I recently stayed at a resort in the Monchique mountains, and while the natural beauty surrounding the hotel is breathtaking, there were a few drawbacks. The service felt inconsistent and the dining options were lacking, particularly at breakfast. However, I enjoyed the spacious room and the peaceful atmosphere, making it a relaxing getaway despite some shortcomings.

The spa and pool area need some updating; they felt more like a communal facility than a resort's luxury area.

I stumbled upon this hotel after a long search in the mountains, and it turned out to be quite a find. The location is beautiful and serene, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The accommodations are charming, but a few aspects like the dining experience and outdated spa left room for improvement. Overall, it's a lovely hotel if you appreciate the calming atmosphere and unique character, just don't expect top-notch dining or modern facilities.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location nestled in the mountains is stunning, but the lack of adequate heating in the room made my stay less comfortable, especially with the chilly weather. The dining options were decent, though a bit chaotic at times. While there were some nice aspects, overall I was hoping for a bit more from my stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location amidst the Monchique mountains is stunning, offering a peaceful retreat. The room I stayed in was beautiful and had a lovely side view down to the pool. However, the dining service was a bit chaotic, and the breakfast selection could use some improvement. The spa facilities need sprucing up, and the pricing for the services felt a bit high considering their condition. Overall, there's potential, but some areas require attention.
