Charming hotel in a beautiful setting. The room was large and clean. We really enjoyed staying here especially after our time in the more crowded areas near the beaches.

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!

The toilet & AC did not work properly. The shower head was very loos & could not stay properly. The wall & floor rag is dirty. The bed sheets were clean & the breakfast was good. To expensive for the price paid.

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

Great stay - lovely place.
Stayed here for two nights in a garden bungalow room. as part of a long weekend break. We enjoyed the thermal bathes which are situated just a few steps away from the hotel . The gardens and pool area were very relaxed and pretty . There is a nice bar on the site which closes at six which seems a bit strange. Maybe it’s because we’re out of season ? But was a lovely spot for a beer. The breakfast was good with lots of choice.. we did have one issue which the manager sorted very professionally and quickly which we were grateful for.
Really lovely place very happy .

They advertise that the bed sheets and towels changed every 3 days, it did not happen. We had to ask on the 4th day for that to happen

Feb 17, 2024
Terrible beds, worse food. Hotel is understaffed and the staff they have are mostly rude. The food is an absolute train wreck of grease. Turkish sauna was broken. The "thermal" water is not hot, but luke warmish. Locker room was disgusting. The property is beautiful and being wasted by imcompetent management. Stay elsewhere, eat in Monchique and stop by for a walk around the property.

Bad service in a old and unrenovated hotel
Old thermal hotel that need a real renovation in its concept and specially with their local staff that were for 2 days exceptionally and surprisingly unfriendly for Portugal .
Rooms are ok , clean and average food mattress .
Food is really poor in terms of quality , healthy and creativity . Low cost food !!
The infrastructure is old and the maintenance is just made on surface !
Very bad service from the host at the Spa ( Ann) , unfriendly, rude and unpleasant . She made me decide to leave the place on the spot ! Staff of the restaurant t at breakfast we’re not friendly too : pleas
Make a change and hire new and young staff ( I did have still some good attendance the night I arrived from the Brazilian staff working there ) .
The source and fabric of the Monchique water was definitely not making me dreaming , big disappointment considering I love this water and it’s very healthy.
In conclusion : I will not come anymore and can not recommend to anyone to stay there .
