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!

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!

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!!

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.

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
