximity to beach, restaurants, bars etc. walkable. Felt safe. The hotel room doors need something on them to stop them slamming. It seems no one on our floor noticed this and the slamming, inadvertently, im sure, contined til well past 1am. 😵‍💫

Tuula

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Exceptionally poor for a four-star hotel. The breakfast was institutional, served in a dark, low-ceilinged, noisy, and bleakly decorated space. The room was spacious and generally okay, but it had a laminate floor and a rotten bathroom door. Since we visited during the low season, street parking was free, and the hotel was relatively quiet at night, even though our room was right next to the entrance. The gym had no free weights and was very limited. The indoor pool was out of service. The saunas were small and cost €8 per person. If you want to enjoy your holiday, do not stay at this hotel.

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.

Cuidado con ir descalzo por la piscina

Pese a estar prohibido, muchos usuarios tenían botellas de cristal de cerveza y copas en la zona de la piscina donde se encuentran las tumbonas. Hay una parte con mesas donde se permite, pero en el resto no. Un gran riesgo, sobre todo para niños pequeños que jugaban descalzos por allí. Lo peor es que se le comunicó al personal de hotel pero no hicieron ningún caso. Parece ser que es más importante vender botellas de cervezas.

Long term user of Hotels.com user.

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.

Four nights in Monte Gordo.

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.

Ho soggiornato in questa struttura con mio marito e i miei due figli. La struttura é un po' datata e non un quattro stelle ma ci hanno dato un appartamentino spazioso e molto luminoso con cucinotto per poter preparare i nostri pasti, molto comodo per non dover andare ogni giorno al ristorante per pranzo e cena. L'hotel è vicinissimo a tutti i principali servizi, supermercato, ristoranti, spiaggia ma ha un grosso problema di parcheggio perché in hotel non vi era disponibilità e antistante l'hotel vi sono parcheggi a pagamento ogni 4 ore e i vigili facevano parecchie multe. Girando vi è comunque la possibilità di trovare qualche raro parcheggio non a pagamento ma bisogna essere fortunati. La spiaggia é facilmente raggiungibile a piedi ed è molto bella. Il personale è gentilissimo e molto disponibile, la colazione non eccellente ma varia e buona. Nel complesso è stata una bellissima vacanza e se dovessi ritornare in futuro a Monte Gordo tornerei in questo hotel. Sono appena tornata e ci tornerei subito. Consigliatissimo
