Monica Isabel Beach Club

Breakfast was good, plenty of options and friendly staff. Location was ideal! Right on the beach and easily accessible from the airport and within walking distance of old town. Room was lovely and spacious fantastic view from balconies !!! Bed was big and comfy with plenty of pillows, aircon was a bonus.

Great location, so close to the beach! We had a huge room/apartment. Satisfied with the food selection for both breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lots of sun loungers to choose from (possibly the time of year). Free shuttle to town was a plus however bolt taxis only cost us around 3-5 euros. Lovely staff. For the price this is a brilliant hotel and would return again.

room: booked a double room and were upgraded to a studio with pool and sea view. There was also a kitchen in the studio with an oven, microwave and large refrigerator. The room was cleaned every day by very friendly ladies. Reception: friendly welcome and always friendly on repeated visits to the reception. All-in service: delicious meals, sufficiently hot. a different choice every day. Not a single negative comment about the food. This was worth more than three stars. Swimming pool: lovely. Too bad about the towel lays in the morning from people you don't see arriving until 4 p.m. Snack pool: Sufficient choice and friendly service. A hotel to return to for that price.

We were a family of 8 in 3 different rooms, the rooms all had sea views( not all rooms in the hotel provide this) and were cleaned and bedding changed every day. The food was good as far as All inclusive goes in the main restaurant but the Pizza/Pasta restaurant was fantastic. We had entertainment every night, Elvis night and 80's disco night got us all dancing, the animation staff during the day were brilliant with my 5 year old, but the adults still got to do some aqua dancing to a bit of Tina Turner. All inclusive drinks gave a good variety with a different cocktail available each day as well as beer and local spirits. The hotel is split into 3 buildings meaning there is a short walk to the pool, restaurant and the beach depending which part you are in, but this is not a problem at all. It is only 10-15 minutes walk along the beach into the old town which had live music really nice restaurants, we did not venture to the Strip/new town but I understand an Uber was around 5 euros. Value for money great family holiday and I will definitely return some time in the future.

The animators for children like Fernando, Iris, and Natalia, organized interesting activities for children to whom my daughter loved to participate each evening. Also during the day, but we had booked day trips to attractions in that region, so we skipped the day time fun at the hotel. Hotel is well placed and you can easily find connections to most attractions from Albufeira and near. Room is really big, terrace is big and in the room there is a fully equipped kitchen.
