Monica Isabel Beach Club

Furniture antiquated AC machine loud as ever very good access to the beach

We had an amazing experience at Hotel Monica Isabel! The location is perfect, and the hotel is very beautiful, providing a pleasant atmosphere. Although it could use some renovations, this doesn’t take away from the charm of the place. The highlight was the entertainer Nitto, who made all the difference during our stay. When he is around, the hotel becomes even more lively and fun, creating a contagious atmosphere of joy. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, always attentive and available. We will definitely return and hope to find Nitto again to enjoy more unforgettable moments. I highly recommend the hotel for its excellent location, welcoming environment, and wonderful staff!"

I booked this hotel for a friend’s 70th birthday. We were a group of 4 ladies and had a lovely stay at this hotel. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which was lovely and big with amazing views of the pool and the sea. Rooms are very dated but very clean. We had an awful smell in our bathroom, reported it to reception and it was sorted out instantly. Food was good and a big shout out to the staff they were all very friendly and so helpful. Pool bar was excellent with a choice of baguettes, wraps, pizza and other bits. The only thing that let this hotel down for me is that when you check out at 12 o clock they cut your wrist band off so you have to pay for everything after that. I have never experienced this in all the years that I have been going all inclusive! If it wasn’t for the fact that you have to pay for everything when you have checked out I would have given hotel 5 stars.

Stayed here with a group of 8 people and everyone had a good time. We drove by car from Lisbon and were able to park the car right infront of our apartment free of charge which was great. The breakfast was good. The typical eggs,bacon and everything you would normally find at a hotel breakfast. Our apartment had a great balcony with amazing views. Short walk to the beach or the pool to relax on the sunbeds. Overall we had a good time and would recommend this place to young couples trying to have a good vacation in Albufeira.

Me and my partner went for a week and enjoyed an all inclusive stay but did not take advantage of the package as we like to travel the area, visit different restaraunts and basically used the hotel as a base. The food was superb for the price we paid and we had a few drinks in the morning and several in the evening, so we still got our moneys worth. During our stay we had 2 breakfasts and there was nothing missing, cereals, delicious fruit, the fry up choice, cheeses ham and salamis. The lunch and 2 dinners also had something for everybody. Anyone who dares to criticise this hotel for the quality or lack of variety would have to be pretty malicious or have ridiculous expectations and really should stay at home. The entertainment was pretty poor, but I can only guess it was due to the recent opening of the hotel and acts are not yet in place because other peoples comments claim the entertaiment was excellent, so I think our experience can be ignored. However the Elvis act was good and the guy can sing and the Portuguese traditional dancers were amazing. The rest of the entertaiment was pretty cringe. The facilities were great and the staff were all very pleasant. Andre the French barman was great and very friendly and as my partner is French, it was nice for her to converse in her language. "Merci André pour un service aussi merveilleux et amical y obrigados a tudos os otros meninos e meninas que trabalhan atras del bar" They were all great as were the dining room staff. However, I do have a negative. It is difficult to find your way around the complex when you first arrive, especially at night. There does need to be better signing to help people find their way around. Secondly, despite being very friendly and always prepared to assist, they were not helpful giving information of public services like local transport, apart from giving us a pretty useless map. But Andre the barman put us straight and basically the bus services are poor but then just book an uber to Albufeira train station for about 6 Euros and you can spread your wings. We went to Faro and Lagos. Again, lack of knowledge could also be due to staff not being local to the area and again the season has just started, so again hard to be too critical. Also, no day trips for people who want to see something else and are not too adventurous. Conclusion, brilliant place to stay, great food and staff. Probably, will not go back but thats because we like to go to different places, but definitely worthwhile returning.

Wat was het hier fijn! Mooie omgeving, fijn en een heel ruim appartement. Vooral de service was ook geweldig. Zeer behulpzaam personeel. We hadden wat problemen met de auto en ze hebben ons daar supergoed mee geholpen. Dankjewel allemaal!
