Pool

Came here with three friends for a five day break. We had two rooms, level three and four. Rooms were of an adequate size, although bathrooms are quite small and I wasn’t keen on a shower over the bath. But clean and comfortable and cleaned daily. I actually loved that the hotel is so dated and it would definitely spoil its charm if ever modernised. 
Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice to suit multiple tastes and the dining area was light and roomy.
We thoroughly enjoyed the bar which opened at 5pm for happy hour and I can’t praise the staff enough. Super service from happy chatty folk who really looked after us (especially Lille) Also there was entertainment later on every evening in the bar. 
The hotel grounds are spacious and well maintained with a good sized pool and there is a short walkway onto the boardwalk and a beautiful beach. We never had any problem getting a sun lounger and used the pool bar a couple of times.
My friends and I all agree this is a really good hotel with excellent staff across all areas and would definitely recommend it

Lovely hotel with fantastic staff

Lovely hotel.It has the feeling of opulence about it while being very reasonably priced( in early May).
Breakfast was included and was delicious, catering for many nationalities and tastes.All the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Wonderful time

After visiting Monte Gordo for the first time last year we couldn’t wait to return. Last year we stayed in Hotel Dunamar and enjoyed the amazing view so decided to try Hotel Vasco Da Gama as it shares the beach front location. On arrival at 1pm we were allocated a room on the 5th floor and even though check-in was from 4pm our room was ready so off to a great start ! The hotel originates from the 1960’s and thankfully retains alot of stylish features mixed with some modern upgrades. Our room was full of character with quirky tiles and furniture complimented with a stylish modern bathroom suite. The rooms have great air con, fridge/cooler and a free safe. As the 5th floor is the top floor the balcony is large and the view is simply stunning ! We stayed bed & breakfast and every morning the breakfast was superb with plenty of choice. The pool area is large with plenty of sunbeds and a wonderful pool. Towels can be rented from reception for 20 euro each which is refundable on return. There is a poolside snack bar but as we are familiar with the area we ate out for lunch and dinner. The hotel bar is very stylish with dark wooden panelling and soft furniture, the staff are very friendly and approachable and there was musical entertainment every evening which was good quality and very enjoyable. Overall this is an excellent hotel and we will definitely return. One point to note is that the guests are quite old so whilst it suited us, as the atmosphere was quiet and reserved, it may not suit everyone (the average age was about 70). I would also like to thank Rafael and Lucillia for their assistance.

Charming & stylish hotel in great location !

Just returned from a fantastic week at Vasco da Gama Hotel. The hotel is in a prime beach location and close to other amenities. Despite being an older build hotel it retains its traditional charm and character. The rooms are comfortable and kept very clean by the hard working housekeeping team. All the staff are pleasant and efficient whatever role they have and are a credit to the hotel. The breakfast at the hotel is extremely good and offer a wide choice to suit most tastes and requirements. The offerings included breads , pastries, cereals, lots of fresh fruits, jams and yogurts.
There was always plenty of cheeses and cold meats to choose from and the hot section included eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, beans and tomatoes. Tea, coffee and orange juice to have with your breakfast freely available.
The hotel caters to people who are looking for a quiet and relaxing beach holiday. Monte Gordo is a quiet resort with a lovely beach and plenty of cafes and restaurants.
We had a great holiday and hope to return in the near future.

Wonderful holiday!

The hotel is clean, welcoming and has fun for all ages. The rooms are clean and bed comfortable. It is directly connected by the boardwalk to the beach and is central in its position in town. The facilities are excellent, good sized pool with plenty of sun loungers and pool bar serves food and drink during the day. There is also a crazy golf course that is fun, plus tennis courts are available. Entertainment in the hotel bar is available nightly, and there was a "happy hour" during our stay. The staff are very welcoming, professional and helpful and we can recommend this hotel to others.
