Monchique Holidays

Nice and quiet place.

Excellent staff. Great location. Short walk to sandy beach. Only negative is that it was a little remote from town.

Lovely hotel in a great location. Close to plenty of places to eat and the beach. Staff were really helpful and attentive, helped arrange boat trips and taxis for us making the whole trip a lot easier. Had a fab stay. Food at the breakfast buffet was great, lots of healthy choices and had daily specials cooked fresh. Only comment would be about cleanliness, room generally was clean but a couple of things like grouting in the shower and that the room didn’t get cleaned throughout our stay. We got fresh towels and bedding daily but nothing else in the room was cleaned. We didn’t get new glassware or have used cups/teapots removed. Not a major at all and didn’t impact our stay but felt like this would have made it feel a bit more five star. Also be aware that the shower and toilet area is in a glass box with no privacy screen 😂

The location is perfect, but for a five star resort unfortunately it falls short especially in the properties. We stayed in a two bedroom Town House which on arrival looked fantastic, but soon noticed the poor condition internally. The living room had several loose floor tiles large chunks of plaster missing from walls and the skirting boards in an awful condition. The handrails for the stairs was a worry though they had definitely been coming away from the wall at some point and silicon had been used to try and hold the rail in place which wasn't working and clearly this is something they should address for safety purposes. Jacuzzi in each bathroom didn't work shower fixings broken or missing in each bathroom. Main bedroom balcony patio door lock was broken and the outside light didn't work.

Very lovely hotel! Location was perfect for walking around Tavira. Room was lovely and clean and they even provided beach towels and a beach tote. Only small issue was my room was closer to the main stairs so there was quite a bit of hallway noise that you could hear from the room.
