Grand Muthu Forte do Vale

Defo not a 5 star hotel-very dated and all mouldy seal round bath. All inclusive food not great. We had to leave a credit card copy at check in and told we wouldn’t be charged- but we were charged £100 after getting home so had to ring trip.com to sort it

Super entertainment… with good interaction between public. Never a dull moment He captures the spirit of art and entertainment 100 pct Accompanied by a lovely assistant that does her own tricks as well Time flies looking at the show… Only the soundsystem needs an upgrade!

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.

Hotel was friendly and clean, very close to 2 beautiful beaches. Didn’t eat at hotel so can’t comment on food. All staff were friendly and nothing was ever to much for them. Joice, the bar maid at the pool bar was by far the best member of staff at the hotel. Always smiling and very friendly. Thank you Joice

The wonderful dancers Yoandry,Cinder,leyanna,Nirma and the choreographer Lauro and the amazing singer Mauro were a brilliant show to watch everyone in the room very clearly enjoyed. Very professional dancers with great personalities. I enjoyed myself very much and they even included the audience at the end of the show. They were fenomenal would recommend to everyone.

The hotel is very good, the reception staff very helpful and polite. The bar has entertainment every night which is excellent especially Macro, Leyanna, Yoandry, Lauro Cinder And Nirma who are part of the International Show. Lots of energy and involved the audience at the end.

From outside, the hotel looks 4/5 stars as you enter too it looks stunning got a lovely bar,restaurant ,kids games room lovely reception area ,great pool area but all that fails once you enter room it's like walking back into 70s I had a one bedroom apartment so had sepwrate kitchen with talk fridge,mucrowave,washing machine,separate bathroom good size bedroom with single beds pushed together which is o.k and good size front room with table chairs and tv on wall with pull out couch bed witch sounds great but if you can ignore the dirty curtains in plum and bage in both rooms the dark furniture a plum rug that looks like it was killed a week ago and then there's the pull out couch that I think was stolen from the local homeless guys you definitely wouldn't sleep on it nor sit on it without putting a sheet over it,the tv is great if your French or Russian honestly we were expecting what it was advertised as a 5 star hotel but it is no were near it once in the rooms and I also seen another room that my brother and wife were staying in and that was worse than mine..don't be booked by how it looks becouse from outside it looks superb but once inside then you'll be disappointed 100%.
