Stayed in a garden room, very pleasant surroundings. Self catering facilities, but we didn't use them seemed well equipped. Had breakfast in hotel. Found the 7.30 - 10.30 am time really good. Excellent swimming pool.

Vasco da Gama Hotel is situated on the beach in Monte Gordo, Eastern Algarve, Portugal. The Hotel was built in 1957 and gives the impression of an old ocean liner sitting in the dock of the bay. The interior of the hotel also resembles a ship, right down to the ship's wheel in reception foyer. This isn't by accident as... More

The hotel staff (and that includes the Reception staff, restaurant staff, Waiters, Bar staff and cleaners - I hope... More

This is the second time we have stayed in this hotel. I e-mailed ahead to ask for a room looking towards Villa Real and was given room 436. This is at the far end of the hotel and also had a sea view without paying extra. The room was good, spacious and large. If you want a total sea view... More

Back then it was the only hotel in the location but now has a big one next door and an even bigger one opposite. That doesn't spoil the views as the hotel is straight onto the beach and lovely views.
