The hotel was very clean and well maintained, staff were friendly and helpful. Also the room was spacious and comfortable.
The downside to the hotel was the indoor pool was very small and had a cover over it so couldnt be used and the bar consisted of a couple of bottles of spirits.
The breakfast was plentiful with the usual continental offerings.
We would recommend this hotel. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Very good selection at breakfast.5minute walk to beach. Definitely would stay again.

Razoavel - serviços efecientes - pequeno almoço pode melhorar
Rent rum och bra läge. Frukosten var bra men serverades i en stor opersonlig lokal, där det blev mycket hög ljudnivå. Frukosten serverades mellan kl 8-10, därav mkt folk och hög ljudnivå.

Basic hotel but spacious rooms, very clean, fair breakfast, good pool area.
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.
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.
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.
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 😁😁
