“A unique concept brought from the heart”

Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

Longevity Wellness Resort offers a unique concept for health & wellbeing. The staff is extremely friendly and hardworking.

“Disappointing.”

Reviewed 24 May 2012

The center suffers from several major flaws. Unlike the Sha Center in Spain, this facility has lost its focus. Part medical spa, part hotel, part vacation resort. They should have established clarity of purpose and their market. Unfortunately, when you are running at very low occupancy in a recession, you are tempted to try a mish-mash of disjointed approaches. It... More

We went there for lunch only with no booking. Great service, wonderful food, stunning views and reasonable prices (for what it is). What's not to like. Would go there again.

We’re so glad you enjoyed lunch at Longevity Cuisine by Olivier! We’re often able to accommodate guests without a reservation. Next time, stay a few days and enjoy our Spa, too! With warm wishes for wellness, Longevity Management More

I stayed here for a week in a twin bedded suite and had a great time. As the other reviews have said the suites are lovely and comfortable with pretty much everything you'll need. The kitchen was well equiped and spotless, lounge area comfortable and beds were also comfy which I've found not to be the case in 4* hotels... More

My wife and I have just returned from a 7 night stay through Voyage Prive (check this out) on a b&b basis. The hotel facilities, staff, service and accommodation was first class. We only ever stay in 5 star facilities across the world, and this place merits its 5 star status. Food was first class, the breakfast had everything you... More

“Longevity Monchique”

Reviewed 19 March 2012

Stayed from the 10th to the 17th of March 2012 at Longevity Monchique. Pateo Suites lack privacy as it faces the other suites across it. All 195 rooms are suites. We were up graded to a coastline view with large garden terrace. The view were great and the living room/kitchen were large. The bed very comfortable and wide, 2m, with... More

Since you enjoyed our spa treatments, you might want to try one of our more indepth health and wellness programs next time. As you discovered, Monchique is quite charming and one of the Algarve’s hidden gems. We look forward with pleasure to welcoming... More

Returned today from the Longevity after an incrediby cheap deal through Travel Republic, we are still incredulous that the price we paid afforded such a luxurious 5* hotel! The hotel is unmissable, coming up from the Portimao road towards Monchique, about an hours drive from Faro airport. Despite arriving 3 hours earlier than check in stated, there was no problem...

This was my second stay at the Longevity Wellness Resort Monchique, after a near perfect first stay last year I cautious about returning. Would they be able to replicate their first performance which I thought was probably due to the ‘honeymoon’ period of a new business, but I was pleasantly surprised!! On arrival the staff were welcoming and as helpful... More

This is such a strange place. On the one hand the accomodation is very nice, the staff are fine and the views are lovely, On the other hand the facilities are strangely poor (did they run out of money?), the treatments wildly expensive, the so-called 'vitality' classes are extremely variable in quality, and there are no dedicated walking paths (unlike...
