Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Monte Gordo

Asked you for two villas near each other, one with a pool and one without, however this is not possible. The pool villas are entirely separate. We were supposed to have been informed about this but we were not.. Luckily they had a pool villa vacant close to the other one and they let us have that. I think it was you who were supposed to tell us as they did not have our email address. Otherwise everything was good pwith our holiday in spite of a worring start. And at 80 plus years old you don't want that !

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was beside apartment. This accommadation was great. A very clean spacious apartment. It had everything we needed to use. This was our first apartment on our holiday in Spain and Portugal. There was a great supermarket in castro marim. In hind sight we would have stocked up on small butter cubes and individual laundry washing powder sachets. Only place in Spain and Portugal we saw them! Had a nice big clothes rack. It was a nice location out in the countryside. When we were there in October, there weren't many other people around so very quite. Sadly this meant bar facilities at golf club were closed the days we were there. We went along to Tavira which was a great day trip in car. We also checked out the fort at castro marim which was interesting and had great veiws. Only 1 entrance so make sure you know where to head before you end up doing a lap of whole hill in the heat!!! We enjoyed using the pool. We had views overlooking the pool area through the pine trees. Very relaxing. We would return here.

the house was exactly like the pictures, very clean and comfortable. The pool is big and chairs were available the whole time. The house was very close to the pool, which was great. The site is very quiet, ideal to relax. The distance to the beach is manageable if you travel with a car.

Located just short of the border with Spain, and about 40 minutes from Faro airport, this is part of the Algarve yet to be over developed. Very quiet location although it must be noted early May isn't height of the season! Staff were extremely courteous and helpful; when we arrived our villa wasn't ready (they have 2 & 3 bed villas as well as villas with pools) so we were offered a drink whilst we waited; after 15 minutes we were escorted to our villa (which is necessary if your first visit because quite a way from the reception) and very impressed with the standard of accommodation. Unfortunately the main clubhouse is currently being refurbished but from the outside looks very elegant; the temporary clubhouse is functional but it would be unfair to judge Castro Marim G&CC on this as they are obviously working very hard to get the work finalised as soon as possible. For a golfing holiday, family break (fabulous beaches only 10 minute drive away) or just a few days away in the sun this is an ideal location. We will be back!

Resort is very nice, house was great, pool and snack bar also very nice. There is no cleaning during stay but it was ok. I was surprised trash cans for plastics, glas etc were locked and they provided information they dont use it. I have seen sorting trash cans almost everywhere in Portugal but here it was just "for image". There is almost everything in house but no thing lke tablet to dishwasher. You have to go to reception and buy one... But overall it was very nice stay and I can recommand it to everyone.

We had a fantastic stay at this villa. It wouldn't be for everyone as it's very 'homely' and some things are not in perfect condition eg some chairs and the kitchen fittings - but this is very adequately reflected in the price. This DID NOT in any way reduce our enjoyment, particularly the outside areas including the pool and upstairs balcony (off the main bedroom) with the most amazing view towards Spain. Shaded parking was welcome and the quiet location was perfect for us. Kitchen was well equiped, bedding was provided, aircon worked well and we loved the laundry area - very useful for families.

The pool area is really clean and direct access to the beach. The good part was there were not almost no kids so you could relax next to the pool without screaming etc. Variety of different dishes for breakfast and dinner with a wine bottle offered by the hotel. Recommend you to reserve the free spa with a Turkish bath and sauna.

Very friendly greeting at reception, plus we’d been upgraded. The room was excellent with an exceptional shower room. Fabulously comfortable bed and pillows. Fantastic views of the beach & sea from our room. Very good buffet breakfast, wide choice of food available. Pool area was lovely - very clean & sun beds always available. Pool was perfect temperature.

Der Empfang im Hotel war freundlich und der Checkin verlief relativ unkompliziert und schnell. Der Gesamteindruck des Hotels war gut und gepflegt. Klar, es gibt Hotels die weitaus moderner aufgestellt/eingerichtet sind. Für uns war es leicht über unseren Erwartungen. Unsere Zimmer waren sehr sauber und wurde auch täglich sauber gehalten. Der Außen-/Poolbereich wurde auch täglich gereinigt und aufgeräumt und das Wasser im Pool war sauber. Das Publikum war eher im oberen Altersdurchschnitt, gefolgt von Familien mit Kindern - für uns passend. Das Frühstücksbuffet war ausreichend und qualitativ gut, jedoch ohne abwechselnde Speisen. An der Snackbar kann man Mittags eine kleine Auswahl an Speisen zu sich nehmen - Preise vergleichbar wie in D. Das Abendessen wurde nicht probiert, da wir auswärts gespeist haben - es gibt einige Möglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Nähe. Sehr gut hat uns der Weg zum Strand gefallen, welcher sicher über Holzstege verlief und gepflegt war. Der Strand an sich ist super und sauber. Es können Sonnenschirme-/liegen angemietet werden - 18€/Tag. Wir haben uns 20m weiter direkt an den Sandstrand gelegt - hier sollte ein Schattenspender mitgebracht werden da keine Bäume/Palmen/etc. existieren. Uns als Familie hat der Aufenthalt gut gefallen.

The only hotel in this area, established for many years. Access onto the beach from the grounds within a short walk. Considering the hotel was full it did not feel over-crowded (fairly busy at meal times). Cleanliness of the pool & surrounding area was second to none. Buffet style evening meals (or a la carte option), and breakfast, did not disappoint in variety, selection or freshness. Old style Portugal, unspoiled local area (but within a taxi drive, or long walk, you can access other towns which are perhaps ‘more vibrant’, but that wasn’t our choice, we loved the simplicity of where this hotel is, the fresh fish and beautiful sandy beach. All rooms have a sea view (and you see the fishermen out each night catching their wares). Fabulous.

The Eurotel is one of those rare locations where you find yourself coming back for a second or even third time. It's well situated within a very short walking distance to town center where you can find a variety of restaurants. The facility has a great pool area with food and bar service available and if you prefer there's a lovely beach just a few minutes away. You won't be disappointed in the facilities and the staff are attentive and helpful whenever you need them. A great place to relax and enjoy the sun.

Lovely hotel in a great location, very close to Spanish border. Lots of pretty towns between Monte Gordo and Faro. Hotel staff are wonderful! So helpful and friendly! Rooms are spacious, modern, and comfortable. The food is excellent with lots of choice (meals are buffet style). There is a nice pool with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. The pool bar also serves snacks. Public areas of the hotel are tastefully decorated, and there is music in the lounge most nights (music starts at 9.30pm.) Reception staff are particularly friendly. David, Christina, Carlos and Sylvina in particular. Hotel is spotlessly clean. Montegordo is a quiet resort with a very nice beach, restaurants , bars, and shops. The nearby town of Vila Real de Santo Antonio is charming and has superb seafood restaurants. Os Arcos is especially good. We visited Vila Real several times (less than 5 euros by Uber) and one day took the ferry across to Ayamonte in Spain. (Ferry takes 15 minutes, costs 2.50 euros each way, no passport needed). We also visited Tavira, Santa Luzia (great for octopus) and Olhao (famous fish market and seafood restaurants). The waiters in the hotel are all really nice. Special thanks to Jose, Miguel, Tiago, Manuel and Ricardo. We really enjoyed our stay and would return. Recommended for families and all age groups .

Friendly staff, parking, amazing pool and pool area. Good location, great value for money these days.

The staff was very friendly and helpful - particularly the bar, restaurant, and pool staff. The breakfast was great. The dinner buffet too. The pool and surrounding areas might be the part that surprised us the most, in a very good way.

Good location, allocated room with lovely sea views. Great daily choice of breakfast items. Fair price and decent buffet dinner. Clean pool and nice pool area

The room was nice and comfortable, we had a balcony with a sea view. The breakfast had great offer and the food was really nice. We also enjoyed the swimming pool and the spa, everything was great! The hotel is very nicely located within walking distance from the beach and restaurantes

2 day stay whilst we took a boat trip up the Rio Gurdiana. First visit to VRSA so great chance to look around and get to know the town. Very impressed. The AL was in a perfect position to explore the town just a few yards from the harbour and marina and a few yards to the town and lots of restaurants and shops. The lodging was very clean and we were warmly welcomed. The room was immaculate but sadly the reception was not always staffed and when we needed help on the two occasions there was no one there. There was a note giving a number in case of emergency but we didn’t think our desire to buy a coffee capsule for the coffee machine and my need for a hairdryer were emergencies. There should have been a hair dryer in the room but I didn’t check until it was too late to ask. Not really an issue. There was a very nice kitchen dining room on the top floor with access to a lovely roof terrace with seating. The kitchen was very well equipped but it would have helped if the reception had mentioned the need to buy the capsules for the Dolce Gusto machine. We would definitely come back again to Villa Marquez. We would recommend it to others.

The property was very pleasant indeed. The staff welcomed me and were always cheerful. The room was perfectly adequate for my needs and was cleaned every day. All equipment worked perfectly. The bathroom was small, but adequate. I am a big lad, but still managed fine. Towels were clean and replaced every day. Perhaps even more importantly; the shower worked well and had hot water. The rooftop seating area was lovely and faced the sun for most of the day. There was a nice kitchen area with microwave, kettle and a fridge to enable you to prepare your own food and beverages if required A supermarket was a 5 minute walk away. The main shopping and restaurants area is very close, as is the very picturesque harbour frontage. The bus station is less than 100m away and the railway station less than 15 mins walk. All in all a very pleasant stay and an experience that I intend to repeat in the not too distant future.

I loved to stay here, will definitely stay every time I go to the zone. From the beginning was perfect, arrived too early (10am) to check in and they were really nice and since the room was already ready they allowed us to go to it straight away when he didn't had to (check in was at 3pm). This saved us from walking around with our bags for 5h. The owner and staff are also really good people, always ready to help and even give good tips for the holiday. Amazing cozy place at the top with a big balcony, perfect to bring food and eating there, wonderful view and very peaceful at any time of the day or night, it's almost like a private heaven. If I could give a bigger rating I would. Thank you to everyone for a great perfect stay. I'll be back soon 😀

Great place to stay. Very close to center of Vila Real de Santo Antonio. Very close to bars, cafes, restaurants, buses, small walk to the train station and bigger supermarkers. 10/15 minutes. Great transport links, trains to Faro and beyond and a ferry to Spain. Staff were grand, shower great and the bed was very comfy. A 24 minutes walk would get you today fabulous beach where you can walk to Monte Gordo. Beach is about 7 miles long. You can also walk through the trees or at side of a safe road. The walk along the river front is also very good, very close to a salt marsh nature reserve, much bird life. The guest house also has a room terrace with seats. So you can sit eating lunch etc. VRSA is a lovely wee town with occasional markets and a lot of shops to browse through. Cheers 😁😁

Really enjoyed our stay in this traditional little guest house right in the centre of the lovely border town of Vila Real de S. Antonio. Only 5 minutes on foot to the Spanish ferry, 20 mins from the train station and in a quiet street just off the bustling main square. The building is in the old town so not luxurious but it’s been beautifully maintained and has a restful ambiance - felt at home right away. The small room was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated & even had a good range of TV channels. The bathroom was very small but we managed fine (and we’re 75) though if you had disability or weight issues it could be a problem. We really loved the roof terrace, had our breakfast there, where the hosts have thoughtfully provided a mini kitchen for guests use. Ticked all my boxes and will definitely return!!

Everything was there that we needed. A great location with sea view & easy access to the boardwalk & beach. Easy to book in at reception, nice rooms with balcony, lovely pool with pool bar, excellent dining room & bar.

The service, the attention from the employees, it is is in a unique physical situation, rooms are ok for a 3 stars hotel, the swimming pool is fantastic and very good breakfast!

On the beach , great pools with lots of sun beds and gardens.

Big hotel with lots of facilities. Friendly reception. Located next to the beach. Large heated pool. Breakfast. Good value

Very retro and right in the beach. The garden and pool area was neatly kept.
