Absolutely loved the stay at the Monte Real hotel! Its the best family friendly hotel we’ve stayed at so far! They have an animal farm, baby play room, table tennis, playstation room, inflatable castle, activities for kids, besides the regular swimming pool and spa. The staff is very friendly and flexible! (we asked to checkout later since our toddler only starts his nap at 12pm) Great overall experience! Would love to come back sometime in the future!

the only problem were the flies (proximity to the woods - which is also great!)

First and foremost, you're surrounded by nature. If you are planning to recharge your batteries, this is the perfect place to do it. Can't recommend the restaurant enough, we didn't feel like going out for dinner and it was the best decision we made. PS, if you do eat in, try the Raffaelos. They are otherworldly.

That's not on the hotel itself but on the location, but Monte Real has very little to offer. However, if you're just planning to stay in and use the facilities, this stops being a problem. The minigolf was lacking in maintenance.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here. Of course, the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful with beautiful views of nature. The town of Monte Real is also very very charming. What really stands out though is the kindness of the entire staff. They were so helpful and considerate throughout our entire stay. I would also like to mention that the quality of the food in the restaurant was brilliant and such a great selection for both the dinner/breakfast buffet and the a-la-carte options.

Do not have very much to comment on here. Overall the stay was great. The only thing that if I want to be picky is that although the team is very accommodating with any missing items (such as a phone charger, toiletries, sewing kits, etc), they do not deliver to the room and we had to go to the front desk to pick them up. Not an issue at all but had to keep my kids alone in the room when we had to run down.

Good size rooms with comfortable beds. Friendly breakfast crew. Refreshing lemonade in the reception area - a nice welcoming touch upon arrival. Central position; nice for a walk around the town. Lively area - other bars/ cafés in the area.

Food and beverage staff tend to 'hide' out of sight; you then hear them, mostly having a great time (sometimes there are discussions), but there is no line of sight/ eye contact possible. You often have to go fetch them from some passage leading (probably) to the kitchen area...

I was doing a walking pilgrimage from Aveiro to Our Lady of Fatima. Most hotels along the route were all fully booked for my first night stay so I found this one. It was 20kms off my route but it was so worth it. The hotel is beautiful. Very traditional and grand from the outside and wonderfully modern on the inside. Nice large rooms and very very large bathroom. This was perfect to get a good nights rest to restart my journey in the morning. Also if i had more time the whole town is super cute and will likely come back and visit again with more time to explore.

i was a bit disappointed that by the time i got there at 10pm the hotel restaurant was closed. I ordered room service but because the hotel restaurant was closed i was only able to get a couple of sandwiches to choose from.

I loved the clean white monogrammed sheets and the pillows and a huge bed especially for Portgual. The toilets robes and slippers were excellent and they had the champagne glasses in the room as requested. The Family Suite room 305 was absolutely perfect. Beautiful windows. Lots of space. Set up with the pullout sofa and cot all ready for us. The food was great in the dining room we had dinner for 4. The breakfast was amazing .. most of the hot items were too cold but lots of great selections and options. The pool and lounge chairs were excellent.

The poolside ciprarinhas were very expensive and small. 18€ for 2 The spa had no openings so disappointed we couldn’t get in for any treatments coming from Canada. Book in advance for sure!! Dinner service staff was a little slow.

Spacious rooms and very clean and well maintained hotel and green area around it. Beautiful spots just for the walks around. Spa area very relaxing and quiet

Breakfast could have bit more veggie choices and I'll suggest better pillows menu for the rooms.

Friendly staff, size of rooms, aircon, pillows, quality of sheets, clean. Decor, bar lounge, pool area.

Mattresses are the only complaint. They are very very hard and uncomfortable.

really nice property - high quality furniture and ambience; great bed and nice pool; very good restaurant; happy staff - can only recommend

in isolated countryside but otherwise very good - but you need a car and not much happening in that town - but very relaxing otherwise - a bit overpriced for similar quality properties in the countryside

everything and anything! the building, the lobby, the rooms, breakfast, the restaurant and especially the desserts, the spa and the stuff!

nothing!!!
