My family and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel, with a wonderful atmosphere and spacious rooms that offered a lot of comfort. The breakfast spread was impressive and definitely a highlight. However, the location can feel a bit remote without a car, and the main outdoor pool was colder than expected. Overall, it was a good value for a relaxing getaway.

I had a lovely time at MacDonald Monchique Hotel with some highlights, like the spacious and well-equipped rooms, stunning views, and excellent spa services. However, my experience was somewhat marred by the noise from children during my stay, which detracted from the relaxing atmosphere the hotel aims to provide. Overall, it was still a memorable stay, but I'd appreciate it if they considered adult-only areas.

Overall, my stay at the resort was a mix of highs and lows. The stunning scenery and spacious rooms were definite highlights, making it ideal for unwinding. However, the service fell short, lacking the warmth and efficiency expected from a luxury hotel. While the dining options were generally good, they could benefit from greater variety. Despite some frustrations, the resort offers a tranquil escape in a beautiful setting.

I had a splendid stay at this serene spa hotel nestled in beautiful countryside. The rooms are surprisingly spacious and well-furnished, although the somewhat complicated layout took a little time to get used to. The dining options exceeded my expectations with a fantastic buffet breakfast. Service was mostly attentive, but I did notice areas around the indoor pool could benefit from better upkeep. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for relaxation and rejuvenation.
