Montechoro Hotel Algarve Reviews

4 out of 5

My husband and I stayed there Sept 22 - 25th. The weather was very hot, location of the hotel was perfect for walking on the "strip" every day/night to the many different restaurants. The beach was a 10 minute downhill walk and not very large. Nightlife on the strip was hopping and very entertaining. We felt safe walking around late at nights. No ironing allowed in the rooms, you have to pay someone to do this and you have to pay one week minimum for a safe to secure your valuables. We took a jr. suite and the room was large and well cleaned everyday, all other areas were also kept very clean. Being North Americans, we still hate the idea of two beds pushed together...we love the queen or king sized bed. The hotel and front desk were always busy with people checking in or leaving, we met people from lots of different countries (some had stayed there before). Buffet breakfast was included and though it was the same everyday, it was quite a spread and well worth the money. Everything you could possibly need was available in the area. We took a $15 day bus tour from a vendor on the strip and definitely got more than our money's worth. Staff was friendly, people in the area very helpful, friendly, honest and not pushy. Shopping was cheap and bargains could be had everywhere. We had a great time exploring this area and would definitely go back again!

Suite was lovely, very clean, fine hotel, but for Staff, were very unfriendly, everything was a effort, One morning we were leaving the hotel at 6 am and the previous evening, we asked could we get breakfast early, so they gave us room service, just rolls and tea, and when we were leaving, they asked us for €2.50 for this room service. I loved the area, but I would not stay in this hotel again. Any people we spoke with that were staying in the hotel had the same complaint. It is not a hugh effort to SMILE and be FRIENDLY.
