"The spa is being renovated, but it was still fine. Unfortunately you can’t book the spa for more than two hours, which is too rushed for saunas, including relax time. Monchique is nice for hiking, but the extensive trails were being reconstructed because of storm damage. Only short trails. The hotels at the spa apparently belong to only one hotel complex. The older ones are classics and closest to the spa. The new, modern one has a better view, but more expensive without being any better (except new) because a farther walk to the spa. The service is friendly, helpful and professional. 24 / 7 The restaurant is not cheap, but not bad. The service has Brazilian personnel and music, and has the same friendly flair. To get to the town of Monchique, it’s necessary to take the bus because the walking paths don’t go all the way there and walking on the narrow highway is very dangerous and also the location of extensive construction. It would take a several hours, at least a half day / one-way to walk there. There is a ruined church / cloister on a mountain in the town Monchique to visit, with a very friendly caretaker who loves to show people around for free. The monastery fell in the earthquake of 1755. However it’s better to stay overnight at the spa because it’s very calm, quiet and clean. Turn off the ac, it makes a lot of noise. You can usually find a good deal on the various third party portals, off season special."

"Τέλεια"

"Ωραίο ξενοδοχείο βρίσκεται σε ένα μεγάλο φυσικό περιβάλλον. Τα δωμάτια είναι ευρύχωρα αλλά αρκετά κρύα αν έρθεις χειμώνα ή σε ένα καλοκαιρινό κρύο βράδυ. Δεν υπάρχει θέρμανση στο δωμάτιο. Το πρωινό είναι αξιοπρεπές αλλά δεν έχει ποικιλία. Το SPA πληρώνεται ως πρόσθετο και είναι παρωχημένο. Πολύ ακριβό για την ποιότητα της υπηρεσίας."

"Waste of money. I’m currently here now and after paying a fortune, they say we have to pay 15euros to access the spa. Okay fine, now we go to the spa and they say it’s 15 euros for 1.5 hours. They say it’s on the website but I searched everywhere çant see that. We also paid extra for a Luxury room and they only give coffee in the Suites which are 500 euros. Do not come here."

"Ωραίο μέρος, όμορφη θέα, καλή φροντίδα, καλό φαγητό."

"Μια όμορφη χαλαρή ορεινή παραλία που βρίσκεται σε γήπεδα γεμάτη φρούτα και λουλούδια. Το πρωινό έχει επιλεγεί φρέσκα φρούτα από τον κήπο μεταξύ άλλων επιλογών."
