The Prime Energize

Hotel is zeker een aanrader voor een ideale vakantie in Monte Gordo. Vriendelijk personeel een ideale lokatie op loopafstand van restaurantjes en strand.

Vila Real y Monte Gordo son dos destinos interesantes para practicar deporte (running, bicicleta, golf, etc.) y este Hotel reúne las características idóneas para ello. Localización cercana a las instalaciones deportivas, habitaciones preparadas para un buen descanso y un desayuno con opciones sanas, de calidad y adecuadas para deportistas.

My husband and I loved this hotel, and we highly recommend it. Absolutely spotless, room cleaned every day and towels replaced. Staff are friendly and helpful. We went for 10 days B&B, the food was lovely, however, could have been warmer. The waiters will heat it if you ask. They will also make you an omelette or poached egg on request. The rooftop pool is a beautiful place to relax, however, would probably not visit in the high season as it is a small sunbathing area with not very many beds. We were lucky enough to get one every day. Would advise to go at 10am when it opens. The prices at the snack bar were a bit expensive (9 euros for a Toastie), outside you can buy one for approx 5 euros. The room was spacious with plenty of wardrobe space. The beds and pillows we so comfy. The bedsheets were crispy white as were the towels. The safe was free and the Wi fi excellent. The air con was also very good. The location is fab as there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. I recommend the Maya restaurant, a 5 minute walk from the hotel, 3 course delicious meal for 14.50 euros including a glass of wine. The huge beautiful sandy beach is a 5 minute walk away. Would definitely return. Thank you Prime Energise for lovely relaxng holiday.

The room facilities were satisfactory. They were comfortable, clean and relatively quiet. The cleaning staff were excellent. Very friendly and accommodating, particularly the lady who was on duty week commencing 9 March (then she had time off for her birthday). She was so lovely, warm and friendly. In general, I did not find the dining staff so welcoming. There was one chap who was there in the mornings (he wore glasses and had curely hair who was very pleasant). I didn't particularly like going to the dining room and did not feel particularly welcome. The housekeeping staff could teach them some warmth and that a smile goes a long way. I preferred not to use the restaurant for this reason. The food was fairly good the couple of times I ate there. I had an excellent massage with Imes. I hope she is paid well as she is very thorough. I'm am not sure how may people are allowed to use the spa at any one time. I had booked a spot from 5 pm to 6 pm and it was overrun with a large group of couples. Perhaps they should have had it solely for their use rather than letting anyone else in at that time since they had taken over the facilities. No staff member was in sight. It is a shame, and very unusual, that there is no separate bar or lounge facilities for guests. Particularly when the weather is not good, it would be appropriate to enable guests to relax in a less formal setting than the dining area. The food offering is quite good. I don't eat meat but was able to find a variety of food that suited. There is always someone at reception to assist which is helpful.

We stayed here for 6 nights in October & everything about the hotel was excellent. We had a lovely quiet, clean room & a delicious breakfast every morning. The staff at breakfast were helpful, efficient & very friendly. Special shout-out for Zary.

My fourth time staying at this hotel and is always up to usual high standards. The cleaning is spotless and the bed linen is so crisp. The rooms are spacious and modern with air conditioning that you can control and a mini fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. No need to bring a beach towel with you as they provide and can change daily with no deposit required. Breakfast is a small selection but plenty of choices. I didn’t do half board but from speaking to others they don’t rate it and better not to bother. An indoor pool is available but you do have to book in advance. I arrived at lunchtime and my room was ready which was a great addition as wasn’t expecting to check in so early. The only downside is the rooftop pool. There isn’t much space so there are not many sun loungers available if the hotel is busy/full. You have to get there at 10am to and even then you might not get one. If you don’t want this hassle then I suggest an alternative hotel would suit better.
