Grand Muthu Forte do Vale

Auf jeden Fall kein 5-Sterne-Hotel – sehr veraltet und völlig verschimmeltes, versiegeltes rundes Bad. All-Inclusive-Essen nicht so toll. Wir mussten beim Check-in eine Kreditkartenkopie hinterlassen und uns mitteilen, dass uns keine Kosten berechnet werden würden. Nach unserer Ankunft wurden uns jedoch 100 £ in Rechnung gestellt, sodass wir trip.com anrufen mussten, um das Problem zu klären

Generell nicht zu empfehlen

Schönes Hotel in guter Lage, tolles Personal und gutes Essen, ich wünschte nur, die Pools wären wärmer, auch wenn der Innenpool kalt wäre.

Es heißt, es sei ein 5-Sterne-Hotel. Ich würde ihm kaum 3 Sterne geben. Die Zimmer sind alt und veraltet. Die Betten fühlten sich alt an, das Sofa war in der Mitte durchgesunken und der Toilettensitz war angeschlagen. Der einzige Pluspunkt war, dass das Zimmer eine gute Größe hatte und sehr sauber war. Das Frühstück war nicht so toll. Es gab zwei Theken, die das Essen warm hielten, aber einer funktionierte nicht, sodass das Essen dort kalt war. Ich mag kalte Würstchen und Bohnen nicht wirklich. Das Personal wusste, dass es nicht funktionierte, unternahm jedoch keine Anstrengungen, das Essen auf die Arbeitstheke zu stellen oder es auf andere Weise warm zu halten. sehr enttäuschend

The hotel is outstanding. Beautiful apartment. The staff are amazing. You can eat at several speciality restaurants if you are all inclusive...recommended! A big thank you to Marcio and Amdreia, who looked after us at the bar. Andrea, special thank you for the lovely G&T xxx

We just got back from our 5 night short break yesterday. Is the hotel a 5 star? Not by British standards but I would say it is similar to many 4 stars that we have stayed in around the world. Now that’s out of the way, for our review: The good - the room was clean & had everything we needed and more. The cleaning staff were lovely and always smiling. The pool entertainment was a good laugh even just to watch & the 4 entertainers were great. The pool bar tender Christiano (sorry if spelt wrong) was friendly & remembered us each day. The sauna was heavenly after a workout at the gym which although small does have everything you need. The lady on the spa reception whose name I didn’t catch was friendly and always said hi. The main reception staff were helpful & friendly. We went to the Piccadilly bar most nights and the entertainment was great (make sure you catch the sax player he was amazing, reminded me of an Ibiza one!) Vinicius (again probably spelt wrong so my apologies) was by far the best bartender we have come across in our travels. He truly is this hotels biggest asset in our opinion as he remembered us after our first order & had great banter while serving. Everyone we spoke to said similar remarks about him which speaks extremely highly to please so many people. As we had a night flight coming & going we missed the dinner session but they let us have dinner the day we left even after checkout which isn’t always a guarantee we have found so we were very happy about that. The bad - not even bad really but maybe some things (nit-picking really) which we thought we should mention so could possibly be fixed to make this a 5 star :) The pool itself had a few loose tiles towards the waterfall part, the spa needs some updates as it’s a bit dated and finally the bar needs more seating & the plants can block your view of the stage. All of these didn’t cause any issues but as above fixing this could mean the resort is a 5 star. For visitors bear in mind there’s a refundable 100 euro deposit, they refund it when you check out so this just something to bear in mind. Also not all drinks are part of the all inclusive but they had their version of most spirits and the lager was great! From both of us we want to say thank you to the staff for making our holiday so memorable and for going above & beyond.

My husband and I have just got back from a 3 night stay at this hotel, it was also our first time in Portugal, all of the hotel was clean, all of the staff were friendly and helpful, nice food. This hotel is also in walking distance to a beautiful beach, shops, restaurants etc. Taxi’s are very easy ( download the app Bolt) never waited any longer than 5 mins for a taxi, costing around €3.30 each time we used it. Great hotel, and great location. We will be back again one day.

My Wife and I had a 5 night stay in this hotel last week. The hotel itself is really clean and well maintained. The staff were all really helpful and thankfully they all spoke English really well. Our self catering apartment and had absolutely everything that we needed for our stay, and even had a dishwasher and washing machine to do laundry. Our apartment had two balconies that looked out onto a fairly busy roundabout, but the sliding glass doors were really well sound proofed so the traffic outside could hardly be heard once the doors were closed. The hotel is located in an area that is well served by local grocery stores and also some restaurants where we went for breakfast and dinner on a couple of occasions. The old town is just a 5 or 6 minute taxi ride away, but it is worth getting a taxi for around €5 or a tuk tuk for around €10 as there are some pretty steep hills to be climbed along the way. If you want to stay more locally, the ***** is just a 10 or 15 minute walk from the hotel. We did not dine at the hotel, nor did we use the pool or bar as we were out and about each day, but other guests told us that they were really impressed by those facilities. There is a games room where you can play video games or air hockey or play pool also. Overall, we were very satisfied with the hotel and we would gladly recommend it to anyone that's thinking of travelling to the area.
