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.
