Guest Reviews
Location
The central location of the hotel allows easy access to Monte Gordo's main attractions without the need for a car. Moreover, the hotel's private parking is a significant advantage for those who drive. Guests also enjoy the spacious, well-equipped apartments that often come with amenities such as balconies and sea views, contributing to a comfortable stay.
Overall, the convenience of being close to both the beach and the city center, combined with a tranquil and well-serviced environment, makes Monte Gordo Hotel Apartamentos & Spa a favored choice among travelers.
Breakfast
However, there are some mixed opinions. While many found the breakfast to be great or even fantastic, others felt it was average or could use more variety. Some guests mentioned issues such as the coffee quality not meeting expectations or options being limited for those with dietary restrictions like lactose or gluten intolerance. The size of the breakfast room and the temperature of the food were also noted as areas for improvement by a few reviewers.
Overall, Monte Gordo Hotel Apartamentos & Spa's breakfast generally leaves a positive impression, appreciated for both its diversity and taste. Despite minor criticisms, it is clear that many guests start their day happily with the morning meal at this hotel.
Dinner
However, there have been several areas of concern as well. Some guests found the dinners to be "expensive and scarce," with a "sparse variety" and at times "cold" food. The dining room reportedly lacks variety, leading some guests to prefer eating outside the hotel. The dinner buffet, while good, occasionally "fell short of expectations due to little variety." There were also complaints about "long and unpleasant queues" and the overall practicality of the restaurant's dishes.
It's also worth noting that some information about the hotel's services, such as dinner options and prices, is not readily available in English in the rooms. Improvements have been suggested in terms of detergent availability for washing dishes and better variety and service in the restaurant.
In summary, while the dinner at Monte Gordo Hotel Apartamentos & Spa has its highlights with excellent buffets and well-received meals, there are notable areas that could benefit from enhancements, particularly in variety, service quality and providing clearer information to guests.
Rooms
Cleanliness is another frequently mentioned positive aspect with reviewers noting that both rooms and bathrooms are consistently well-maintained. The comfort of the accommodations, including features like air conditioning and functional living spaces, also scores highly among guests.
However, a few reviews mentioned rooms that were dark or lacked a good view. Despite minor criticisms, the overall sentiment is that the hotel offers spacious, clean and well-appointed apartments that enhance the guest experience.
Beds
However, some guests mention that the mattresses can be a bit too firm and even very hard in some cases. A few reviews also note the lack of double beds with twin beds often being pushed together instead. Additionally, the sofa beds seem to need improvement, as they were not as comfortable for those who used them.
Despite some mentions of firmness and a preference for double beds, the general consensus is that the comfort of the bedding and mattresses greatly enhances the overall stay, making Monte Gordo Hotel Apartamentos & Spa a solid choice for a restful night's sleep.
Cleanliness
Visitors often appreciate the staff's attentiveness and the overall hygiene of the hotel. The cleanliness of specific areas such as the kitchenettes and restrooms is also routinely praised. However, a few guests mentioned that there have been occasional lapses in cleaning with some comments noting that floors or bathrooms could have been cleaner or that the room cleaning schedule was inflexible.
Overall, the hotel maintains a high standard of cleanliness, which is frequently highlighted by guests as a strong point, contributing significantly to a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

While some reviews pointed out unfriendly counter staff, these instances seem to be exceptions rather than the norm. The staff's readiness to assist with any issues, coupled with their pleasant demeanour, leaves a positive impression on most visitors. It’s evident that the hotel places a high emphasis on hospitality, as repeated compliments mention the friendliness and efficiency of the team.

Wi-Fi
Spa
Gym
However, several reviews point out that the gym is quite small and limited in its offerings. It primarily features cardio machines and lacks weights, causing some disappointment among fitness enthusiasts looking for a more comprehensive workout. While some find the gym adequate, others describe it as a corridor with some machines, noting it is poorly equipped and has limited availability. Overall, the gym's offerings are basic and may not meet the needs of those seeking a fully equipped fitness center.
Pool
Despite the favorable comments on accessibility and warm water, many guests noted the pool’s small size and limited depth, making it less ideal for serious swimming or accommodating larger crowds. They also mentioned that the pool becomes crowded easily and the limited space for sunbathing and seating can be a drawback during peak times.
Maintenance and cleanliness of the pool area have been points of contention. Some guests pointed out instances of the pool being dirty or not well-maintained, although they did acknowledge that reported issues were addressed quickly by the hotel staff. Additionally, while some appreciated the indoor setting, others felt the pool area could benefit from better sun exposure and less shading.
For those who enjoy a more relaxed poolside experience, the hotel provides a pleasant and adequate pool environment, complimented by the broader range of amenities like the sauna and spa, offering a holistic leisure experience despite its drawbacks.
Beach
Parking
Some guests mention the parking lot could benefit from being covered to provide shade, as currently, it is an open dirt field lacking protection from the elements. Despite this, the availability of complimentary and secured parking is highly valued, making it easy for guests to park their cars and enjoy their stay without additional costs.
Family
The environment is calm, well-located and ideal for family stays, creating a memorable experience for all. The positive aspects of the stay often highlight the family interaction with the hotel's family-friendly atmosphere enhancing the overall experience. The staff's availability and friendliness further contribute to a welcoming and comfortable stay, ensuring families feel right at home.
Although some guests mention additional fees for children over three years old and the absence of a blender for baby food in the rooms, these minor inconveniences are outweighed by the overall family-oriented amenities and the quality-price ratio. Families, including larger ones with several children or a baby, frequently express their satisfaction and look forward to repeating their stays, reinforcing the hotel's reputation as a family-friendly destination.

Indoor Pool
However, there are consistent remarks about the pool's size and temperature with some guests finding it too small and shallower than expected. A few reviewers also commented on the pool being cold, which detracted from their experience. While the pool is adequate for some, others felt it lacked appeal, especially in the summer months when an indoor setting without sun can be less enjoyable. Additionally, there was feedback about the absence of a dedicated children's pool, which may be a consideration for families.
