25euros + 3euros for a silly cap. Ok, and it's clean and has a good atmosphere. There is one mildly tepid pool of even chest depth and no in-pool seating. some good strong waterspouts and a small bubble area. Not long enough to swim. No jaccuzi/hottub. Small sauna and a odourous steamroom both a good temperature. So. Avoid this unless... More

This review about the termal complex only; we have not stayed in the hotel. The termal complex is not large, it only has one indoor pool with jets and one outdoor pool that is available to the hotel guests only. They also offer a series of treatments such as wraps, baths and massages. The treatments we had were conducted in... More

Beautiful setting away from the high-rise concrete on the Algarve. Administration staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant service very slow and occasionally indifferent. Our favourite hotel in this region.

We spent 3 nights at this hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed this stay. Very picturesque huddled in the mountains and very much like Portmerrion in North Wales (The Prisoner). A couple of the reviews on here are just about the Spa and probably do not do the hotels and general resort justice - although I appreciate many people will visit... More

Having visited quite a few spas on my travels, Monchique Spa is extremely disappointing. At 25 Euros each, plus 3 for a bathing cap (compulsory), it resembles a neglected hotel pool rather than the 'spa' you are promised. The 3 changing cubicles are in the same tiny room as the toilets and showers, which made for a soggy experience, as... More

We didn't stay at the hotel, but came to the Spa for the afternoon where four of us had booked massages. Two unsmiling receptionists informed us that no children under 12 were allowed, therefore our 9 year old couldn't use the facilities. No one had mentioned this over the phone. When we asked what he could do while we were... More

The staff were more than helpful and patient. The food was marvellous - some of the best we had in Portugal. The room was very comfortable. The public rooms were very comfortably furnished. Paths lead down the valley through the tropical gardens to the spa, past two outside pools. The spa had all sorts of treatments and a warm pool.... More

Stayed at the resort in September for one night. While the surrounds of the resort is quite nice, pretty and very well looked after we found the staff in charge of our check in very rude. We were made to feel like an inconvenience for them rather than valued clients . Service in the restaurant was also poor enough. Apart... More

This hotel is not actually in monchique which is about 5 miles away. It is more a complex of various lodging spots and I guess unless you pay for the suites its pretty much pot luck what you get. We were lucky and had a valley facing room in the high up building. Rooms really nice although not massive at... More
