Baía Beach Hotel

We spent 6 nights at this hotel which is very close to the beach. Food was varied and excellent quality with a different theme every day. Staff friendly and helpful, spotless rooms which were cleaned every day. Rooftop pool is small and not really big enough for a swim, but sits in a covered area so you can use it whatever the weather. Easy walking distance to the next town (Vila Real de San Antonio) where you can take a ferry to Ayamonte in Spain for €2.50pp

We had a fortnight's holiday from the 1st May and found the following:- Great location. Spotlessly clean. Excellent staff. The only downside was that the food was not very hot although the choice and quality was very good. The other thing was that there was only one accessible electricity socket in the room.

The room was basic but clean. As we were at the back of the hotel the view was limited to the rears of other buildings. Friendly and helpful staff. Good choice for breakfast. There was only one socket in the room and the loo was too close to the washbasin so somewhat cramped.

Hotel was very close to the beach with bars and shops within easy distance. A lovely decorated foyer area with good helpful staff. Room was adequate but not large. A small balcony overlooked the road and a side view to the beach. beds were good and the only down side was there were no hot drink making faciklities. It had 2 lifts, one of which was out of action for our stay, this wasnt really an isue as the hotel didnt seem that busy, nut could be a bigger problem when it was. Room was attended to and beds made every day. I thought the restaurant was lovely well set out and not to busy, although it was just out of season. The restaurant staff were probably the most attentive I have yet to see in a hotel. always smiling and removing used plates and utensils quickly. Breakfast was a good a great choice of prepared fresh and tinned fruits, a small choice of hot food, yogurts, pastries, cooked meats etc. Fruit juice, tea and coffee machines. Evening meal always had a soup, choice of fish and meat, along with selection of vegetables. a huge array of salad items and probably the best display of chilled deserts ive seen in most hotels. The only down side to the food was.. I never had any food that was actually hot, it all seemed just luke warm to me. The roof area was quiet and the pool not large, but adequate for a little dip. A bar was open on the roof if you required a drink. All in all, a great 5 days away at an unbeleivable price for what we got. SHould I return to Monte Gordo, I wouldnt hessitate to stay again.

Stayed with my husband for a week of winter sun. Great location, good size room, lovely staff, clean and with a varied food selection (soup followed by fish or meat choice every night). Hot rolls and freshly baked (mini) croissants were delicious.. We stayed in a 55+ comfort room on a half board basis, which included 1 free drink (beer, wine or soft drink) with dinner. Overall great value for money
