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

My mum and I have just returned from Monte Gordo and we stayed at the Vasco da Gama Hotel for 1 week.

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

We... More
