Olhão da Restauração Hotels with Pools

„Very clean and new hotel. The carpets in the hallways were brilliant - well thought out to make wheeled suitcases easy to pull; also stylish. Bed was super comfortable, AC very effective, room was kept immaculately clean by friendly cleaning staff. Friendly staff served breakfast and in the roof top bar which was amazing, with 360degree views. Dipping pool and sun loungers were well-used; hard to get a lounger in time! Downside: some very odd management decisions. Despite description on Trip there was no cafe, no lunch or dinner and not even bar snacks! I rang on the 2nd day to ask for a bottle of water … response “Madam, this is a 3* hotel. You only get a bottle of water on your first day”!! Bizarre. I was able to buy a $0.99 bottle from the bar for €2.50! Breakfast: the ubiquitous coffee machine producing the most disgusting coffee - I tried all of them! In the end I risked tea and even the hot water had scum on it. I know I was not alone … bacon - HP sauce standing proud like a statue - no sausages, cooked tomato, fried egg etc! Pancakes and waffles - no syrup! Nice fresh bread rolls and croissants. Sliced cheese and packaged ham. Selection of cereals, orange juice and good selection of fruit. After 5 breakfasts I got fed up. WARNING - I was asked to give them my debit card to pay - she wrote down all the details! After I thought - why? I asked why - she said do they could charge me after I left if anything was missing or broken. I was assured this was legal in Portugal! I told them that was what “checkout” was for! I froze my card but I was really angry and when I have time to get a replacement I will need to cancel it! Balcony nice but only looked onto other rooms! Looking down - WHY NO GARDEN???!!! Just rooftops. I recommend a 4 hour boat trip …. Maybe 30m pleasant walk. Also hire bikes and go to the Nature Reserve - don’t miss Roman Salt Pits and beach crabs ….😊”

„Nice and clean hotel with top location. Balcony with Marina- and seaviews. Good beddings. Free parking. Very good service over all. Recommendable hotel.”

„This hotel is a little gem. very clean and within good walking distance for bars and restaurants. Breakfast was freshly cooked bacon and eggs and a variety of breads and continental meats. But the best thing about this place is the STAFF. They are polite, cheerful , helpful and all very knowledgeable about the area. Its an ideal spot for exploring or just relaxing. I will be returning hopefully in September and am really looking forward to staying there again.”

„Our 2nd stay at these lovely apartments. Its such a great spot for the railway line beach and fab restaurants. Its perfect.”

„Mały kawałek nieba na wsi. Piękny obiekt z wygodnymi pokojami i wszystkim, czego potrzebujesz, aby odpocząć. Ogrody i basen były wspaniałe. Zjadłem kolację w restauracji i było to przeżycie dla smakoszy. 3 dania za 20 euro. Ale to nie były pieniądze, to było cudowne. Pracownicy byli bardzo mili, a obiekt był bez skazy. Wysoce zalecane.”

„Fabulous Hotel We found Vila Monte a beautiful and peaceful place with The best service we have received in along time The team here made our stay so special and helped us celebrate our Wedding Anniversary The standard of Food was exceptional and we felt so much at home here We will return for a longer stay soon Thank you To All at Vila Monte”

„Studio with balcony in-between two Algarve railroad stops, both with walking access. Beach is 10 minutes away. Kitchen with utilities, fridge - all you need for a short or long stay. Friendly reception. Recommended, would love to return”

„Very bad experience. The hotel is 5 star but the 2 bedroom suites conditions is poor and separate from the hotel. Water tank is too small to have a hot shower.”
