"Very clean and new hotel. The carpets in the hallways were brilliant - well thought out to make wheeled suitcases easy to pull; also stylish. Bed was super comfortable, AC very effective, room was kept immaculately clean by friendly cleaning staff. Friendly staff served breakfast and in the roof top bar which was amazing, with 360degree views. Dipping pool and sun loungers were well-used; hard to get a lounger in time! Downside: some very odd management decisions. Despite description on Trip there was no cafe, no lunch or dinner and not even bar snacks! I rang on the 2nd day to ask for a bottle of water … response “Madam, this is a 3* hotel. You only get a bottle of water on your first day”!! Bizarre. I was able to buy a $0.99 bottle from the bar for €2.50! Breakfast: the ubiquitous coffee machine producing the most disgusting coffee - I tried all of them! In the end I risked tea and even the hot water had scum on it. I know I was not alone … bacon - HP sauce standing proud like a statue - no sausages, cooked tomato, fried egg etc! Pancakes and waffles - no syrup! Nice fresh bread rolls and croissants. Sliced cheese and packaged ham. Selection of cereals, orange juice and good selection of fruit. After 5 breakfasts I got fed up. WARNING - I was asked to give them my debit card to pay - she wrote down all the details! After I thought - why? I asked why - she said do they could charge me after I left if anything was missing or broken. I was assured this was legal in Portugal! I told them that was what “checkout” was for! I froze my card but I was really angry and when I have time to get a replacement I will need to cancel it! Balcony nice but only looked onto other rooms! Looking down - WHY NO GARDEN???!!! Just rooftops. I recommend a 4 hour boat trip …. Maybe 30m pleasant walk. Also hire bikes and go to the Nature Reserve - don’t miss Roman Salt Pits and beach crabs ….😊"

"Fabulous Hotel We found Vila Monte a beautiful and peaceful place with The best service we have received in along time The team here made our stay so special and helped us celebrate our Wedding Anniversary The standard of Food was exceptional and we felt so much at home here We will return for a longer stay soon Thank you To All at Vila Monte"

"The rooms are generally quite good value for money with all the basic essentials. The service was generally quite good though some staff were noticeably more friendly than others. The location is ok but a bit of a walk from the marina and the ferries to the islands. The one major disappointment but this may have not been any fault of the hotel was the power cuts. There were several in one day and three of those occurred in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. You might be thinking well, if we were asleep, how did it affect us? Well, when the power cuts off the emergency lights kick in. When they came on, it woke us up. I understand the need for emergency lighting, but on that particular night we really didn’t sleep very night"

"This hotel is a little gem. very clean and within good walking distance for bars and restaurants. Breakfast was freshly cooked bacon and eggs and a variety of breads and continental meats. But the best thing about this place is the STAFF. They are polite, cheerful , helpful and all very knowledgeable about the area. Its an ideal spot for exploring or just relaxing. I will be returning hopefully in September and am really looking forward to staying there again."

"A little slice of heaven in the countryside. Beautiful property with comfortable rooms and everything you'd need to relax. The gardens and pool were gorgeous. I ate dinner at the restaurant and it was a gourmet experience. 3 courses for 20 Euro's. But it wasn't the money, it was wonderful. The staff were very nice and the property was spotless. Highly recommend."

"Nice and clean hotel with top location. Balcony with Marina- and seaviews. Good beddings. Free parking. Very good service over all. Recommendable hotel."

"Very bad experience. The hotel is 5 star but the 2 bedroom suites conditions is poor and separate from the hotel. Water tank is too small to have a hot shower."
