Grand Muthu Forte do Vale

Defo not a 5 star hotel-very dated and all mouldy seal round bath. All inclusive food not great. We had to leave a credit card copy at check in and told we wouldn’t be charged- but we were charged £100 after getting home so had to ring trip.com to sort it

一般一般 不推薦

Super entertainment… with good interaction between public. Never a dull moment He captures the spirit of art and entertainment 100 pct Accompanied by a lovely assistant that does her own tricks as well Time flies looking at the show… Only the soundsystem needs an upgrade!

The hotel is outstanding. Beautiful apartment. The staff are amazing. You can eat at several speciality restaurants if you are all inclusive...recommended! A big thank you to Marcio and Amdreia, who looked after us at the bar. Andrea, special thank you for the lovely G&T xxx

We just got back from our 5 night short break yesterday. Is the hotel a 5 star? Not by British standards but I would say it is similar to many 4 stars that we have stayed in around the world. Now that’s out of the way, for our review: The good - the room was clean & had everything we needed and more. The cleaning staff were lovely and always smiling. The pool entertainment was a good laugh even just to watch & the 4 entertainers were great. The pool bar tender Christiano (sorry if spelt wrong) was friendly & remembered us each day. The sauna was heavenly after a workout at the gym which although small does have everything you need. The lady on the spa reception whose name I didn’t catch was friendly and always said hi. The main reception staff were helpful & friendly. We went to the Piccadilly bar most nights and the entertainment was great (make sure you catch the sax player he was amazing, reminded me of an Ibiza one!) Vinicius (again probably spelt wrong so my apologies) was by far the best bartender we have come across in our travels. He truly is this hotels biggest asset in our opinion as he remembered us after our first order & had great banter while serving. Everyone we spoke to said similar remarks about him which speaks extremely highly to please so many people. As we had a night flight coming & going we missed the dinner session but they let us have dinner the day we left even after checkout which isn’t always a guarantee we have found so we were very happy about that. The bad - not even bad really but maybe some things (nit-picking really) which we thought we should mention so could possibly be fixed to make this a 5 star :) The pool itself had a few loose tiles towards the waterfall part, the spa needs some updates as it’s a bit dated and finally the bar needs more seating & the plants can block your view of the stage. All of these didn’t cause any issues but as above fixing this could mean the resort is a 5 star. For visitors bear in mind there’s a refundable 100 euro deposit, they refund it when you check out so this just something to bear in mind. Also not all drinks are part of the all inclusive but they had their version of most spirits and the lager was great! From both of us we want to say thank you to the staff for making our holiday so memorable and for going above & beyond.

Hotel is beautiful even the rooms but the entertainment was by far the best experience the photos I selected was a darts tournament was really fun even though I never played darts but still fun unfortunately came last and had to jump in the pool

Dayana & Edgar were the best pool hosts I've experienced! We came for a friend's birthday party and have left feeling spoilt - amazing staff, great food (especially the cheese pasta) and overall a fiver star experience 🥰 we will definitely be back ☺️

Lovely relaxing holiday and great facilities- my and my son went away for 7 days at the beginning of June; the weather was cloudy but otherwise hot. Good food and drink (all inclusive drinks not bad either). The staff and entertainment team were great (not too in your face)- big shout out to Edgar and Dayana for making it enjoyable. Would definitely go back

Hotel: This is our 2nd visit to this hotel and it was a good one again. – This is a honest review. All staff are amazing – they cannot do enough to help you. Girls on the pool bar were lovely. Except - the guy round the pool needs to accept that he doesn’t need to shout when using a microphone and the evening bar man needs a rocket up his backside, slow is an understatement I could have walked back to Manchester and made my own drink. Food is fine we ate in a lot but for me the problem was the drinks. I have allergies and can’t drink Coke Zero, the range of alcohol was terrible so couldnt switch to Sprite so we ended up at the local shop for a bottle of pernod and sat on the balcony each night. I have to say, never had this issue before ive always found something I could drink at other AI– but I guess that’s just a me thing. Rooms were massive and lovely balcony big as well, but the bathrooms are in dire need of an update the shower was awful and sprayed all over the room soaking everything in its way also a tatty shower curtain in a 5* hotel, seriously. Everything you need in the kitchen including washer and dishwasher, big fridge and freezer. Cleaner came in everyday, fresh towels etc Pool area was great, tbh the photos don’t do it justice its proper lovely, music on but not too loud, it didnt intrude on your conversation. Evening entertainment was ok, nowhere near as good as previous visit. Blooming heck the big chairs outside the bar were so uncomfy we ended up sitting at the dining tables. All in all – will we return, I don’t know at this point. They are charging 5* price for a 4* hotel, everything was just good, not fantastic. However saying that, the area will probably drag us back to the Fort Do Vale as there was way more positives than negatives. Area: It definitely our favourite, lovely little shops, restaurants a short walk, Bella Canela was amazing, we went for a cake treat, ended up with cocktails and sambuca in the sunshine. Road train stop outside hotel, 6 euro for a day pass hop on/hop off, lots of taxi’s and TUK TUK’s bobbing past constantly. It worked out at 3.50 euro in a taxi to the old town. TUK TUKs – they are pricey considering the price of a taxi, it was £10 to the old town and £15 to the marina. However, do it, it was a mix of excitement but also absolutely fear. Bobbing around the back streets of the old town was fantastic. Marina, our first visit and well worth it – lovely and relaxing afternoon, shops and bars. We ate at Fat Cats because there was a guy singing, blooming heck the prices were amazing value and the burger meal was that big we couldn’t finish it. Old town we ate in restaurant El rancho twice. First was lunch had the chicken fajitas to share, then 6 cocktails and 2 desserts came to 73 euro. That good we went for evening meal later in the week, I had the biggest piece of sword fish with a sauce/chips salad, my friend had the same but chicken, 2 cocktails and that was 54 euro. TBH t
