“Monchique Resort & Spa impresses as a modern wellness destination tucked amid the Algarve's natural beauty. I think couples and families will appreciate the comprehensive activity programs and the luxurious ESPA spa, while the diverse dining options, including a Neapolitan pizzeria, add to the appeal. While the architecture is modern, blending glass and concrete, the setting provides views of the rolling mountains and coastline.”

My room was super spacious and airy. The bed was king-size. There were two modern bathrooms and they were fully stocked. I also enjoyed a very complete breakfast.

The hotel layout was confusing in general. The hotel was full of children, and it was far from a relaxing experience. I found the outdoor pool full of screaming children with parents ignoring them.
