First stay
Just returned from a 5 day stay room only at this hotel, we had a great time. The hotel was clean and in a great spot for the beach and promenade (10min walk). All the staff were very helpful. We paid for breakfast on 4 occasions and could not fault it cold and hot options. Will definitely return.

Wonderful unique family run hotel
We have just come back after a long weekend at this lovely family run hotel. Our second visit. We loved the hotel last year and were so pleased to say that it was exactly the same. The location is great as not far from the beach and promenade but close lovely restaurants and convenient for bus stops and 15mins from airport. But what really makes this hotel so special is the staff, I would like to say a special thank you to Raquel, one of the receptionists who went out of her way to make sure we had everything, including a room, that we wanted. All the staff go out of their way to help and accommodate if they can and I would like to thank them all. We look forward to our next visit and hopefully it be will be exactly the same again. Thank you for our wonderful stay. Sue and Dave Watson

Fantastic Family Feeling
What an absolute Gem Hotel Arcos de Montemar is. April 2026 had 10 fantastic days here. Rooms and hotel cleaned every day by friendly and sociable staff. Reception Staff so so helpful, as are the Kitchen / Dining Room / Bar / Cleaning and maintenance staff. Made us feel like part of an extended family. Will be back again and would recommend to all. It is ideally located, easy to get to 15 mins from the Airport. Only 30 Euro tops for a taxi. Close to all attractions but far enough out so you are not disturbed. Special thank you from us to Beatrix, Raiss and Julian who made our holiday . Everyone goes above and beyond.
Not worth the money they are asking for...
The staff at the hotel were lovely and helpful. Check in was efficient and we got lots of information about our stay. However... The photos of the hotel's pool are very deceiving. The pool is tiny. It opened at 10am and there was a queue to wait for the pool gate to open. When they got set up at their loungers, they went off to the breakfast room which was across the way. None of the staff stopped them from doing this. It didn't help that the same people were hogging the pool all day, every day and they were noisy. One day we ventured down to the pool late & managed to get sunloungers. When we got into the pool, there were some people singing and just being a general nuisance. A good few times after that we went down during the day to see if they were gone, but they were there from the moment the pool opened, to late in the evening. We only managed to get into the pool once during our entire stay because of them...
We stayed on the 3rd floor and even though the room was big, it appeared dated. The window in the bathroom opened inwards and we were conscious of the fact that it looked out onto apartments beside the hotel. There was no fan in the bathroom - or if there was, it wasn't working. The bathroom got very warm and stuffy after having a shower. When you go into the bathroom in the morning and didn't have the window open, there was a smell of sewage coming up from the toilet. There was limited lighting in the room - no ceiling light, just lighting from two lamps either side of the bed and one near the room door.
It was the noisiest hotel we ever stayed in. Found it hard to sleep with people knocking on doors, rolling suitcases, banging doors and people walking and talking outside the corridor.
The first morning we got breakfast it seemed good. After that, it went downhill rapidly. There were only small cocktail sausages that were dried out, as well as the beans. The rashers were swimming in fat & the scrambled eggs were like rubber. The pastries were mediocre. The only thing it had going for it was the rice pudding with nutmeg.
We booked this hotel late last year and since then, the prices went up, but honestly, we wouldn't have paid any more than we did for the hotel - you would get a really decent hotel for the price they were looking for. Save your money and get a better experience elsewhere.
