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.

The Monchique Resort and Spa was everything and more that we expected. We were welcomed by a very pleasant staff and shown around the resort. We arrived a bit early and the front desk worked at getting us an updated room asap. In fact they had one ready when we returned from our tour. Room was spacious with a beautiful view. We took advantage of a morning hike with a Monchique staff and it was a excellent. The Spa, which we booked, was outstanding. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had no complaints and commented on how everyone working at the Spa was so happy and helpful.

Wonderful stay in the mountains with an ocean view

The hotel is situated in the Monchique mountain region. We booked a panoramic suite which gave us views all the way to Portimao and the ocean- wonderful. The hotel is very nice , clean and modern and very well equipped. The staff are doing a great job and are very friendly. This is a perfect stay for families with small children as the hotel facilities are great for all members of the family. The SPA is really relaxing and wonderfully built and equipped with numerous showers and steam rooms. This is a perfect stay if you are tired of the loud and arrogant tourists in the all inclusive resorts- so if you are one of those don’t go here - this is a quiet and relaxing mountain resort with hiking possibilities and to enjoy nature. The restaurants and bars offer a wide variety of local produce and drinks that are fantastic and a must try.

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!
