We absolutely loved our stay. The only feedback is on the gym. We would have loved to have had some actual barbells or dumbbells instead of just kettlebels. We will come back and hopefully we LL see these changes.

Lovely and affordable stay. Perfect in November when the throngs of visitors have diminished. Bathroom was super clean, but there was a bit of mold in the shower.

Perfect getaway.

A wonderful stay at The Prime Energize. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The room was spotless, bed comfy and ideal for our stay. The spa area was lovely. The indoor pool was perfect for a rainy January day. The breakfast was top notch. Continental or cooked was available. Faultless.

They had turned from Summer to Winter so the air-conditioning was off. Only the heat worked which made the room too warm.

Good view of sea if you get the room on fifth floor, good bed, spacious room, spacious balcony, very clean room and bathroom with all amenities. The only thing that put us off were the broken locks on bathroom doors. Imagine the hassle of staying the day/ night with two mischievous toddlers. The breakfast and half board buffet is just basic. Although, you get the option to purchase what is not on the buffet menu. We wish the indoor pool let in kids in the evening if the pool isin’t busy. And wish the buffet had kids food.

Härligt hotell i Monte Gordo

Från incheck till utcheck hade jag en bra vistelse. Lugnt och tyst rum med havsutsikt. Frukosten hade allt du kunde önska. Tar inte många minuter att gå till den fantasiska stranden. Gångavstånd till Vila Real. Tåg eller buss tar dig till Tavira, Olhao, Faro mm. Det enda minuset är poolen. Var där en gång men fick ge upp i att få en solstol, då många paxar sin stol. Provade även massage, även denna utmärkt. Jag kommer tillbaka

Fincionarios desatentos e sobrecarregados. Quarto sem isolamento acustico. Tivemos que pedir varias vezes para vitem falar com o quarto do lado que tinha uma musica altissima. Pra variar nosdo quarto tinha uma pequena escada paea entrar, o que nao vimos em outros. Denota falta de estrutura e preparo dis funcionários. O café era bom, justo. A propaganda era fantastica.
