Where to Stay in Monte Gordo
We've been going to this hotel for a number of years and it's always nice to see the same welcoming people at reception. The hotel is always kept in great condition and the included breakfast has gotten better. Great location, quiet with Spar right across the street.

Hotel room was a good size with an extra large balcony. There is an option to have your room serviced every day, we found the hotel to be very clean. The beach is a couple of minutes away as is restaurants, cafes and bars. The pool area is fine and there was always sunbeds available. There was also a good choice for breakfast.

Parking is a problem
Our main problem was the lack of parking, which was an important criteria for us when we booked. The receptionist just shrugged her shoulders we we pointed out that we booked a hotel with parking. The hotel’s car park only has 39 spaces and was full for our two day stay. We were put on a waiting list but never achieved a parking space. The nearby on street parking has a four hour maximum stay between 09.00-22.00 and the machine only takes coins. We were forced to get change and then keep returning to our vehicle every four hours which became restrictive of what we could do in a four hour window.
