Hotel Vasco Da Gama

This is probably one of the oldest hotels in resort and therefore has an envious position backing onto the beach. There is a good pool, terraces and tennis courts plus outside snack bar to compliment the large restaurant and grand wood panelled bar. However, much of the hotel is rather dated and the rooms are basic and rather noisy.

Buen servicio. Instalaciones no muy modernas pero bien conservadas y mantenidas. Buen desayuno. Buena ubicación para turismo de playa.

Es war ein Bad mit Badewanne vorgesehen. Beim Check in wurde aufgrund Erkrankung der Wunsch nach einem Zimmer mit Dusche geäußert, welcher sofort erfüllt wurde. Alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Sehr bequemes und großes Bett. Hervorragendes Frühstücksbuffet. Trotz Gehbehinderung Pool sowie Strand bestens erreichbar. Würde sofort wieder buchen.

Muito bom

This was my second stay at the magnificent Vasco da Gama. As a recently retired Architect, I can honestly say this traditional Portuguese hotel is the best in Monte Gordo. The 4 star Dunamar next door looks boring & dull in contrast. Do not be put off by the Vasco da Gama 3 star rating. As this is a Superior hotel. I booked 2 separate rooms on the third floor, land & seaview which had both been modernised. The Land view had a bath with shower overhead & the seaview had a double walk in shower. The beds were very comfortable. Always getting a good nights sleep. There was always a good selection of Portuguese & European foods available on the dining room. We stayed half board. If you love fresh Fish & Sea food? You will love it here. There was nighty live entrainment mostly for people over 50. The best being the weekly Magic show. The hotel staff were always very helpful and could speak perfect English. Anyone staying in this Grand hotel will love the location with direct access to the long soft sandy beach. We had lovely hot sunny weather every day during our stay in the last week on March 2025 . We've already pre-booked to return to this wonderful holiday later in November this year. Top tips, walk to nearby Vila Real and get the ferry over to Spain or catch the local train to Tavira.

Have stayed numerous times but sadly this time I was disappointed. We booked with Jet2 and the pictures of the rooms were somewhat different to what we were given. .. let’s be clear it’s not a cheap option going with Jet2 but it felt like we were given a very low standard of room…. We have previously paid way less and always always been delighted with our room! .. we had requested a sea view which they could not accommodate but assured us that the room would be ‘very nice’.. it was not .. it was dated, had no view and the bathroom absolutely tiny.. avoid room 107!! Can recommend the breakfast though not impressed being asked to leave my bag in a cupboard.. they had experienced someone taking bread rolls out in a bag so now no one is allowed in with anything other than a tiny bag .. which btw people still put their lunch rolls into! Room was cleaned really well but reception staff really unfriendly.. doubt we will go again .. we will head back to Villamoura to the Tivoli Marine 👌
