“Hotel Alba struck me as a balanced option in Monte Gordo, where apartments include kitchenettes and many rooms have balconies, some even with Ayamonte views. The hotel sits just 300 meters from the beach, while inside, the pool area sees regular cleaning, all signs of effective management. I think its location near the train station also makes Alba a solid base for exploring the Algarve.”

i found some of the staff to be quite rude, honestly. they also gave us the wrong room at first. they seemed reluctant to correct it too. the breakfast wasn't great either, lots of food ran out even though the place was nearly empty.
