6/10 Good

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!

We were on a house hunting trip - Beautiful location, gorgeous hotel, fantastic staff. Bed was a little uncomfortable though and the scrambled eggs at breakfast weren't the best 😉

This hotel offered an incredible price for all the amenities offered! The thermal waters & hiking in the area were outstanding! Breakfast was unfailingly delicious, including full set of pastries (with infamous pastel do note), eggs, bacon, freshly squeezed OJ & yummy coffee. Highly recommended by a world traveller!

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.

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
Stefan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Helpful and accommodating. Only flaw was the mini fridge did not work. It was not such a big deal and we did not report it
Robert, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay - lovely place.

Stayed here for two nights in a garden bungalow room. as part of a long weekend break. We enjoyed the thermal bathes which are situated just a few steps away from the hotel . The gardens and pool area were very relaxed and pretty . There is a nice bar on the site which closes at six which seems a bit strange. Maybe it’s because we’re out of season ? But was a lovely spot for a beer. The breakfast was good with lots of choice.. we did have one issue which the manager sorted very professionally and quickly which we were grateful for. Really lovely place very happy .
Michael, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible beds, worse food. Hotel is understaffed and the staff they have are mostly rude. The food is an absolute train wreck of grease. Turkish sauna was broken. The "thermal" water is not hot, but luke warmish. Locker room was disgusting. The property is beautiful and being wasted by imcompetent management. Stay elsewhere, eat in Monchique and stop by for a walk around the property.

They advertise that the bed sheets and towels changed every 3 days, it did not happen. We had to ask on the 4th day for that to happen

Bad service in a old and unrenovated hotel

Old thermal hotel that need a real renovation in its concept and specially with their local staff that were for 2 days exceptionally and surprisingly unfriendly for Portugal . Rooms are ok , clean and average food mattress . Food is really poor in terms of quality , healthy and creativity . Low cost food !! The infrastructure is old and the maintenance is just made on surface ! Very bad service from the host at the Spa ( Ann) , unfriendly, rude and unpleasant . She made me decide to leave the place on the spot ! Staff of the restaurant t at breakfast we’re not friendly too : pleas Make a change and hire new and young staff ( I did have still some good attendance the night I arrived from the Brazilian staff working there ) . The source and fabric of the Monchique water was definitely not making me dreaming , big disappointment considering I love this water and it’s very healthy. In conclusion : I will not come anymore and can not recommend to anyone to stay there .

Short break on journey through Portugal

We decided to stay in the countryside for one night away from the busy coast. The Hotel is in a lovely natural park setting and has a pretty courtyard and a good size pool with sunbeds in a grassy garden. There is also a bar , restaurant and two shops onsite. Checking in was easy and professional and the room a good size and clean. As this was a night to just chill, after using the pool area which was clean and in good condition for the afternoon, we decided to eat at the restaurant. It was not busy, the service was ok for drinks, although not all on the menu were available. Similar story with food, although a shortish menu, not all available. After a 20-30 minute wait, the food arrived and mine was very nice as was the wine we had, unfortunately my wife's food came out cold, so it had to be sent back, we were told it would be re-done, but after another 20 minutes it had not come back. After more chasing it still did not arrive so we ended p cancelling that meal, very disappointed. The staff did apologise, and we were not charged for the wine and the 1 meal we got, so that was a good attempt to recover the situation. The Breakfast had no similar problems and was good, with a limited but good choice. We would stay again but might eat in the nearby village

6/10 Good

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.
