Hotel Monte Gordo dengan Tempat Letak Kereta

On first impression the hotel seemed dated but it is meant to be ,it has a charm all of its own . Our room was a bit small but adequate . We loved the old fashioned furniture but I can imagine it’s not to everyone’s taste .The bathroom had been updated .In all it was very clean and on the plus side our bed was very comfy .Location is fantastic ,pool area is spacious and relaxing and we were always able to get a sun bed .We found the staff always helpful but not in your face . Breakfast was perfect with lots of choice .We have already booked to go in May !

Have just returned home after a week at this hotel. I noticed it had mixed reviews. My personal opinion of this hotel is it was perfect for my needs. The hotel is very clean and spacious. My room and bathroom were spotless. Free air con, free safe. A very decent size fridge that kept contents very cool. Free wifi all over the hotel and no problems with it. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. As we’re the bar staff. A “hi” to Martin who was super sweet. A huge dining area that was very clean. Lots of choice for breakfast. Cereals, yogurts, fruit, breads, cakes, cheese, meats, preserves and honey etc. There was also cooked bacon, sausages, fried and scrambled eggs, beans, mushrooms etc. Toaster at hand for toast. The bread rolls are baked fresh in the kitchen each morning and are delicious. My one and only negative is the choice of teabags. Needed three to produce one cup of weak tasteless tea. There’s a large sunbathing area with good quality sun loungers. The pool was stunning too. I would most definitely return to this lovely and well run hotel.

The GOOD: all the staff were welcoming, professional & accommodating; particularly the bar & kitchen staff. The pool area was clean and welcoming. The BAD: one of the reasons we chose this property was the ‘ free parking’ - which turned out to be an issue. When we arrived and were unable to locate any available parking and advised the front desk where we parked (in a parking lot behind the building across the street) - we were told - “not a problem” - until we were ticketed. Then we became aware there were only a limited amount of CASABLANCA parking spots - which were all full - we advised the front desk staff a lot of the vehicles didn’t have the hotel parking sticker…they didn’t appear to care as did not act on the vehicles parked there without hotel stickers…. The bathroom had ants on the floor & counter - we then kept our supplies in the sink which until then didn’t have ants - and then they invaded the sink. A few times I woke up to ants crawling on me. The air conditioner would often make clunking sounds and then proceed to shout out chunks of ice in the room…. The bed - we’ve never experienced such a hard mattress… The UGLY Probably because if the moisture from the AC unit on the balcony, mold was in the corners of the balcony… We initially thought about vacating- even if it meant losing our $ we paid upfront for the 3 nights - however there was extremely limited availability in the vicinity and there appeared to be parking issues with those properties and we’d take a chance on those being an improvement - so we endured and chalked it up to ‘ adventures in travel’

Basic hotel, rooms nice and clean, bed made every day. Staff not particularly friendly, food basic and boring went out most days. Pretty central for what we wanted, it was a place to sleep. Beach only about 5/10 minute walk which is beautiful.

En mi opinión lo mejor fue el desayuno. Nos cambiaron la habitación diciendo que era superior pero la que nosotros teníamos reservada estaba reformada y con ducha, y la que nos dieron no. Y aunque bajamos y explicamos que la reservamos así por la dificultad de no poder usar bañera pero decían que no tenían otra. Por lo tanto un gran punto negativo. Y en cuanto a las instalaciones, decir que tienen piscina exterior, interior...(esta forma parte del spa que hay que abonar y no lo dice en ningún sitio, sino cuando llegas allí. Al ponerlo dentro de las instalaciones como la exterior y no tiene coste, intentaron convencernos que en la web del hotel lo decía pero todos comprobamos que no era cierto). Deberían poner que lleva coste (como otras partes del hotel o actividades) y no captar clientes omitiendo cosas esas.

Только что вернулась из поездки.Останавливалась в этом отеле. Очень хороший европейский отель на ”три звезды”. Персонал дружелюбный и всегда готов помочь.Аквариум на регистрации довольно большой и вместительный.Никакого издевательства над животными я не увидела.Постели и полотенца всегда чистые.Из туалетных принадлежностей есть только мыло.Все остальное можете купить в гастрономе за углом-дешево и доступно.Комнаты и душевая просторные.Есть небольшая ”кухня” с холодильником,плиткой и микроволновой плитой.Все принадлежности для готовки еды:кастрюльки,сковородки,ножи,вилки,ложки,чайник и даже штопор для вина и винные бокалы.Мойка и кухонные полотенца.Широкий балкон со столиком и стульями.Кондиционер работает отлично.На окнах затеняющие жалюзи.Но самое главное достоинство-это расположение отеля.Он расположен в самом центре бульвара и в двух шагах от пляжа.Рекомендую посетить ресторан ”VistaMar”-вкусная еда и приемлемые цены.Так же радушный и гостеприимный персонал.

The Calema is situated on a backstreet just a few minutes from the beach. Initial impressions are good. The public areas are clean and reasonably well maintained. The gym seemed busy but the pool was totally unused. My room was clean and consisted of a small bedroom and bathroom with a larger kichenette and living area with a balcony. The kitchen equipment was sticky, unsurprising given that neither washing up liquid or tea towels were provided, with a random selection of cups and plates. My friends in other rooms fared better or worse suggesting poor management of the cleaning team. The single beds are rock hard and very narrow, but I slept well. Unfortunately a dead bird appeared on my balcony halfway through my stay which I reported four times on successive day, but it was still there on departure. The restaurant was poor. Cold breakfast options only and limited choices. The evening buffet was even worse with no vegetarian options or even labelling to tell you what you might be eating. After the first night we realised that we needed to eat at the start of the stated period as the food soon cooled and nothing was topped up. Vegetables were either cooked to death or missing altogether. For example, one night a single melon was put out along with another item, when they ran out quickly (before we got to that stage) a few small bowls of red jelly (of indeterminate flavour) were put out. An odd man also seemed to be hanging around glaring at people (we were told that he was the owner but he did no obvious work). Most days he seemed to be in the lounge with his phone loudly on speaker either shouting into it or watching something, making it impossible to have a quiet drink in the bar. One evening he hosted some sort of family meal after which one of the children was given the key to the piano. She then proceeded to play very badly and loudly. We complained to the man and he just shrugged. We left along with our fellow guests. So in summary, the Calema could be a good hotel but it needs some management attention, a decent food offering and for the owner to respect that we are paying guests and that the public areas are not an extension of his living room.
