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.

Where to Stay in Monte Gordo

We've been going to this hotel for a number of years and it's always nice to see the same welcoming people at reception. The hotel is always kept in great condition and the included breakfast has gotten better. Great location, quiet with Spar right across the street.

Hotel room was a good size with an extra large balcony. There is an option to have your room serviced every day, we found the hotel to be very clean. The beach is a couple of minutes away as is restaurants, cafes and bars. The pool area is fine and there was always sunbeds available. There was also a good choice for breakfast.
