“Excellent location, beautiful beach, great places to eat locally, hotel breakfast was brilliant. Was there with my family of 4 kids. They loved it. Pools are brilliant and good food ice lollies etc at pool bar. Staff very helpful. Room was great we stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment. It was very big and the shower was brilliant. Very clean and maid service every day to clean bathrooms floors etc fresh towels and change beds.”

“Stayed 5 nights half board Great selection of fresh food every morning and evening, buffet, location is as good as it gets in monto gordo, swimming pool immaculate”

“From the welcome on arrival to the convenience of parking, the cheerfulness of all the staff and the excellence of breakfast, everything conspired to make our nostalgic trip back to our honeymoon hotel fifty years ago a memorable and happy experience - and I've not even mentioned the courtesy bottle of wine! Thank you to all!”

“I absolutely love this hotel. I used to stay at this hotel with my family when I was small. We came every year. Now I'm the one coming with my partner and it always meets or exceeds expectations. It's a great three star hotel; excellent value for money. I love that it has some luxary remaining cozy and comfortable. The staff is amazing - the most friendly of all hotels I've been to in Algarve. Lastly, I value that management is always trying to improve. I've seen constant change for the past ten years. Constant improvements both in terms of facilities and services.”

“Walking distance from the beach Free parking for the hotel guests We were on the 5th floor at first where rooms need an upgrade. We asked to change rooms and staff helped us find a nicer room on the 3rd floor (picture) I would recommend the sea view (instead of the street view) even if you pay more for it. Good size pool Mini golf and tennis court”

“Location,Staff.The way Hotel was coping with Covid 19 requirements in restaurant and elsewhere.”

“I loved the location although next time I would ask for a room nearer the lift. My husband has difficulty walking and we could not have been further away! The food was great and plentiful. The room was immaculate. Would have liked a kettle to make a wee cuppa but a fridge was great. Also liked the free and secure wifi which was a real bonus. Your colleagues are delightful. Always willing to help and so kind. Jorge in particular in the dining room. We kept forgetting our masks but he was patient and kind in reminding us. We need to do better with masks not him. Our 46th Wedding Anniversary was celebrated in style. Thank you Vasco de Gama Hotelxx The three photos I have added of the town were because the idea of these three villas completely surrounded by hotel or apartment blocks must have a story to tell. Did they refuse to sell to developers? Who knows but just a nice bit of intrigue!”
