The hotel is dated for sure (the elevator was out of service for part of our stay) but the facility was clean, the service was great, and the location was great. Their bar's happy hour service and musical performances in the evenings were enjoyable.

This is probably one of the oldest hotels in resort and therefore has an envious position backing onto the beach. There is a good pool, terraces and tennis courts plus outside snack bar to compliment the large restaurant and grand wood panelled bar. However, much of the hotel is rather dated and the rooms are basic and rather noisy.

Good service. Facilities not very modern but well kept and maintained. Good breakfast. Good location for beach tourism.

Beautiful place, wonderful beach, the hotel is between the beach and the shopping avenue. Various shops, pleasant and safe place with a climate suitable for summer, shame that the wind was very cold.

A bathroom with a bathtub was planned. When checking in, due to illness, a request was made for a room with a shower, which was immediately granted. All staff are very accommodating and friendly. Very comfortable and large bed. Excellent breakfast buffet.
Despite having a walking disability, the pool and beach are easily accessible.
Would book again immediately.

It was fantastic! Breakfast with something for everyone and a very varied dinner. Everything buffet style. Very friendly staff. Location is superb, near the beach. Swimming pool is big and clean! Nothing but praise for this somewhat dated hotel, which is also its charm!

This was my second stay at the magnificent Vasco da Gama. As a recently retired Architect, I can honestly say this traditional Portuguese hotel is the best in Monte Gordo. The 4 star Dunamar next door looks boring & dull in contrast. Do not be put off by the Vasco da Gama 3 star rating. As this is a Superior hotel. I booked 2 separate rooms on the third floor, land & seaview which had both been modernised. The Land view had a bath with shower overhead & the seaview had a double walk in shower. The beds were very comfortable. Always getting a good nights sleep. There was always a good selection of Portuguese & European foods available on the dining room. We stayed half board. If you love fresh Fish & Sea food? You will love it here. There was nighty live entrainment mostly for people over 50. The best being the weekly Magic show. The hotel staff were always very helpful and could speak perfect English. Anyone staying in this Grand hotel will love the location with direct access to the long soft sandy beach. We had lovely hot sunny weather every day during our stay in the last week on March 2025 . We've already pre-booked to return to this wonderful holiday later in November this year. Top tips, walk to nearby Vila Real and get the ferry over to Spain or catch the local train to Tavira.

A beautiful, well-kept pool area and very calm vibes .Loungers were uncomfortable due to not having cushions . You can get towels for loungers for a deposit of €20 which is fair, but if you want to change them for fresh ones, they charge you €2.50 Reasonably priced snack bar for drinks and snacks, and all kept very clean. It's an old and dated hotel, but very clean with nice cool areas inside the reception area to sit in, and a nice bar area, but entertainment was bad 👎. We had a twin bedded room on the roadside, which was very small, as was the bathroom with no fan , both need updated .The balcony was an ok size . Breakfast was absolutely fabulous, and all areas were spotless and a great selection of everything you could want . Reception staff were not pleasant nor very helpful. I think they all must be unhappy in their jobs. On the other hand the girls who looked after the rooms were pleas and smiling . A 3 minute walk to the most amazing beach.
