Pet friendly Hotels Monte Gordo

Have just returned home after a week at this hotel. I noticed it had mixed reviews. My personal opinion of this hotel is it was perfect for my needs. The hotel is very clean and spacious. My room and bathroom were spotless. Free air con, free safe. A very decent size fridge that kept contents very cool. Free wifi all over the hotel and no problems with it. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. As we’re the bar staff. A “hi” to Martin who was super sweet. A huge dining area that was very clean. Lots of choice for breakfast. Cereals, yogurts, fruit, breads, cakes, cheese, meats, preserves and honey etc. There was also cooked bacon, sausages, fried and scrambled eggs, beans, mushrooms etc. Toaster at hand for toast. The bread rolls are baked fresh in the kitchen each morning and are delicious. My one and only negative is the choice of teabags. Needed three to produce one cup of weak tasteless tea. There’s a large sunbathing area with good quality sun loungers. The pool was stunning too. I would most definitely return to this lovely and well run hotel.

Very dated hotel but very clean. Not a lot of atmosphere for us, and staff although present were not friendly or inviting in any way. We were BB and the breakfast Buffett was very good. Lots of choice from cooked bacon, eggs, sausage and eggs to fantastic fruit, yoghurts, pastries and fresh bread and toast. We had lunch one day at pool bar, tuna salad for 2, very nice. The resort was very quiet, lots of bars and restaurants closed, even though our tour operators stayed open until end of October! We ate out most evenings but food repetitive, although some we would recommend. Tip we paid extra for Davies, it was worth it. Beach fantastic with a full wood walkway. Down size not much to do in MG, we visited Villa Real and took ferry to Spain, also walked to a town near by and got Uber back to MG only £4. Sorry won’t be back but enjoyed the break away.

The hotel is conveniently located near beach and town centre. Very clean and well run. Room was good and cleaned every day. Pool area good too. Breakfast was fresh and well stocked. The breakfast staff were amazing- as the weekend was a bank holiday- they ran round like whirling dervishes restocking the food, cleaning tables etc. Reception staff helpful too. One point- no bottle of water in the fridge on arrival- I expect that after a long journey. Yes I’d recommend it

Basic hotel, rooms nice and clean, bed made every day. Staff not particularly friendly, food basic and boring went out most days. Pretty central for what we wanted, it was a place to sleep. Beach only about 5/10 minute walk which is beautiful.

The GOOD: all the staff were welcoming, professional & accommodating; particularly the bar & kitchen staff. The pool area was clean and welcoming. The BAD: one of the reasons we chose this property was the ‘ free parking’ - which turned out to be an issue. When we arrived and were unable to locate any available parking and advised the front desk where we parked (in a parking lot behind the building across the street) - we were told - “not a problem” - until we were ticketed. Then we became aware there were only a limited amount of CASABLANCA parking spots - which were all full - we advised the front desk staff a lot of the vehicles didn’t have the hotel parking sticker…they didn’t appear to care as did not act on the vehicles parked there without hotel stickers…. The bathroom had ants on the floor & counter - we then kept our supplies in the sink which until then didn’t have ants - and then they invaded the sink. A few times I woke up to ants crawling on me. The air conditioner would often make clunking sounds and then proceed to shout out chunks of ice in the room…. The bed - we’ve never experienced such a hard mattress… The UGLY Probably because if the moisture from the AC unit on the balcony, mold was in the corners of the balcony… We initially thought about vacating- even if it meant losing our $ we paid upfront for the 3 nights - however there was extremely limited availability in the vicinity and there appeared to be parking issues with those properties and we’d take a chance on those being an improvement - so we endured and chalked it up to ‘ adventures in travel’

Vila Real and Monte Gordo are two interesting destinations for practicing sports (running, cycling, golf, etc.) and this Hotel has the ideal characteristics for it. Location close to sports facilities, rooms prepared for a good rest and a breakfast with healthy, quality options suitable for athletes.

The best thing was breakfast. The room was changed to us saying it was superior, but the room we had reserved was refurbished and with shower, and the room we received no. And even though we went down and explained that we reserved it so for the difficulty not to use bathroom but they said they had no other. So a big negative point. And as regards the facilities, say they have a outdoor swimming pool, indoor ...(this is part of the spa that you have to pay and doesn't say it anywhere, but when you arrive there. The hotel was very good, but it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good, and it was very good
