We returned from a trip to Albufeira and stayed at this hotel. Although the food wasn't 5-star, we enjoyed the all-inclusive service. The drinks were good, and we enjoyed the poolside snack bar. The staff were very friendly. I'd like to highlight the entertainment team. A special mention goes to Destiny, who entertained us immensely at the activities. Very funny guy. We loved watching the crazy show put on by the animation team. Congratulations to everyone involved, because it made us and our children laugh a lot. You all very talented. One highlight I'd like to give would be to the girl who performed in the crazy show. Incredible presence and great charisma. I think her name is Lina, We apologize if that's not her name. But it was the only time we heard her name.
The hotel's location is fantastic, and the cleanliness in the common areas was okay but could be improved. We hope to return next year despite the less positive aspects. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

We have just returned from a great holiday at this hotel. This place exceeded our expectations and we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was fantastic, right next to the beach and small walk away from the pool area. We were all inclusive and were impressed with the selection of food, and drinks as well as snacks available throughout the day. The views from the hotel were amazing, including the views from the restaurant, especially during sunset. The hotel offer a free shuttle bus to the old town and back 3/4 times a day which we thought was a great. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were big and clean and the cocktails were strong! Will definitely be returning, highly recommend this hotel.

For the price I really can't complain, I loved the location as its right by beach and poolside. I think it might be a tad loud if you had people who wanted to party all night next door, but I didn't have any noise issues atall. The staff are accommodating and the rooms are ideal. Would definitely recommend! The food is also good. A great first experience.

A beautiful hotel, but there’s a lot of steps; however, fantastic service, great food and an amazing atmosphere. The entertainment is fantastic, and the staff are lovely (apart from one lady at reception; she was a bit rude- spoke to us rudely). You have to pay a tourist tax, which is 2 euros per day. You also have to pay 10 euros for a key that you get back when you check- out. Beds are uncomfortable and the room is dated, but don’t let that put you off. It’s a fabulous location, next to the beach and beautiful views! Overall, a fantastic place! 🥰

This is our last full day at the hotel. We arrived after midnight due to the national power outage with electricity only restored to the hotel 20 minutes before. We received a warm greeting, a picnic supper and the receptionist carried our bags to our apartment. We read previous reviews and, if so minded, could post our own photos copying the defects. But that would be petty. Without exception, the staff have been wonderful, showing kindness and warmth to young and old. The food is wonderful, with a never-ending choice. There is even a free shuttle- bus to Albufeira. During this week so much has been 5 star at 3 star prices. Well done the team at Hotel Monica Isabel!
