Monica Isabel Beach Club

Perfect location if you’re looking to stay near the beach. Walking distance to Albufeira city center, around 15 minutes. The bathroom needs a renovation but it’s a 3 star hotel. The bed is very comfortable. The air conditioning was perfect! Our room had a very nice terrace , with a beach view.

The location is great, however there is party going on every day until 11, which makes it impossible to rest before 11. We also found lice in the room.

Furniture antiquated AC machine loud as ever very good access to the beach

The hotel is situated in a nice spot right by the beach that is absolutely beautiful. By walking on the beach you can get to town which is well worth visiting. The main pool does have all the entertainment during the day, such as aerobic and kids games. There is one bar by the pool serving some selection of snacks, I.e. toasts, fruits, drinks. It is by order, not a pick and choose by yourself. The main restaurant is accessible by the lift as it is on the 7th floor. Views are gorgeous. The staff in the restaurant was amazing, very friendly, and very accommodating and made our stay a very enjoyable one special thank you to Tikal and Sami . It is a small hotel not as some big village like places so if you look for a nice stay without much walking that is for you. People do reserve sunlounges very early onh so even though we did not want to do it we ended up waking up early just to put our towels on as otherwise we wouldn't have a nice sunlounges and having 2 kids would be hard to manage. A bit slippy and hilly in places. Evening entertainment was too late for our kids to enjoy, so we skipped that. Overall we had an amazing time.

Be aware, this hotel has 260 rooms and the bar and entertainment area has one shared toilet. The location and hotel are good, the food is very good. The staff are rude and do not accept they have issues with lack of toilets. No glass to drink from, always paper cups and they reluctantly give you plastic in the evening. I would stay well clear of this place.

Going to start with the positive stuff Fab location - 15 minute walk to the old town which is beautiful Lovely clean room Comfortable beds Shower powerful - lots of hot water Nice fresh food with good choice Great drinks On the beach Good value for money Average stuff Rooms are dated (but spotless) Staff not so friendly particularly at the pool bar Reception area very dated and worn - ripped chairs and only one toilet No kettle in the room No hairdryer in the room Coffee and tea awful for Brits General stuff Beach towels available to hire from reception

Stayed here for a week as a couple but also as part of a larger group for part of stay. I’ve given the review 4 but would probably say more 3.5 if I could on rating . For a 3 star hotel it’s ok . People who leave bad reviews must think they are in a 4 star hotel for a 3 star price . Reception on check in was quick . The staff were ok . You are allocated time slot for restaurant . We were given earlier sitting but changed with no problems to late sitting . Although in reality the allocated times did not seen to matter Room - we were in m2 block . The room was large . Dated but clean . Large balcony sea view . Didn’t use tv but it had one . You can get a kettle from reception easily . Bathroom again dated but got hot water and good shower . You can get a safe key can’t remember cost but ok . Negatives. No drawer space . No shelf in bathroom to put things on . Noise from room above too lAsk for top floor . Cleaned every day . It was ok . Remember it’s a 3 star Pool - lots of sunbeds Drinks ok vodka slushes available Snacks okay pizza sandwiches wraps toasties . Negative toilet area yuck - Needs some work on it . A lock on one of the toilet doors would be good and not that expensive . Good access to beach . Restaurant- I thought the food was good . it depends on how fussy you are . Never went and could not eat anything . Breakfast good selection cereal yogurt fruit bacon fried eggs Lunch salads, fresh fish, meats . Evening meal again I felt good selection . If you’re looking for traditional English grub then you would probably struggle . I thought for what we paid food was very good . But that’s my opinion I love fish so was good for me . No late checkout but they do give you a voucher for lunch . As checkout is at 12 and that all inclusive band comes off as soon as you check out .

Maurício the best! 💪💪💫 Fizeram das nossas férias a diversão, boa disposição e animação! Desejo-vos o melhor! Para o ano estamos cá de novo! Obrigada por tudo! ❤️

Location was perfect between old and new town and right on the beach front. Food was pretty decent for an all inclusive place so didn’t eat out too much! Pool area lovely and spacious and pool bar accommodated for everyone. The entertainment team were amazing, Mau, Rodrigo and Vanessa all great people and gutted to say goodbye to them. Plenty of activities throughout the day and they kept the kids and adults entertained well at night. Room was pretty standard and hot water sometimes went off on occasion (depends how long you shower for) and had to wait a while for the boiler to warm back up, but that didn’t put a dampener on our holiday. All in all a great stay and would definitely come back!
