Pure Monchique Hotel - by Unlock Hotels

It is a very nice hotel with "european standards" in comparison with many others in the region. The uneven rooms have a view on the small valley formed by the beautiful village. The restaurant is very good and the buffet breakfast is a qualitative continental one. The thermal facilities are only 200 m from the hotel. These are a bit outdated and would need a refurbishment (call for donation from people who don't know what to do with their money) but have the "charm" of the old "sanatoriums". That means we won't stay a day long but 1-2 hours, just the time to taste the sweetness of the Monchique water. We were mid-march and it was really quite. We hope that during the summer it is busier, because this location, the quality of the hotel, the very old and traditional thermal facilities, the beauty of this small village, ... must survive ! The nature all around is just stunning !!! Small detail that can be important : if you travel by bike, the hotel offers a safe small room inside to store it.

Good breakfast, very nice room, parking in front of the door, fantastic bed, very clean and recently refurbished room.

The actual reception is at the Hotel Central which is close but not in the same building. The entrance of this hotel has no cozy atmosphere and is quite neglected. Breakfast is not in the same building. There is no room service and there is not even a water boiler to make tea in the room. The terrace is very sunny and there is no protection to sit outside with ease.

Stunning surroundings, charming historic buildings with modern decor, well-maintained gardens, pool, and exceptional spa. The staff was above and beyond helpful and friendly- and they even upgraded my room free of charge due to a misunderstanding from my booking. Excellent value! The all you can eat dinners are a different theme each night too. Amazing included breakfast! I highly recommend the Central Suites

It was all amazing. No complaints at all!

The location was excellent, stunning scenery. The room we had looked over to the mountains. the pool area was also very lovely. The restaurant was also very nice and staff helpful.

My only slight concern is round the pool area, you needed the umbrellas because of the sun, but they were not very secure in the base (even after being tightened) one was actually taken by a gust of wind and I was hit on the head by the pole. so maybe some new umbrellas?

The location, the comfort , the facilities in general, the buffet breakfast.

The breakfast time was too early, there wasn’t a mini fridge (the bottle water were hot , Only warm water rushed out from the cold side of the shower and tap 🚰 ). The room floor wasn’t so clean . The cafeteria was a bit far from the hotel it would have been nicer in the same building.

Excellent customer service, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely personalised message on arrival and complimentary bottle of wine at dinner. Loved the tranquility of the location too.

I didn't have any dislikes

It was a clean, nice modern decorated room. I have a view of the sun in the morning. I had to perform somewhere, but I enjoyed it!

The bathroom could be more modern.

The room, the cleanliness, the staff

The breakfast coyld have have more variety of products. Other than that nothing

Marcel who checked us in was very professional, kind and helpful; he went out of his way to make sure we knew where everything was and that we were well taken care of! Thank you for the great service at your beautiful resort!
