Hotel Vasco Da Gama

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.

Het was fantastisch! Ontbijt met werkelijk voor ieder wat wils en zeer gevarieerd diner. Alles in buffetvorm. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Ligging is super, vlakbij het strand. Zwembad is groot en schoon! Niets dan lof voor dit enigszins gedateerde hotel, wat ook meteen de charme is!

After visiting Monte Gordo for the first time last year we couldn’t wait to return. Last year we stayed in Hotel Dunamar and enjoyed the amazing view so decided to try Hotel Vasco Da Gama as it shares the beach front location. On arrival at 1pm we were allocated a room on the 5th floor and even though check-in was from 4pm our room was ready so off to a great start ! The hotel originates from the 1960’s and thankfully retains alot of stylish features mixed with some modern upgrades. Our room was full of character with quirky tiles and furniture complimented with a stylish modern bathroom suite. The rooms have great air con, fridge/cooler and a free safe. As the 5th floor is the top floor the balcony is large and the view is simply stunning ! We stayed bed & breakfast and every morning the breakfast was superb with plenty of choice. The pool area is large with plenty of sunbeds and a wonderful pool. Towels can be rented from reception for 20 euro each which is refundable on return. There is a poolside snack bar but as we are familiar with the area we ate out for lunch and dinner. The hotel bar is very stylish with dark wooden panelling and soft furniture, the staff are very friendly and approachable and there was musical entertainment every evening which was good quality and very enjoyable. Overall this is an excellent hotel and we will definitely return. One point to note is that the guests are quite old so whilst it suited us, as the a**osphere was quiet and reserved, it may not suit everyone (the average age was about 70). I would also like to thank Rafael and Lucillia for their assistance.

Lovely hotel.It has the feeling of opulence about it while being very reasonably priced( in early May). Breakfast was included and was delicious, catering for many nationalities and tastes.All the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Came here with three friends for a five day break. We had two rooms, level three and four. Rooms were of an adequate size, although bathrooms are quite small and I wasn’t keen on a shower over the bath. But clean and comfortable and cleaned daily. I actually loved that the hotel is so dated and it would definitely spoil its charm if ever modernised. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice to suit multiple tastes and the dining area was light and roomy. We thoroughly enjoyed the bar which opened at 5pm for happy hour and I can’t praise the staff enough. Super service from happy chatty folk who really looked after us (especially Lille) Also there was entertainment later on every evening in the bar. The hotel grounds are spacious and well maintained with a good sized pool and there is a short walkway onto the boardwalk and a beautiful beach. We never had any problem getting a sun lounger and used the pool bar a couple of times. My friends and I all agree this is a really good hotel with excellent staff across all areas and would definitely recommend it

Nice hotel in a great location on the fantastic beach. Rooms are ok - nothing special. We had a "superior" room which had a larger entrance hall with a single bed in it pretending to be a sofa. Not really very superior!!! The restaurant, bar, and housekeeping staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant is 100% buffet and can be a bit of a bun fight. Sharp elbows would be helpful. Reception is in desperate need of refurbishment....very dated and dreary. The reception staff are not at all helpful nor are they very visible. Would we go again? Yes- because we know what to expect. We wouldn't bother with a superior room; we would be more canny about when to use the restaurant and we would avoid reception at all costs.

Just returned from a 6 night stay on a half board basis. ♥️ Hand sanitiser everywhere in the hotel ♥️ Outside dining area ♥️ Hot food was covered ♥️ Pool area and sunbathing area spacious ♥️ Cleanliness throughout the hotel ♥️ Bedding & towels smelt fresh ♥️ Staff - friendly & courteous ♥️ Location Good having a fridge in the room and room was a good size. Special thanks to the lady who cleaned my room. Great job every time. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Felt more like a 4* than a 3*.

We booked this holiday with Jet2 It was brilliant the hotel was great the service people food rooms all outstanding we had a sea view room 😀 which was big and roomy great bathroom cleaned everyday the view outstanding could not fault it breakfast brilliant great choice evening meal was very good choice something different every night the fish dishes were great 👍 we had a memorable time

Many things to like about this hotel such as location, food and staff. However, the accommodation itself is a bit tired. Old tiles with cracks and dated furniture in desperate need of updating. The fridge didn’t work and the old tv had a distorted picture. I twice complained about the fridge, but when nothing was done I couldn’t be bothered to complain about anything else. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and perhaps the other rooms are in better condition. So I wouldn’t want to put anyone off from staying here, but my room was definitely in need of a refurbishment.
