Don't believe all the negative reviews. We spent 3 nights here all inclusive last week, and have to say the hotel was in a perfect location, right on the beach, a short walk along the beach and your at the old town. The buffet food had a good variety, and we enjoyed all the food we ate there. The cocktails of the day went down a treat. Yes I have to agree the rooms are a little dated.. we were in C block, on level one, so approaching our room looked dark and a little unwelcoming, but the room its self was bright and welcoming, with daily cleaning and fresh towels every 2 days. The added bonus of a balcony and sea view. All in all for a 3 star budget hotel, I think we got good value for money and we would return again. I have also seen some comments on the slow return of the damage deposit... we checked out at 3.30am and it was back on my card by that evening, so I could not complain at that.
Absolutely disgusting hotel never ever have I experienced anything like it when staying in a hotel . I wouldnt recommend it to anybody. Miserable receptionists. On arrival they demand 200 euros deposit. When leaving we only received half of it back. Two pools far away from one another. One part of the hotel looked more like a prison. Food Absolutely disgusting 🤮. Drinks terrible. Entertainment wasn't bad . This hotel is not close to the new or old town. Everything up hill. Not many sun lounges pools very dirty. Snack bar food very poor. Tasteless. Dry tasteless bread . Cockroaches in the room in the bathroom also. Cracked tiles. Toilet very loose. Floors very slippery. Beach was lovely. Spent most my days wondering what to eat. Same food everyday. Very dissatisfied.
After reading mixed reviews I felt super apprehensive about this hotel however I’ve never felt more wrong. The facilities were great, looked more modern than some of the pictures show, our room was clean and safe. The breakfast was surprisingly really nice - something for everyone, the all inclusive snacks/ drinks around the pool made it worth it. The pool was incredible, made it nice being right next to the beach too. There was nice vibes around the hotel experienced no issues at all and couldn’t recommend highly enough (ignore all the negative reviews you’ll be pleasantly surprised) would definitely return!
Hotel Monica Isabel met all our expectations. In addition to the fact that the Algarve coast offers beautiful nature, long clean beaches, we chose this hotel for accommodation also due to the price and the services offered for this price. The hotel is older and I would like to thank everyone again for taking care of the building, it is not easy, the area is large and yet it is clean and quiet. Minor shortcomings - sometimes you have to wait longer for the elevator, sometimes you have a noisy neighbor who sings in the morning. :). Maybe the bars could be open earlier so that we could enjoy excellent coffee and drinks on the terrace at the reception or by the pool. The hotel has an excellent location, just a few meters from the beautiful beach. You can get to the beach by a wooden bench - steps. The beach is clean, and what you will appreciate - on the top floor of the hotel there is a restaurant with a beautiful view of the beach and the city. We were very satisfied with the food, in the bars too. The food was varied, the staff and the chefs should be commended for the exceptionally pleasant moments during the meal. I am not the type of traveler who looks for faults, I would certainly find them here too. On the contrary, I will write that I thank the hotel management and all the staff from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful moments I was able to experience on the Algarve coast and at the Monica Isabel Hotel. I wish you many satisfied guests, keep up the quality of the food and the view of the ocean. I would be happy to come back to you. Ivetka.
Had a lovely week here. Our apartment was spacious with a living room and kitchen area, bedroom and bathroom with shower over the bath. We were pleased to have a gorgeous sea view. There are lots of steps so the site isn't good for those with mobility issues. The breakfast was buffet style and there was plenty of choice. We didn't have other meals. The hotel had two pools and was right on the beach front. We enjoyed several walks along the coast.
