Grand Muthu Forte do Vale

One issue that needs addressing: sun bed reservations. There’s a sign stating guests can’t reserve sun beds, but it wasn’t enforced at all. We regularly saw beds left “reserved” for hours while no one was using them, which made it frustrating for other guests trying to find a spot by the pool. The main restaurant was decent but light on options for children who don’t eat large portions. A simple plain cheese and tomato pizza (no herbs or garlic) would go a long way for fussy younger eaters. The nightly entertainment could use some work — it felt slow-paced and wasn’t very engaging. Finally, a special thank you to Carlos on reception — he went above and beyond helping me sort out an issue with my laptop during the stay. That kind of service really stood out.

Lovely hotel, lovely facilities, allowed us to check in early however very quiet reception area and made to feel like we were talking loudly by staff. Overall very nice experience and around a 10 minute walk to new town. Pool facilities are also nice !

Beautiful location, not in a rough urban area at all, two beaches not far at all nice to go for a walk and look at the views, loads of trips to do (wine tasting, safari rides, zoo marine dolphin show) which the receptionist will book for you on the phone they’re so helpful. Food is the best holiday all inclusive buffet I ever had, the snack cafe had beautiful sandwiches and coffees and cakes, friendly helpful staff. Bar all inclusive drinks aren’t strong, but a nice low alcohol quencher. Buffet had a different country theme every night so you could have food from all over the world. Cosy room, sofa and washing machine to do your laundry, television, lovely big bath. I would come here again if going to Portugal. My experience was wonderful. Lovely team. If you walk around the corner there’s a couple Portuguese corner shops to get snacks if you want to try them and souvenirs, loads of lovely friendly resteraunts on the street also if you want. Cheap taxi to get to the old town to go to the market which actually has beautiful stuff. Beautiful area beautiful country. I would note we did have a little bit of mould in our bathroom in the corner but it didn’t affect our stay as the service was so good, cleaners would come in and get the room spotless. Wonderful. Also included to travel to their other hotel resteraunts mini bus included to try other delicious food. Inserted a few pics of some of the places we booked through the hotel to go, or were advertised there. Amazing. Indoor turkish bath and sauna and pool and outdoor pool included, the outside pool is great too with sun loungers given to you by staff they will bring them out for you if there mostly taken up.

Plenty of choices for food with access to many other options through the group all free with all inclusive. Room very spacious and towels changed and room cleaned as you would wish. Very friendly staff especially Mustafa and fun entertainment in the evening. Would definitely go again.

I could not beleive it was a 5 star hotel. It was advertized with a buffet resturant and an Italian resturant, which was closed when we arrived but wwe were NOT informed. There was one coffee machine in the whole hotel during the day that you had to go inside for. Nothing by the pool where you could get beer etc. the food was not great and always warm NOT hot. No toiletries provided except soap by the bath. The staff were great the management were awful not helpful at all and again NOT 5 star at all. BE AWARE.

Fantastic team Rosalina was a great help and entertainer with the everything The premise were clean and tydy plus’s a top gym to train in

We came for a cheap, all-inclusive getaway, so didn't have high hopes which was probably for the best. The rooms are a good size, come with a full kitchen, and decent sized lounge and bedroom areas. Beds were comfortable enough for 4 nights. The sofabeds look extremely dated, like something from the 80's and didn't look particularly comfortable for anyone to sleep on. The food was a bit questionable and not really what we expected, they do a different theme every night, but most of it was either luke warm/cold (even if we went down earlier). On our second night, we noticed the fuse box in our room making lots of cracking/hissing sounds like it was about to explode. We told reception, they advised us to turn the switches off one by one at the fusebox, then turn it back on again. We did, and the problem got worse. So we went back downstairs. They suggested just turning all the electrics off for that night, and leaving us with 1 light, but we asked to swap to a different room instead as we didn't feel safe sleeping that close to something that sounded like it was going to 'go boom' in the receptionists words when we showed them the video. Thankfully, we were able to swap rooms and it didn't have any technical issues. The location is good, it's about 10 minutes walk to the closest beach, a 30 minute walk to old town/new town, and 10-15 minute drive to most places. Bolt is very cheap, around €4 for most rides to old town/new town or the marina. Overall, the hotel is fine for a cheap and quick getaway, but I would suggest eating elsewhere.

I enjoy very much with Rosaline in animation of hotel… she play with my son and do very activity’s…
