Its clean &modern but not 5* its a bit disjointed and confusing with lifts and blocks. We were lucky we had an amazing view, but lots didnt. We had ants in our kitchen area and bathroom. Only 1 restaurant in main building was all inclusive the other 2 werent - which is nothing ive heard of! Cant get a drink from a paying bar, have to go upstairs to get served! Ridiculous- nothing for children to do of an evening so they seem to get in the way of other guests, or staff, but a 5* would have an area for them to be, its sold as all inclusive and for families.

Pas mal mais cela ne vaut pas les 5 étoiles !

C’est plus un 4 étoiles qu’un 5 étoiles. Personnel accueillant et agréable. Les piscines extérieures sont très bien. Dommage que l’on ait pas accès à la piscine intérieure sauf à réserver un soin SPA. Les chambres sont spacieuses mais la climatisation ne fonctionnait pas dans notre chambre (ils ont trouvé une solution en mettant une Clim portable mais pour un 5 étoiles cela reste décevant !) Les produits salle de bain n’étaient pas suffisants pour une famille de 4 personnes.

Nice hotel with lovely staff and great facilities. It is showing its age and a little tired in some areas since our last visit 7 years ago. The hotel has changed hands and in new ownership. Pool and most areas were very clean and tidy. Dining options are limited and expensive so we dine elsewhere but the breakfast was plentiful and fresh.

Love Monchique resort & spa, clean, staff are very welcoming especially Pedro the guest relations manager. Very big room with 2 bathrooms & a great view with a terrace. Full amenities in the room just missing a washing machine for the clothes. 2 pools & a gym with fitness classes. Beautiful surroundings, great hotel, I would definitely suggest it or even go back, thank you Monchique resort & spa, we loved our stay the Pereira family!

Very quiet, relaxing and nice open spaces. We had a suite with patio/terrace and it was so nice - a great interior space with a mini kitchen with high end appliances and a giant exterior terrace with lounge chairs. I'd say the only negative was the truly terrible pizza at the on-site pizza restaurant. But that's easy to skip by driving up to Monchique for better food.

Schönes Hotel in den Bergen von Monchique. Ohne Auto wahrscheinlich eher schlecht erreichbar. Mit Auto ist man schnell in Portimão, dort gibt es einige Restaurants und eine Promenade. Gleich in der Nähe gibt es ein paar nette, kleine Lokale. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und groß mit Wohnküche, Schlafzimmer extra und 2 Badezimmer. Der Spa Bereich kostet pro Person 25 Euro für 2 Stunden und muss reserviert werden. Dies war bei Expedia falsch angegeben (35 pro Tag) und das Hotel hat hier schnell weitergeholfen und eine Lösung gefunden!
