Arriving at the hotel the foyer area is dark and gloomy, we were not given any information when we checked in, the swimming pool lead to a smell of chlorine throughout the floor. Plastic bar - it looks like nothings been changed since the 70's. The outside area of the bar has a dark green roof which makes it quite... more

Monte Gordo, Hotel Navegadores, Algarve, Portugal Date: June 26, 2009 Reviewer: Trip Advisor member, Londom, UK Its star rating is is higher for what it provides.but located in nice area with good beaches.

After reading some of the reviews, I thought 'Oh no' but I must say everything was good, except the food and being forarmed we took extra money to buy out.Hotel very clean, staff friendly, nice spot in the village, nothing else to fault. The village was small and easy to get around, miles of beach, some great resaurantes and bars... more

It was actually about an hour. Your have to fight your way through a crowd of men smoking on the steps to get... more

After reading previous reviews, I thought that some people were just complaing for the sake of it, but they were spot on. The hotel is something out of the 60's, although the rooms were clean and towels replaced daily. The swimming pool and outside areas are in dire need of updating while the underground carpark (or restaraunt as it is... more

After reading many negative comments on this hotel, I kept an open mind when arriving. Reception staff were extremely helpful and even took us up to our room. The room was cleaned daily, had the usual amenities and the view of the mountains was spectacular. The restaurant was normal fare: breakfast- ham , cheese, eggs, frankfurters, cereals, freshly baked bread,... more

Ignored by reception staff for 7 minutes waiting to register was not a good start. The twin room with on suite bathroom was basic but clean. Very little wardrobe/storage space. 1970's style heated indoor pool with 1970's carpeted sun terrace. 1960's style school dining room. Breakfast consisted of 1 inch thick toast,bread, bread buns, iced buns and more bread. Plenty... more
