Hotels near Praia Monte Gordo, Monte Gordo

Only a 3* hotel, but really nice. Reception staff spoke excellent English and were very friendly and polite. The rooms have lovely little balconies and the room itself had AC (I didn’t have to use it), was very clean and there were some nice little touches; a free bottle of water, a mini fridge, a good sized bath sheet, a bath mat and complimentary toiletries. The hotel is perfectly situated, with a nice walk to the marina and main town square. All-in-all, a very nice place

Just home from a weeks holiday in the Robinsons Quinta Da Ria. This is a very nice hotel in a fabulous location. The hotel rooms whilst a little dated are always very well cleaned daily. Food options, availability and service was excellent although perhaps more catered to adults as opposed to kids. As per other reviews there is a bit of a rampage for tables especially in the evenings and it is a pity this couldn’t be better organised. The wooden veranda flooring is questionable as the gaps did allow for a few wee visitors from the food droppings! The disappointment in this holiday was the limitations for English speaking nationals especially for the children. We had very limited awareness of what was happening on a daily basis as notifications were primarily in German/Portuguese and a little detail in English..our young children were never acknowledged or recognised or encouraged to participate. We were not offered a personal tour on arrival but again very notable in the following days how others were. We also requested a bag lift from room in morning but my husband ended up taking all our bags by himself to the waiting transfer. We certainly sensed not all guests treated the same. There was a lady doing ‘one in one’ swimming lessons in pool and whilst we stood with our 3 year old playing by steps she swam in between us showing no regard for our space or respect for us in the pool. To the point the child she was teaching was hitting our child with her noodle! Very strange behaviour it was honestly like we were invisible and we had been there quite a while at this stage. Most disappointing and certainly a massive area of concern was the tiles in the kids pool..on the first day our 3 yr old was playing on her knees in shallow end -with buckets etc and when she got up scraped the front of her foot very badly. This information was shared with rep and there was no follow up. Tavira is a beautiful holiday destination which we were lucky to visit, Robinsons is certainly rated as one of thee best places to stay in the area but it is important to note which we hadn’t realised it’s not necessarily for all nationalities or groups.

Hotel with excellent facilities. The perfect place to enjoy the good weather in the Algarve. Close to a fantastic beach. The package I chose was bed and breakfast. The only weak point was the quality of the products for breakfast. The juices are of very low quality, mini pastries almost non-existent and very bad waffles. The same is repeated at dinner. We decided to have dinner at the hotel and the buffet is very poor and without quality. I don't know if it's related to the all inclusive packages that most guests have, but I think it's a point to improve for customer satisfaction. We love it anyway, but without a doubt that if I return, I will eat outside the hotel.

This hotel is nice and the staff are friendly but the rooms are not suitable for 4 adults. I had booked 5 nights at this hotel and had to cancel and rebook after the first night. This hotel only accommodates 2 adultsin a room, but were were a group of 4. If only the hotel had suggested to book 2 doubles we would have done that. They allowed a single room booking for 4 adults. When we got there the room had 1 double bed, a child's fold away bed very low to the ground and a single sofa bed, again not really suitable for an adult. The hotel were amicable about the situation and did try to help but in the end we had to cancel our reservation and book elsewhere

The pool area is the highlight of this hotel. There were plenty of sunbeds for the guests. There is a pool bar which opens if there is a full day of good weather. You must go to the bar, there is no poolside service. The gym and spa area were also good. I enjoyed a lovely massage. The hotel rooms are very compact but functional. Beds and pillows are comfortable. Shower was good and there was always hot water. The air con was great. The fridge works well if you leave the cabinet door open. There is tea and coffee (but not restocked) but no milk. You must put sign on the door if you want the cleaners to do your room. There is no iron in the room and none available on request. You have to pay for an ironing service. The sink drained very slowly in the bathroom. The hallway carpets had some questionable staining - I really cannot understand how they haven’t replaced sections of it. We had a room overlooking the carpark which is not the best view but does get nice evening sunshine on the balcony. The WiFi was good. The breakfast was only ok. I would have expected better. There was nice fresh fruit and fresh croissants each morning but the yogurt, orange juice and coffee were terrible quality. I wouldn’t touch the hot food. If you come down near the end of service, forget about it, staff seem to have given up, I even had to set my own table one morning as none of the tables had been cleared. The piano player at breakfast was very good. They give out flowers to the lady guests some days. These things are nice touches but I imagine guests would rather better food instead. We had lunch in the hotel twice. Pizza was ok. Tried the calamari another day but it could have been deep fried anything to be honest and fries tasted like they’d been sitting around. Rooftop bar is nice with lovely views and they make good cocktails. Bar staff were nice. We only in the rooftop restaurant once and it was disappointing.

Even in the depths of winter, the Doubletree in Islantilla rolled out the red carpet for its visitors. I was in the region for business, and although the hotel is built for Golf, its a great place to stay even if the fairway isn't why you are there. The rooms are comfortable, and I slept well. The Dinner buffet was fantastic, and considering the hotel had maybe 50 guests, nothing was spared with a fantastic spread of local and international food. The breakfast buffet was the same - a great range of super fresh food, and if you like a hot fried breakfast. When I return, I'll stay here.
