Feedback about Monchique Resort & Spa from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Monchique Resort & Spa offers spacious rooms, some equipped with kitchenettes, providing flexibility for self-catering. Guests appreciate the on-site dining options, including a pizzeria and restaurant, as well as the convenient bar by the pools; the all-inclusive package is often considered a great value, simplifying meals, especially for families. The spa stands out with its sensorial experience and affordable prices, while the location, though a bit inland, allows for exploring nearby Portimão, only 25 minutes away, though some find the drive to other beaches to be lengthy. Free parking in the underground garage is another appreciated bonus for exploring the Algarve region.

Really good Hotel Experience

gluten free choices helpful staff pleasing architecture indoor pool

The breakfast offered many options and included good gluten free choices. Staff members were consistently available and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The layout and architecture of the building were notably pleasing. I found the pool area great. The indoor heated pool was a definite highlight, as was the pool table.

The room seemed slightly outdated, I noticed the furniture was a bit worn. I also noticed that the TV sets were old.

Facilities

The hotel includes multiple pools, both indoor and outdoor, to accommodate various preferences. I saw a well-equipped gym with several treadmills and stationary bikes. There is also a dedicated kids' club area, offering organized activities and supervision.

crowded pools cockroach situation

the pools was a complete disaster. they are totally crowded with kids everywhere. i hate that babies was allowed, and people was jumping and throwing balls. the hotel should designate one pool only for adults. also, there was a cockroach in the room at midnight. even with changing the room, im still not relaxing.
