Spent 8 nights in the Vasco de Gama and enjoyed the experience. We arrived on an early flight but had no problem checking in. We were initially shown a room on the fourth floor at the side . I asked for a change because it did not have the sea view that I had expected and paid more for and... More

This was our second stay at the Vasco da Gama, bed and breakfast. Our room was first class, overlooking the garden and the sea beyond that. Breakfast was excellent and catered for all tastes. Raphael on reception deserves a special mention. Always cheerful and very helpful. The only disappointment was the entertainment. The magician was so bad, I felt embarrassed... More

My wife and I are currently staying in this hotel and return to the UK. on the 1st. June. I am surprised at how many elderly people stay here (mainly Dutch) as there are so many stairs. Stairs to enter the hotel, 16 steps down to the restaurant, same down to the pool area. Even some down to the back... More

After a couple of years away we returned to the VdG. It was like coming home. Great service, the hotel responded to our e-mail request for a top floor room, great breakfasts, fantastic lunch on the beach ... If you want the hotel will provide beach towels so less to carry from home.

Stayed in a garden room, very pleasant surroundings. Self catering facilities, but we didn't use them seemed well equipped. Had breakfast in hotel. Found the 7.30 - 10.30 am time really good. Excellent swimming pool.

Vasco da Gama Hotel is situated on the beach in Monte Gordo, Eastern Algarve, Portugal. The Hotel was built in 1957 and gives the impression of an old ocean liner sitting in the dock of the bay. The interior of the hotel also resembles a ship, right down to the ship's wheel in reception foyer. This isn't by accident as... More

I really wish I could have stayed longer because it was a most enjoyable and relaxing experience for us.
