Bit old style, but everything was in good shape not much used perhaps. Long distances from villas to restaurants and so on

We stayed at the villa, pretty big for two pax

Stayed in May 2024

There are limited dining options 2 were open when we stayed. the Main restaurant was not open for the season yet during Easter week. Tavira town about 20min drive is a better option.

Well finished apartments with all trimmings

The wifi was appualing. An essential part of any service for a Villa costing that much. Airocon broke on our last day. The issue was a maintenance, not a broken part, as it flashes up on the screen what the issue is.

The picture of the Villa on booking.com shows an attached pool whereas in reality there is no attached pool. We thought this was misleading.

Just the price!

Fantastic villa with 2 bedrooms and a full kitchen. It was very expensive and a fairly long drive to anything, but it was very nice. The golf course was excellent - very hilly and tricky and fairly long. There was a very good break in the golf price by staying at Monte Rei.

The main bathroom shower area needed more cleaning attention, black growth around the bottom of shower and along the wall tiles. Not pleasant to look, at or shower in. Location is a bit more of the beaten track and you definitely need car to get around. Only 2 places to eat ( 3rd one is Michelin so not for every day eating ). The Grill we found disappointing on our first day, salad was bland consisting of some boiled vegetables. No dressing or taste. So avoided it for rest of our stay. The menu is same week in/week out as far as I could see so choice very limited. Wifi was very poor. Router located in locked metal box is not going to help with wifi distribution.

Great size of property. Great welcome service. Excellent pool area combined with a very good pool side dinning area. Quite with plenty of pool side loungers that did not require queuing ( perhaps the days we were there were quiet days ? ). Good experience overall, nice touch by Monte Rei to notice my birthday based on my passport ( Thank you ). The pool side dinning, Veranda, was very good and we ate there twice.

The food was a little expensive. Location was a little remote.

Fabulous location, lovely staff, gorgeous villas and pool. Very quiet spot and not too full of tourists, so we felt very pampered. Food was delicious, without exception, both at the breakfast and at the restaurants.

Long distance to restaurant

Stayed in June 2022

Vistas restaurant only offered a prix fixe tasting menu which was very expensive and full of "unusual" dishes that were not our favorite type of food. Plus took almost 3 hours. In fairness, we did not peruse the description or menu so we shoud have known better but would avoid in the future. Also, grill was average at best for appetizers. Lastly, golf course is a great layout but in disappointingly neglected shape. Greens were weedy, fairways patchy, carts older, pro shop woefully under stocked. All bad signs pointing to a lack of resources that makes us question long-term viability.

Villa was excellent. Facilities in general were very good.

I totally agree that this place is extraordinary, speaking about the course and the rooms. Top level - for a top price. One of the best courses i ever played worldwide What is mediocre to low is the restaurant the grill , as its needs urgently renovation and the food is way overpriced for the quality. You have to leave the resort with a car/taxi to find an alternative -as the other restaurant inside ( Vista) charges min 150 Euros per menu. What made me mad is that you have to pay extra - if you want to exercise at the range and hit long shots, after ! your round (before is max one hour allowed).So even being a guest at that place , and paying the greenfee for your round , you have to pay extra 25 Euros , for one hour, so if you are an ambitious player you might have to pay 50-75 Euros extra on top of the green fee just for using the range afterwards. This i call a greedy rip off . Especially as we were not informed before about this - booking the rooms and tee times it should be written , as its quite unusual. And you don’t find it on the website not even the the price for the greenfee.But what is written how great the practice facilities are :-( I wanted to discuss this with the director of golf , Darren Griffith - explained the situation at the front desk , but never got a call back or a message. This shows me that they are more interested in glamour and image of the place , but not in real service to their guests. But as most guests are average 70 and older , the willingness to complain gets smaller to low.

One of the best golf course i have ever played ( i played pebble b , Valderama , St. Andrews etc) and rooms are extraordinary

Beautiful location, relaxing, and staff were amazing !

Menu was quite limited so could get repetitive on a longer stay.

Villa was lovely, the ability to make the villas one, two or three bedrooms was really good. Staff were very helpful and polite. Food was delicious. Golf course was excellent and pool very nice.

Location is a bit tricky - would 100% recommend their taxi driver (Silver) for all your driving needs. Wouldn't bother with a car if you are only leaving to go eat/drink

Very nice resort, particularly if you are a golfer. The complimentary snacks at breakfast time (if you have not pre-paid for breakfast) was a nice touch with freshly squeezed orange juice delivered to our villa at 9am each day with some bread and pastries.

It's very quiet and calm even with most of the villas occupied. Perfect for families.

Internet connection could be better and, unfortunately, it is very hard to move around in that area as you will struggle to call an Uber or a cab. Would recommend renting a car if you don’t have one.

Very quiet and peaceful, amazing place to be in family. The staff was very welcoming and the cleaning team is extremely professional. I had the feeling of being at “home”.

Unfortunately the bed was really hard, way too firm. They put a duvet under the bottom sheet for me. Also, we had a tree scraping against our bedroom wall which kept us awake all night, so they moved us to another room.

Breakfast and lunch was good. Great chips!! We had a special tasting dinner in the smart restaurant - that was amazing. Staff were always helpful. Loved the golf!
